A bit hidden. Plenty of parking. Quiet Wednesday night but still busy. Did not wait long to be seated. Waiter was welcoming. Italian restaurant. Food was great, better compared to Olive Garden. Affordable. Restroom was clean. read more

got catering from here and everything was very bland. we ordered two caesar salads, 4 trays of garlic bread, and individual pans of the alfredo fettuccini, pesto rigatoni, bolognese, and chicken vodka. the best pasta was the chicken vodka, and everything else had no flavor. the most disappointing was the garlic bread, it just tastes like salt, no hint of butter or garlic. read more

Found this place when looking for parking. Reviews looked good so I'd thought that I'd give this place a chance. I'd describe this as a casual Italian sit down place. The furniture and decor were very tasteful. Ordered a philly steak sandwich for dining in. The staff were friendly and attentive. They even offered water since I didn't have anything to drink. The sandwich was very good. The French hoagie roll was well toasted with a soft interior. The fatty shaved steak did not feel heavy at all. It was balanced out by the peppers, onions and cheese. Overall, I'd come back for the lunch special whenever I'm in the area. The lunch special includes a selection from a list of sandwiches and pastas, and comes with a salad or soup and a small drink at a discounted price. read more

I cut a piece off before taking the picture. The calzones are cooked to order (8 minutes) and are huge. This is one of the best deals around for $11. read more

We had Borja's Italian catering for lunch today. The two salads were fresh and good. I like the balsamic dressing. We also had the meatballs, tortellini, lasagna with meat, eggplant lasagna, and tons of garlic bread. Everything was good. read more

Over all food was ok. I did get it delivered so I'm not sure if it is best when you eat it there. The pizza was good, but the dough was a little undercooked. The wings had great flavor but I asked for them to be extra crispy and they were not. Overall it was good and I would probably come back to try them at the location instead of delivery read more

I've been coming to Borja's for about three years now. I have Doordashed and dined in and have never had a bad experience with this restaurant. The owners are really sweet and attentive to the customers inside. The food is always very flavorful and amazing! Definitely my favorite Italian food in Irvine, especially the vodka pasta and meatball sandwich! They also have an amazing lunch special that comes with an entrée, salad/soup, and a drink for $16! read more

This place had great Italian food. Its in a business park that is empty in evening but this place is worth finding.

Overall, my family likes the food here but there is room for improvement. When we arrived we were concerned that it was closed because no one was there. Everyone who came in picked up their food then left so this place is known for pickup and delivery and not sit down dining. Clean restaurant and bathroom. pizza - good but dough was a bit tough and dense. pricey for the size. spaghetti- slightly too tangy but edible. consider adding basil or garlic or onions. free cheesy bread- hard and stale (sprinkle water and reheat to soften the bread.) service - friendly and attentive vegetarian - not a lot of healthy options but there was pizza and fried eggplant and spaghetti. fried breaded eggplant got soggy after awhile and didn't have much flavor. Please ask if people want cheese on top or not in case some people don't want cheese. The menu didn't specify the list of ingredients so people with allergies will need to be aware of this. read more

This place ALWAYS forgets to add the soda to my doordash order but still charges me. I called after the third time ordering from here, where they've forgotten my drink and instead of apologizing they blamed the dasher. So I called the dasher and physically went to the dashers car where they had no drink. In the photo taken of the order at the restaurant there is NO DRINK. Three dashers, same story, their lack of accountability is insane. Staff needs to do better, the easiest part is putting the soda in the same bag. But 3 times now? read more

My pineapple pizza was so good but the medium was too much for me to finish in one sitting. They're generous with their RANCH as well. The cheese tortellini tasted much much better than the fettuccine alfredo. The quality of the tortellini was well done and so was the sauce. Staff was friendly and didn't waste any time in getting our orders out. read more

I don't recommend eating here. There's nothing about this place that feels remotely Italian. The food is bland and tasteless, and the owner is rude and unfriendly. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

This place was yummy! It's located in an industrial park but the service was super kind and we enjoyed our meal. We shared the Caesar salad. Had a ton of croutons and Parmesan cheese but easily removable if you get the dressing on the side - or enjoy it fully loaded if that's your jam. I had the stuffed shells and my daughter had the ravioli. It was located nearby where we were staying. Driving up we were skeptical but it was busy - people eating there and uber eats pickups. We'd go back! Prices were very reasonable too. Oh, they had this delicious tomato bread as a side. Great for dipping in the sauces. read more

Delicious! Great food, great prices, and quick, friendly service. We'll be back for sure!

Ambience is comfy. We've been here 3x now since we've found it, it's a staple, we've came here during closing before 10pm when we're craving pasta, always comes with a garlic bread and we ordered for pick up only through call/doordash when they have a deal, though I'd recommend calling in, haven't dined in the place yet but looking forward to when we'll be around the area during day time. It's all indoor dining and heard they might get their alcohol license. Caesar is nice and accommodating and the other workers too. 10/10 for the food, the pics don't give it justice since it's been 4 hours since we got the food and just about to have it although the flavor never disappoints. Would recommend this place read more

I work nearby and can always rely on getting a quality lunch meal here. I love the Cheesesteak Sandwich and the Greek Salad! Staff are lovely and very attentive. Definitely my go-to lunch spot now :) read more

I ordered from here often. I guess the name recently changed, but the food still seems good. It's not always my favorite because I can't customize some of their food options, example no cheese on their salad, but their food is generally good and I love when they have a deal on GrubHub! I would order with a deal! read more

Had delivery. Food was decent portions - all around. I had Greek salad, chicken parm, side of sausage. Overall - give it a 3.8 maybe 4 stars - solely because the sauce was burned ..... you can definitely tell. Absent that - it would be a 4.2-4.3 read more

This place is open on weekends in an industrial complex. It must be good, how else would they stay in business?!?!? On Sunday, there is parking everywhere. No alcohol is served here. When ordering, we asked what was good and the woman said, with conviction, 'Everything'. We ordered the Angel a La Checa (with chicken added) and Chicken Parmesan. Bread comes with the meal. Both are very good and excellent for the price. We used our Entertainment Book which had a buy one, get one coupon. With the Entertainment Book and Yelp, you can find hidden treasures and this is one of them. read more

A hidden gem nestled in a business plaza in Irvine. My friend introduced the place to me and it might be a new favorite spot. We went around 5pm and there wasn't a lot of people in there because they mostly do to-go orders. The owner helped us out and was very on top of it. He gave us our waters and bread right as we sat down. I ordered the Chicken Carbonara and it genuinely hit the spot. The portion was big, at a great price. Not to mention that it tasted amazing and the sauce was super creamy. Will definitely come back again! read more

We usually get our coffee run from here at work. This was my first time having to do the run. The girl asked me to hold on not a big deal literally ignored me the whole time not wanting to help me. A guy popped in from the back. Super helpful took my order their coffee is awesome by the way. I was happy. The girls getting my coffee ready to give to me she says they don't have trays I laugh because I seen the trays I just say ok I'm going to struggle carrying all 3 of them.The guy comes back and gives me a tray saying they do have them. Idk what the girls deal was but wasn't feeling welcomed by her or like I wanted to go back from her vibe and service. I laughed it off. The guy was super helpful and their pizza and coffee is always great when we get it. We usually get our coffee run from here at work. This was my first time having to do the run.

First time here and pleasantly surprised. Hidden behind John Wayne Airport, this place is definitely one you find based on Yelp recommendations for restaurants open at 10PM. Upon arrival, we were greeted by happy staff and a clean restaurant. Our meatball sandwich was flavorful and the sauce was perfect, not sour/bitter or overly sweet. Excited to return to try other items on the menu. read more

I called and talked to Cesar about my delivery order and he was SUPER kind and helpful with everything. Genuinely above and beyond! I got the spicy vodka and french fries and he was able to tell me about the food and make sure everything was the way I liked it! Cant wait to come in person and see the restaurant read more

This is genuinely one of the best italian food i've ever had and at the most affordable price, especially in Irvine! The service was amazing and our server was very attentive and kind.

I always grab lunch from here because they have awesome lunch specials for 14.99! I think theres like 14 or 15 lunch special choices. With your selection, the dish comes a choice of soup or salad, and a drink. My current go-to lunch fav is the Penne with Vodka sauce. It's yummy. If you pay with cash, they also give you a discount! read more

A hole in a wall place in a Industrial/Business area in Irvine. They recently opened, and I'm so glad they did. My husband and I were craving a simple Italian place (not a restaurant), and we found it! They have great reasonable prices with add-ons. The menu is big, giving plenty of choices to choose from. Service was friendly and helpful, family owned! Atmosphere inside: relaxed with open window concept, plenty of seating inside just need to order in the front. They also have a tv and fireplace in one area. The food we chose was delicious and plenty. Both our pastas came with garlic bread. As an appetizer, we got pepperoni cheese rolls, which was pretty much mini pizza bites. I saw someone get a SALAD, and it looked huge, definitely big enough for 2 people to share. We will be coming back to try the pizzas next! read more

This place is a little hidden gem in Irvine. I've only ordered via DoorDash, so can't speak to the inside of the store. I have ordered 2x and every time the food has come quickly, is packaged really well and always hot and fresh. As far as apps go, really love the garlic bread--reminds me of good ol' garlic bread your Mom would make at home. We also ordered mozzarella sticks, which tasted good but seemed they were probably previously frozen. I opted for the tortellini with added chicken and Alfredo. To be honest, the chicken was a little bland and the Alfredo sauce was very runny--almost liquid consistency; the flavor was good though. I would try other things at this place and probably order again. Def a more causal/fast food Italian joint, but overall tasty! read more

We placed a to go order with Uber Eats. The restaurant is in a quiet industrial area near our church. They seem to get a lot of to go orders and there really weren't any customers inside, but the staff was helpful and friendly. We ordered a Calzone, Cobb Salad and Breadsticks. Everything was fresh and delicious. My son loved his cheesy calzone. My salad was fresh and flavorful. I'm so glad we gave this place a try. read more

Really good italian food. Usually, get takeout pasta from here with creamy marinara and meatballs. Overall, it's flavorful and filling and reminds me of Mama Dees in Newport but with no wait and cheaper prices. I would highly recommend it. read more

This has been me and my boyfriend's go-to favorite Italian restaurant ever since we discovered it! The food is consistent and great everytime!! We always get the special and also the build-your-own pasta for the creamy marinara, which I think is the star of the show. We also love the house-made marinara sauce and meatballs!! Its quite affordable too, and the owners are super nice whenever we see him :) We are also happy to support a small business and highly recommend trying this place out for good affordably priced Italian food!! read more

First time visit, location is hidden away in an industrial park and it's open late , so we found it Great food , great service , nice ownership Started with some garlic bread , could have been little bit more crispy but also had side of meatballs that was excellent . Loved the sauce Wife had a salad with lots of cold cuts and cheese , she loved it Add some calamari rings that was excellent I had one of the best pizza I ever had in California Thin crust , xtra cheese , onion and ground beef It was great If you can find this place in Irvine in the industrial park , it's worth it Plenty of parking too read more

This place never disappoints! It's by my office so I go pretty often and everything I've had is so good (pizza, pastas, eggplant sandwich), great price, and ready quickly. They do lunch specials for like $17 with tax and it's more than enough for one meal, and all the options are so good. We've also done office catering size lunches from here and the portions and price are great compared to other places, and ready on time. It's definitely a common request for our office lunches. I'm pretty sure it's also locally owned and the couple that own it are the ones who are working when I pick up orders, and are super nice. read more
