Great breakfast spot. Especially if you run into local OF star jolene brody/lauren driskell. You cant miss her. Long red hair, tattoos, etc. If she's here, she's usually interviewing guys to work with.

Got the machaca plate and the breakfast egg, sausage, and pancakes, orange juice, coffee, and Pepsi. Total was $47.
The bad: tomatoes in the machaca tasted like they were turning bad, the coffee tasted like rag water.
The good: pancakes are good.
Service is average. Had to repeat myself several times as the waiter doesn't write anything down. When I paid they didn't bring me my change, I literally had to ask for my change. They assumed the rest was a tip. Strange assumption.
Overall below average experience.

We didn’t even sit down. The booth seats were dirty. Food embedded in the crevices. We asked for a high chair. It wasn’t just sticky, but there was visible dried food on it. The 2nd high chair she brought was no better. We quietly left. As we were walking out there was a waitress wiping down the high chairs with a dirty rag. I can’t comment on the food because we didn’t stay.

Stopped in to the Golden Hill Cafe for breakfast, but immediately regretted it. The place smelled strongly of urine. We asked for a high chair, but every single one was covered in sticky syrup. When we mentioned it, the staff member shrugged it off and used a filthy black rag to “clean” it. At that point, we decided to leave without ordering.

Cute little old school breakfast spot. The Ham and eggs plate with side of pancakes was good. The slice of ham was thick and perfectly cooked.

Came here for breakfast, and I don't know why we didn't just get up and leave after we walked in.
Place was very dirty overall, it smelt like pee in there, service was bad, and the food was not good. I got biscuits and gravey and it was just not good at all!
Also the booths are super tiny, I'm only 5 feet 2 and me and my husband could barely sit in it - our knees were touching under the table!
This place used to be beautiful to come and eat but very sad that this place is not taken care of . The place is very dirty, everything looks dirty. Even when they bring ice they use their hands to stuff the ice down. I had beautiful memories of coming here and its sad it is so neglected. Not only dirty and not taken care of but the building inside needs attention. I hope the owner can help give care to this place , fix the parts that are falling apart, chipping of the paint etc. This is the last time I come here under these conditions.

Great spot for Mexican breakfast! The service is so incredibly fast and we didn’t have to wait for a seat in the morning. The prices are reasonable and the food is authentic. It’s not a fancy place but perfect for a quick bite to eat. I really enjoyed the hash browns.
