Amazing food and service. First off, the restaurant is impeccably clean, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Finally, the food is very well prepared, hot, and delicious. Today, on a cold, wet Sunday fun day morning, we decided to have menudo con pata--mmmm good. I'm a foodie and highly recommend. read more

Ham breakfast burrito. Potatoes were hard and undercooked. I ordered at the drive though. I would have rather had them make me wait than give me undercooked food. read more

I usually have a little something for breakfast but was unusually famished so I stopped in for a breakfast burrito and damn, was it tasty!!! I got the Ortega chile, bean, and egg breakfast burrito with cheese. It wasn't spicy at all but it did come with a side of salsa and I got some torrido peppers. Restaurant was super clean and the staff was very attentive and friendly. I'm looking forward to patronizing this place many more times and trying out their other menu items for lunch. I do admit that 12 bucks for a breakfast burrito is a bit expensive though, but what else isn't these days. read more

Stopped here to grab a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was. They have great lunch specials and are serving up many of the traditional items you would see on diner menus. I ended up just ordering zucchini fries for myself and they were delicious. I also tried some of their chicken which was good too. The service was nice, she gave good suggestions for meals. I like how they have an outdoor patio option for seating as well. Worth checking this place out! read more

Food is ok. Service is subpar, which I guess for a joint like this is to be expected. A massive issue is the price shown on the menu is different from the price you pay. I ordered two crispy fish tacos which were $5.79 each on the menu. However after I paid I noticed on the receipt they charged me for $6.79 each. When I went back to the counter and asked they just shrugged and since I was in a hurry there wasn't anything I can do. Won't be coming here or any other locations again and I stronger recommend you pay extra attention when you get food here. read more

Go together with some friends to have something to eat, a last minute idea. The restaurant was very clean, with a large menu selection to choose from. The staff was friendly and helpful, the prices were reasonable and the portions good. I had the blueberry pancakes, all my friends enjoyed their choices very much. Is it "fancy", no it's not. But it's friendly, clean and a good place to stop by for lunch (or breakfast) if you're in the area. read more

This place has quite a menu. Everything is pretty much delicious, especially their burrito. I've been coming here for their breakfast burrito or their Asada Burrito. Both are great choices. Today was something different. I was craving for something usual like chicken, and they have few choices when it comes to chicken. Like the fried chicken meal or chicken strip, but the chicken wings caught my eyes. Well, hellooo, Chicken Wings! Yummy in my tummy. Was pretty quiet during this hour, so ordering was a breeze. The lady that was taking the orders was pretty nice. She didn't rush you, but she did acknowledge you in case you were ready to order. So, thank you for your patience. She was polite and kind with a great vibe in general. Let's dive right into the good stuff, but if my ways of describing things don't please you. Take a look at some of the pictures I've attached to this review. My orders are, Main: 1. CHICKEN WINGS BASKET WITH FRIES 6 PCS FRIED CHICKEN WINGS WITH A CHOICE OF SAUCE / NATURAL-CUT FRENCH FRIES The Wings was good and well season, but it's was a little too crispy as in, the meat almost disappeared but it was good. The Fries was perfect! Was crisp and delicious. Cook to order same goes for the wings. Who doesn't love a good Fries, let's go. I recommend this location due to their good customer service experience. Very clean and sanitized. Their parking lot is spacious and easy access. This place is unique in their own way, from design and presentation, it's pretty nice. If you're in the area, stop by and say hi. Enjoy it here or on the go. Share your experience. P.s. Don't forget to smile cause you're beautiful. SYOY! read more

As somebody who lives near this place I have been coming here for years. It has been a childhood favorite of mine. I have tried a lot of their foods, mostly favorited are their breakfast burritos, breakfast plates, chilli cheese fries, hamburgers, and most definitely their carne asada fries. read more

I go here every so often since it's one of the few local places by work but I've actually never had anything that I didn't like. Chicken Sandwich, Gyro and Chicken Pita and their greek salad. It's surprisingly really good for a small local cafe. The staff is also really nice and everything is made fresh when ordered. read more

I orded some chili cheese fries, and I noticed the portion was a lot smaller than what I got last time. It was almost empty compared to before. It seems like the portions have gotten smaller lately. Just wanted to point it out in case it's something that can be looked into." read more

The cost of good food! I've been coming to this restaurant when it was call "Frontiers". It's always been a staple in this community and known for its burgers. Recently things have changes since along with management: Service 3.8/5: I enjoy seeing some of the same faces that have worked here lately. They are attentive and ready to serve you. However, there are a few new associates that may need more training. Food 4.5/5: same menu, same great burgers, same large portions. For a grown man, one hamburger special can fill you up. Burgers are great and the chicken dinner is amazing. Chicken dinner also comes with salad and a toasted bread. These are my favorites, also try the chilli fries! Price 2/5: this was the only thing that brought this rating down. Being apart of this community and frequenting here weekly, I've notice the price changes. Since the change in management, pricing has risen faster than inflation. Understandably from a business perspective, however I miss the 3 dollar large fries and 7 dollar hamburger specials. Hope this helps! read more

This place is so nostalgic to me.. even though the name has changed, little else has. Instead of getting my hamburger special that I used to get throughout elementary, middle school and high school, now I get a chicken wrap and add Avocado. If you're looking for a good burger stand with good food, look no more. I love Frontiers!! Oops.. I meant to say Alea's Cafe read more

Won't go back, the food is good. The prices have gone through the roof. The prices are more expensive than a sit down restaurant. Idk how they will stay in business. The location is in the hood and most people can't afford a $25 meal for one person. I used to eat there weekly for probably 10 years. Now I think about it look at the prices and change my mind. They also changed the fried chicken it is not good anymore. I used to really like it. read more

The removed all prices from the drive thru. This is disgusting to hide your prices. Ordered a Denver Omelette and wasn't even told the price until i pulled up to the window. It was $17, like i would maybe have ordered something else. I get times are tough with the minimum wage hike but this ain't the way. Omelette was decent,aside of the giant chunks of raw bell peppers it was okay. Not $17 even $10 is pushing it. Oh well lesson learned, will be going 2 blocks to Fantastic now Their prices are listed inside so if your thinking of going to this place just walk inside read more

Food is decent 5/10 Service Is fast and friendly most of the time 7/10 Chicken can be dry at times because the chef likes to over cook it They're generous about the condiments and extra dressing We go here often not because they make the best burgers in town but because they're the nearest to our office read more

Mediterranean plate is good, so is the chicken plate, kids love the Carne asada fries read more

Food tasted amazing. The girl who helped me was super nice and friendly. When I dinned in the place was really clean. Im willing to drive from LA just to come back here not gonna lie. read more

$6.01 for this 1 horribly made ground beef taco is beyond ridiculous. That would be $12.02 for two feels like a robbery read more

Well I ordered through Grub Hub. The coffee had spilled all through the paper bag so the sugar packets where not usable. The coffee smelled great and fresh but little strong The food , unfortunately wasn't anything to rave about As it tast just like any other french toast combo. However, My bacon was not Burnt. read more

We were in the neighborhood of Long Beach and stopped in at Alea's Cafe at the suggestion of a friend. He said the chili cheese fries were the best! Of course we ordered chili cheese fries and onion rings. Both were tasty and the ranch dip was bomb! The chili was a bit greasy but we chowed down nevertheless lol! If we're in the neighborhood again, we would probably pop in again but I can't say I would go out of my way to come back. read more

Food is always great here! They never disappoint. One of my favorite items is their wraps or breakfast burritos. It is a bit expensive but definitely worth it. Service here is good as well. I can't remember the last time an item has ever been forgotten. I'm a frequent customer due to the food quality and service. Keep it up Alea. read more

Close and convenient but prices are outrageous. My favorite is their fries. Clean if you eat inside I go for the drive thru but it is very expensive read more

In my first visit I noticed that this place was very clean and the employees were very helpful. The young lady behind the counter recommend the breakfast burrito that was delicious. I will definitely try this place again when I am in the area. read more

I have a few years coming here it was a great spot to stop by and have dinner with my family but ever since they changed workers this place has gone down. The girls who work here are soo rude and disrespectful Ana has the worst attitude and service skills, they used to have a girl in the afternoons during the week and Sunday mornings name Lupe who was amazing had the best customer service i've ever experienced. I know that me not going to eat here won't affect them but I will no longer be eating here. read more

35$ & a 35 minute wait for a chicken pita sandwich and pastrami melt combo, regular... AKA yeah just don't even bother stopping here. Lol. They done lost they damn minds. The food so mid and they specialize in ice water, to be overpriced like this in a ghetto ass neighborhood should be illegal. Run fast read more

Ok so.....this place isn't a fancy steakhouse but I'd rather eat here than Applebees. That being said... Staff is always great and the food is always satisfying. Great selection of food and my favorite is the Ortega burger or maybe it's the pastrami burger. The Ortega breakfast burrito is amazing too. My son ordered a customer breakfast burger with Ortega chili and over medium egg on top last time and they knocked it outta the park. We'll definitely keep coming back read more

Kind of middle of the road on Alea! I've gotten their breakfast burritos before. Solid taste, but definitely not enough meat for the size and cost. Overall, the place is clean and staff is nice. They have a wide variety of things on the menu, so might need to give some of the other things a try. Stay Cheerful ;) read more

Had a pastrami and fries later on that day my stomach was bubbling and didn't feel too good, nauseous. Needless to say got food poisoning, haven't been back since. read more

I've given this place multiple tries and each time it's disgusting. I moved to the neighborhood right behind Alea six years ago and I tried them not long after I moved here, it was bad then and it has not improved. This morning my bf went to just get me hash browns and two over medium eggs. So let me tell you, the hash browns were not hash browns at all, it was simply a mound of potato mush that was very lightly browned on the outside and then the eggs were actually over hard with a very rubbery texture. I took a couple of bites and then it went in the trash. I didn't know you could screw up eggs and hash browns so badly but Alea's has managed to do it. You've been warned. read more

I love Alea's, I love their service and food and I would give them 5 stars, but time after time their employee Martha has messed things up. Often I ask for the veggie omelette and she always confuses it for a Denver omelette, they don't even sound the same. I asked for a crispy chicken club with bacon and avocado and I double checked asking if she got it down and she says yes, and I get home and there's nothing there. She's not attentive to customers, she just goes back and starts joking around with the cooks. Martha needs to be trained better or let go. read more

Good place to go for breakfast, I get the chorizo and egg burrito with hash browns instead of beans.

This place has amazing burgers and fries! This is my second visit here, but my parents come here often on their lunch breaks. The first time I came, I got a turkey burger and it took me back to when I was in college. I literally was obsessed with my campus pub. But this time, I got a hamburger combo. I was so so excited to come back since I thought the first time I came was top notch, but this time was in a league of its own. The hamburger was so fresh, the veggies were crisp, the sauce is absolutely delicious, and the bun is so soft and delicious. Don't even get me started on the fries. Both times now, I've been blessed to have these crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and perfectly seasoned fries. Everyone here is so kind, attentive, and so absolutely hospitable. One of the absolute best places I've been to in a long time! I will be coming back, and consistently. read more

I come here at least twice a week. The Carne Asada fries are my favorite. I often swap for grilled chicken. Chili cheese fries, tostada salad, burritos, and all their breakfast items. I'm still working my way through the menu.The food is consistently good. Service is quick, and they accommodate my complicated orders. Prices are reasonable, everywhere is up. The place is clean and the coffee is good. read more

My first visit! Extensive, delicious menu. I enjoyed my feta fries and frosty horchata. A large shaded patio is available.

Typical burger spot but they have a wide variety of other food options. Chilaquiles, taco bowl salad, and bomb breakfast burritos. My kids love the french toast and pancakes. The only thing I can complain about is the prices. You get told one thing but by the time they ring it all up, plus the drinks you overpay for sure. Burgers are pretty good but think it gets so many customers because its the only burger spot we got in this area. The service is ok but I recommend calling in your order beforehand. read more

You are better going off to Mcdoonalds. So expensive and yet the quality of the food is mid.

Nice and tasty burgers. I had double cheeseburger caution unless you have a big appetite go with cheeseburger, highly recommended.

Never again. Came here to check out this hole in the wall for dinner and ordered the chicken strip and fries basket. The girl who took our order over the speaker was rude and couldn't answer a simple question. We waited longer then we should've and there weren't even any customers. The lady at the window took our payment, didn't ask any questions, no smile, and after she gave us the bag didn't say thank you or anything at all!! I could have overlooked all of that if the food was good, but it unfortunately wasn't. You get 3 pieces of chicken which was your typical breaded strips (nothing special), but the real crime here were the dry ass fries, no greasy deliciousness! How can you serve dry fries at a hole on the wall? For $11 it couldve at least come w a drink! The chicken to fry ratio was a joke. Cant recommend this place. read more

I can't believe the wet asada burrito is $11.49. Come on!! People are hurting out here! Your high prices WILL keep me away. Significant price reduction is needed and it will attract more customers. That's Econ 101. I won't be back because of the high prices. read more
