Mama's Egg House

Mama’s Egg House has a vegan menu with several choices. My husband and I had two of them and both were a lot of food with excellent quality. They are cooked to order, so you can leave out items if you don’t want them. Our non-vegan friends said the items they ordered were excellent also. Updated from previous review on 2026-01-26

On a busy weekend it gets a bit tight in the line to order food. If you have the patience this place is quite worth it. Great morning cocktails and great breakfast options. Definitely a little Chicano flavor especially with the chiliquiles!

A great place for breakfast and lunch! All of the food was delicious, and the portion sizes were perfect.

I gave 4 stars for service because a waitress told me to be seated and that she would bring me a menu, but she never did. I gave 4 stars for atmosphere because the outdoor seating area appears to have a yellowjacket problem even in the winter, which makes it uncomfortable to eat outside.

Visited on a Saturday morning, luckily a bit before the bigger crowds. We had to wait for about 10 mins which was alright as it was still a bit cold and wet outside and we wanted to sit inside with our baby. All the employees we encountered were super friendly. One of the waitresses took our order, if you’re seated at an awkward table they will let you know if you have to place your order at the counter. The food came out super fast and was some of the best food I’ve had in a while (I’ve yet to find a Hispanic food place as good in SD). My husband and I shared the Birria Chilaquiles (spicy) and the Humpty Dumpty Burger which balanced out the spicy food. The regular coffee was good and they’ll top you off for the road. A bit pricey but what restaurant isnt pricey just how it has been most days and the food did not disappoint. Also if I’m not mistaken they have vegan options. I wish I would have tried their juices or lattes because they have a fancy coffee machine. Can’t wait to be back when there’s some snow.

The food looked and smelled like tastes good and the atmosphere is beautiful, but the customer service was the worst I’ve ever experienced and completely ruined my Christmas vacation.
They got my order wrong and never confirmed it with me. I ordered chilaquiles with steak on the side for my son, and I chilaquiles for myself because I have lupus and cannot eat meat. Instead, they brought me steak and eggs. When I checked the receipt, they insisted that was what I paid for and refused to exchange the food, blaming me for not checking sooner.
They were unwilling to work with me or fix the mistake. When my friend tried to explain the situation, they told him the same thing. He became upset and started arguing because they were insisting he eat food that was not what we ordered. At that point, a kitchen employee came out and tried to confront my friend and told us to leave. I had to calm my friend down and explain the entire situation again, emphasizing that no one had tried to resolve the issue.
Eventually, they did bring out the correct chilaquiles, but the staff was angry and rude about it. They even gave extra food, but I didn’t feel comfortable eating it after how everything was handled.
Overall, this was a terrible experience. If you come here, make sure to check your order carefully, because they don’t double-check and will charge you regardless. The poor customer service overshadowed what could have been a nice visit.

Busy during the weekend but worth the wait. While we were waiting, I was eyeing all the food being brought out. There burgers looked huuuge, burritos were gigantic! I ordered the Chilaquillas and rib eye, and it was delicious. Outside seating as well as inside. No fountain drinks, only bottled, coffees, OJ and I believe I saw them making some mixed alcoholic drinks too. Definitely recommend

Everytime im in idyllwyld I get breakfast here. Love the outdoor seating. The chili Verde omelet is amazing and so are the bennys. Everyone's friendly here. You order at the counter and they bring it to you. Dog friendly

I've never had a ribeye with breakfast and three eggs for less than 30$, let alone one of the most delicious breakfasts I had in Idyllwild
