“Always the best service from start to finish. The chemistry between the servers is top tier. Food is always great. I rotate between the Crab&Crawfish Cake Benedict and a few others but no matter what I always get the Jurassic Pork or Asiago Chicken Fennel as a side! The fresh squeezed orange juice is my favorite. They also have a great drink menu for those brunch days!“

Donny was our server. Restaurant was clean and roomy. We ordered Carnitas Breakfast Skillet and Chicken Waffles. Both so good. Apple pie was good too. Not too sweet. Would come back in the future!“

“One of the best experiences we have ever had. From the moment we walked in we had a wonderful lady named Julie greet us and she was our waitress. She made the BEST coffee and was so kind. She made today even more special than it already was. This location is where my soon to be husband and I had our first date 3 years ago. Today we were celebrating our last Valentine’s Day before we get married! This is our tradition every year but this year Julie really made it so special! She was amazing and we would go back just to see her! Thank you so much Julie for being an amazing addition to our memories! She even got us the salt and pepper shakers! Love love love!!“

“Staff is very friendly. Amazing food and amazing service! Rene is the best chef in town! Will be back again for sure! Highly recommend!“

“The location is truly out of this world! Nestled right on the beach, it offers an incredible view of the waves rolling in and out—such a unique and relaxing setting. We decided to sit at the bar, where the bartender was super friendly and made us a delicious raspberry lemon drop with fresh ingredients. We were hungry but found that nothing on the menu really stood out for us at the moment, so we just enjoyed the drinks and the atmosphere. It’s a great spot to sit at the bar, take in the chill vibes, and soak up the stunning view. There’s valet and street parking.“

“So the food was really good, I got the savory sausage burrito and the ebird sando and would get both again.

Two main complaints unfortunately: the first is who puts American cheese on a burrito? It threw me off and I honestly couldn’t really get past it. I’m going to order again and see if they will switch the cheese for literally anything else and then I’ll update my review bc the food is really good otherwise.

Second complaint is the amount of upcharge on delivery - The burrito on the menu is $12 but on DoorDash was $14.40. That’s a pretty big surcharge (on top of DoorDash fees). If that’s not an upcharge and it’s just what their new prices are then it’s more expensive and smaller than a breakfast burrito from any local Mexican spot.“

“The BEST pancakes you’ll find! Nice portions, great prices, stellar service. 10/10!“

“Been waiting for my food for about an hour at this point. Other guests have been seated served and left already while we still wait on our order. We've asked and have been given no time estimate of when the food will arrive.

Update: got my food, carried to my room so we could eat while getting ready for the rest of the day. Food is ok. Steak was overcooked. The waitress was kind and sympathetic.

Update 2: day 2, service is still great. Atmosphere is the same of course. The food was actually really good even if it took a while yesterday. Might update the stars from 1 to more depending on how it goes!“

“My favorite place to go eat when I go visit San Diego. The food it’s delicious and the service is wonderful. ✅😋“

“Best food truck in San Diego..Emilios beltre sauce gives a great flavor to the food and the best sauce I have tried.. if you got a military id make sure to stop by naval base point loma to try some great food. Emilio and Yadhira would be there to give you an excellent customer service..“

“I just recommend this place to everyone, delicious, unpretentious and hearty food. It has been my favorite place in OB for breakfast for over several decades. I even brought homesick recruits from Naval Training Center San Diego for breakfast and a bit of home style. Never have been disappointed.“

“The owner Judy is so nice & the staff are wonderful! They updated their menu recently to reflect new pricing. A gem of a place to eat in South Park!“

The manager was great and he was nice enough to let me recharge my laptop due to an almost dead battery - that helped get my work done with the recharged laptop and save the day with my client!“
