Before heading out to catch our plane back home, we decided on breakfast at Breakfast Republic in the Scripps Ranch (Mira Mesa) area of San Diego. They actually have quite a few other locations in California. We decided on Breakfast Republic because they had quite a few vegan options, which we always appreciate ... and they all sounded rather interesting. Honestly, I don't think there could possibly have been a bad choice, so it was a matter of making the best choice .. for us. Sandi opted for the Tres Leches Pancakes because well, she's a pancakes kinda gal :). I was torn between their Vegan Breakfast Burrito with beef strips, plant based eggs, fakon, vegan cheddar, cashew cream and more .... or the Veggie Pesto Frittata, an open face omelet with various veggies and greens, plant based eggs, sweet'n'sour tomato jam and more ... and ultimately opted for the former. In addition, Sandi pointed out they had vegan Bloody Mary options available š¤ woot woot, that's my favorite adult beverage! I opted for the tequila version instead of the vodka version, if only because every version I've had previously was with vodka so I preferred to try something different. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, the vegan sweet buttercream really helping to elevate the dish! The Vegan Burrito was a monster!! Thank goodness Sandi was able to help me with this because there's zero chance I was finishing this on my own and I preferred not to carry food with me into the airport if I could help it. The burrito itself is huge, cut into two separate aequal halves, on top of which you also have the black beans, mexican rice and, salsa - wow, just wow!! Their Bloody Mary was no less impressive, delicious with just the right amount of kick, a huge piece of celery, a gherkin pickle, and olives. If you're lucky enough to be visiting California and have a Breakfast Republic near you, they're definitely worth the visit. Be sure to bring a full appetite and a friend to help as well :)
I really enjoyed the tres leche pancakes. Fluffy and sweet.
Monserrat was great!

A great breakfast place. It was surprising me that they served Jambalaya. The dish looked delicious, but the taste was a little bland. Tomato sauceās taste could be thicker.

Food is good. Huge wait times on the weekend. The girl at checkin is rude. We were told 15 minutes for an inside table. We waited for half an hour and then enquired. The girl started yelling that she cannot ask people to leave the table. We never asked that. What we expect is the girl goes and gets the status and gives us an update, especially after waiting double the time.

My husband and I came here for the first time today to celebrate our anniversary and it did not disappoint. The service was very friendly and the food was delicious. I ordered the traditional American and my husband ordered the Chilaquiles. We also got a bloody Mary and a guava mimosa, which were so delicious. I also
Recommend the cafĆ© de olla . Our waitress Monseirat was very sweet and attentive. We canāt wait to come backš

From our first experience, Breakfast Republic takes their main dishes seriously while ignoring the quality of their sides and sauces. If you go there and just eat the main dish, you will leave happy (although you may feel weird about treating the large helping of side dish like a garnish).
The California Breakfast Burrito was very tasty (upgraded with the Jurrasic Pork Bacon), but they served it with a Mexican rice and black beans that were both badly in need of seasoning. Additionally, the salsa on the side lacked any distinct flavor, texture, or heat. The breakfast burrito stood out on its own, and that is the way it should be served.
The Mushroom Pesto Benedict was delicious, but the side of roasted potatoes was bland and without any distinct texture. This was another situation where the main dish would be made better by subtracting the side.
So many big restaurants have the problem of doing too many things and doing none of them well (I call this āApplebeeās Syndromeā). This is *NOT* Breakfast Republicās issue. Breakfast Republic does many things very well, but need to identify the things they do poorly and then either improve or remove those.
