Brunch Restaurants near National City, CA

“Oh my goodness, I amazed at the service we received today. We found this place from google and can’t believe how well we were treated, especially by our server Mary Jane. She sat us right away, was very social and made us feel so welcomed. She was also so funny and just had good vibes all around. She gave us some recommendations as well. It was my fiancé birthday and she got him an ice cream! Thank you so much Mary Jane! We will definitely be back just for her.“

“First time there for lunch and I'll be going back again. Food was tastey. I had the Oklahoma onion burger and fries... tasted similar to a patty melt in best of ways. Friend had the Madi wrap and enjoyed it. It was loud with all the tables filled but could still have convos. Sat on the patio.“

“I love that food taste good fresh“

“We were looking for a relaxed happy hour spot near where we live on a weekend and stumbled upon this gem on Adam Avenue. The area has some cute shops nearby and wasn't overly crowded, which was perfect. The weather was beautiful, so we grabbed a table outside and settled in right as happy hour started at 3 pm.
We both ordered cocktails and were genuinely impressed. They were well-balanced, flavorful, and exactly what we wanted. For food, we stuck to the happy hour menu and tried the wings, sliders, and the potato cake with short ribs. Everything was solid, but the potato cake was the clear standout for me. The outside was perfectly crispy, and the short ribs on top were tender.
We also ordered the crepe cake with short ribs from the regular menu (not happy hour pricing, but still very reasonable). I’d never tried anything like it before, and it blew me away. The creamy sauce was rich and packed with flavor. I’d highly recommend it.
Our waiter was a super nice guy who checked on us regularly and made sure we had everything we needed. Great service all around.
If you’re in the area and want good drinks, tasty bites, and a chill outdoor vibe, this place is worth checking out. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Friend recommended it and when we went the staff was super nice and although we only had the coffee it was super good“

“I love stopping by Arandas Café whenever I’m in Imperial Beach. It’s such a cute little spot and it always feels cozy. This time I got a matcha, their freshly squeezed orange juice, the Monte Cristo, and a parfait — everything was so fresh and honestly so yummy. The vibe is calm, the people are sweet, and it’s just one of those places you’re happy you found. Definitely one of my little go-to gems.“

“I have been to faith tabernacle spanish service at 12:30 on Saturday and it is very organized sysrts on time and everything and everyone is very nice it is a bit loud but I was prepared with ear plugs ? great message by the pastor and lot's of great activities during the week at their central campus ?“

“*Long Post, but worth the read, if you want to be served well!* My family and I dropped in on this place as last minute brunch decision. I loved the dining room atmosphere. I loved the simplicity of the menu with a little bit of something for everyone ❤️ Five stars seems like a reach, but if you’ve ever been served by Jose, then you’ll understand my rating. Was our food flavorful and delicious? Yes! (Husband wasn’t a fan of the lemonade though, lol) Was the presentation lovely? Absolutely! We did go on a weekday so the atmosphere was pretty chill and peaceful, which was great for us. However, this review is about the star of the show! Jose! Since Covid, it’s been very challenging to come across servers who care about above and beyond customer service anymore. It’s becoming rare to have a server who doesn’t make it obvious they are painfully annoyed with your every request, even when you literally just sat down. 🤦🏽‍♀️ with that being said, Jose is what one would call a “unicorn” of servers. When I tell you, this guy put his all into our table! He was so attentive, his disposition was so genuine, kind and speedy. When we spilled our water across the entire table, I’m sure he could sense our uneasiness and maybe embarrassment(we have small kids so we try not to be a burden to our servers) but throughout our entire visit in the most sincere way kept reassuring us that we weren’t any trouble at all. At one point he hit us with the, “don’t worry, your home, I’ll take care of it” 😧🥹👏🏽 👏🏽👏🏽 we thank you Jose! it was truly one of the most memorable server experiences we’ve had in yeeaaarssss…❤️Our family will be back and we look forward to your service again

(P.S I had the birria tacos, husband had meatlovers omelet, kids had strawberries and crema pancakes with yogurt)“

“Food was delicious, conveniently located by all the hotels! Vera was great, made suggestions and kept checking in on us and the 2 other parties there while we were there, it was me and my 6year old having breakfast! Extremely please with the atmosphere, asthetic, service, and food! We will definitely be back!
Thank you Vera and kitchen team for starting our 2nd day of vacation on such a great note!“
