    Pigs in a blanket w/side 2 eggs
    Rebecca G.

    A hidden gem! In the heart of old town/downtown Oxnard, parking is a little challenging on the street but there might be more in back? This is an incredible breakfast spot! But their menu is huge! And not just breakfast! My husband stumbled upon BG's a few weeks ago and just loved it! So... with great pride he took me here for breakfast and it was so good! The service was great, we were offered drinks right away (sadly they were out of orange juice) and after our drinks were brought out we sat for quite a while before anyone came to take our order. My husband had to actually make a point to say "we're ready". Honestly throughout our meal our server was very friendly and attentive. My reason for 4 stars and not 5 wasn't because of that but rather what they charged us for our 12 oz iced teas at $4 each. Way overpriced! BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse only charges $2.79. I also think $6 for a side of 2 fried eggs is a bit over the top. Just saying... I absolutely plan to come back and definitely recommend giving them a try!

    Veggie Omelette
    Beckie B.

    My husband and I love this place and have been going there for breakfast for years. It has the old diner kind of feelings and the staff has remained the same for year too. The food is consistently delicious. The owner, Jose, takes pride in helping the staff and also welcoming his customers, so we feel like family going there. Angie, our waitress, has our breakfast ordered memorized, and even now that we moved away and only go there when we are in town, still remembers. I always have the egg white veggie omelette, with sautéed spinach, onions, mushrooms and fresh jalapeños, perfectly seasoned. Inhaven't found a better omelette since we moved. We highly recommend going in and try it for yourselves.

    Classic eggs and bacon with a side of Avocado and Diner coffee!!

    I can't believe that in all the time I've been coming to Oxnard for work, I've never stopped by BG's cafe. This is your quintessential local's diner. Classic breakfast and lunch offerings among other things. However they cater to the locals, lots of mexican breakfast options, and you can choose tortilla as side instead of your typical toast options. Today was a breakfast kind of day. Bacon, eggs and coffee. Not pictured was a side of salsa they brought me that really kicked the whole meal up a notch. For a Monday this place was packed, but I didn't wait long for a table. The service is great, everyone was very attentive and food came out hot and fast. ! The inside is cozy. The walls decorated with old photos of the city and surrounding areas, random knick knacks sit on shelves as if you're in someone's grandma's house. One thing that made me exceptionally happy is that there is lots of booth seating. Even the tables in the middle of the room have booth seats. Classic and no fuss. This place has definitely made it to my list for go to diners next time I'm in this area.

    Oatmeal Combo
    Carolina L.

    We didn't want a big breakfast due to an event we would be attending. I love oatmeal and so that's what I ordered. It was creamy and delicious! The locals seem to love this place and I can see why. Staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant looks like a hole in the wall but it's not, very deceiving. It can accommodate a good amount of customers

    One of the must try if you're ever in downtown Oxnard. This restaurant has been around so long, you can see cool historical artifacts and photos here. Food is always flavorful, never need to add much to your plate. They have a variety in the menu and look for their specials as it's not on the menu. Service is friendly. There's plenty parking in the back if you have trouble finding a slot in the front.

    Despite the rainy weather, this spot was worth the drive. Started the visit with nice warm tasty coffee & hot chocolate. The server was friendly and attentive. Our plates took a little time and the coffee was refilled while we waited. The french toast touched with orange and vanilla was delightful. The ham steak & eggs was good. The biscuit & gravy was delicious with butter or gravy. Overall great small family style restaurant with traditional menu, warm atmosphere, and friendly service. Check it out!

    Pozole verde special
    Rene R.

    I've come to BGs and had delicious food before but this last time was lackluster. I hate giving bad reviews but this is just for the dish and not the restaurant itself. Waitress was nice and attentive. Cafe was bustling for a Sunday morning. Just this pozole was no bueno. The broth was very thick. My mom complained that her chile verde was not servers HOT, just warm. Hoping next time will be better!

    Chorizo Omelette, country potatoes, biscuit, gravy and coffee.
    Ealeen B.

    This place doesn't disappoint me every chance I come here. It has that typical Mom n Pop local cafe settings. I come here for omelets, biscuits and gravy. Their price has gotten higher but what hasn't. Today, I had Chorizo omelet with country fried potatoes, biscuit and a side of gravy. I also had a decaffeinated coffee. The whole meal including the tax is $25.00. Their portion is big so I can only eat almost half of the servings. Their food tasted like they are home cooked. The biscuit is bready which I like and the gravy is not overpowering. They make their own chorizo. Presentation is good. Until my next visit but this place is highly recommended.

    Country Eggs Benedict
    Angela C.

    What a cute little gem in downtown Oxnard! Everyone was so friendly and I loved the homey feel of the restaurant. There was a good variety of kids' options, which is a plus as my toddler is especially picky, but he loved everything he ate. Shout out to their country Benedict - heavy but beyond delicious.

    French toast
    cynthia g.

    First time here I was impressed w the food, a little bummed they didn't offer mimosas but everything else felt like I was in someone's home kitchen, the waiter lagged with my coffee even tho we asked him about 3-4 times, we eventually just got up and served our own coffee, overall Goode experience tho god I finally got to try it and we will be back

    Nopalito Egg Scramble with O'Brien's potatoes, coffee and a grilled Jalapeño!
    Miguel R.

    So I woke up in need of some Sunday morning nourishment! I went to my downtown Oxnard old reliable and once again BG's cafe didn't disappoint! I wanted something savory, somewhat healthy and that I wouldn't feel self conscious about later in the day! So I ordered the Nopalito Scramble with perfectly seasoned O'Brien's potatoes (totally worth the extra apostrophe). The egg to veggie to nopales ratio was on point and I even ordered an extra flour tortilla as the portion was more than I thought I could pack into two palm sized glorious breakfast tacos! The grilled Jalapeño was the perfect compliment and of course the never ending hot coffee fresh off the pot fill-ups were on the spot! Overall, I enjoyed it very much! You can tell by the ambiance that this is a great escape from the usual taquerias and chain restaurants in the area! Like a breath of fresh air-- BG's came through to solve my ever growing search for something different in Oxnard! Service was friendly, on point and I appreciated them coming by to check on me multiple times throughout my breakfast even though the place was packed and busy AF!

They have an expansive menu that is almost overwhelming, but it's clear each item should be there and is delicious. There are so many options everyone can find something they will love. My son ordered the Loru's Combo with the cinnamon roll French toast. OMG...he loved it and I have to agree. Perfect texture and cinnamon flavor. A must order again My husband enjoyed the Machaca with over easy eggs...perfection! Not a smidge left on the plate. The best item was the Chiliquilles Divoriciados. Wow! Both red and green sauce with beans, eggs and crispy creamy hashbrowns were out of this world and the table agreed. That is a must order again! Pair this with a mimosa and you're in business! This place is packed but moves quickly. Can't wait to come back and try lunch or dinner or another great breakfast!

    We had a great Valentine's Day brunch at Hollywood Beach Cafe!…read more We joined the Yelp waitlist while walking over from our hotel and ended up waiting only about 25 minutes for a table around 10am, honestly impressive for Valentine's Day. The process was super easy and made the wait feel seamless. We were seated on the "outdoor" patio, which was absolutely delightful. It's covered, so it feels like you're inside, but it's still open-air and pup friendly, which we loved. They even have a pup menu and bring out little metal water bowls. Our doggo was living his best life. The menu is large with tons of options. We initially tried using the QR code (which is great because it includes photos), but ultimately asked for a paper menu, sometimes it's just easier to flip through. My husband ordered The California (eggs, bacon, and pancakes). This breakfast also comes with toast and your choice of potatoes. We upgraded to the chili cheese tots, thinking it was just a small upcharge from the standard side, and didn't realize until we got back to the hotel that we were charged $8 for them, which was a bit disappointing. That said, the tots were tasty (just eat them quickly because they cool off fast!). His eggs were cooked perfectly, but the $3.50 upcharge to add blueberries to the pancakes felt steep, and the bacon was mostly fat and a bit overcooked. I ordered the Huevos Rancheros with poached eggs, and the eggs were absolutely perfect. The dish was bursting with flavor. My only critique was that the beans were a bit too liquid-heavy, which made the tortilla very soggy, I couldn't finish as much as I would've liked because of that. The Bloody Marys, though? So good. Highly recommend! We both loved them. Our server was pleasant and friendly. Oh and there was a Char Man hot sauce on the table that was EPIC! Overall, we would definitely come back, we'd just try a few different menu items next time... except for the Bloody Marys. Those are a repeat order for sure.
