Hash skillet

Broken Yoke, Broke Wallet: $91 for Breakfast? The Good: The customer service was excellent. The staff was friendly, fast, and kept the coffee refills coming without being asked. The Vibe: Nothing spectacular. It's a standard setup with just tables and booths--perfectly fine, but very basic. The Catch: Our breakfast for three people hit $91. The food is decent, but that price point feels way too high for a casual cafe with a simple interior. Bottom Line: Go for the great service, but be prepared for a surprisingly heavy bill.

Smaller side menu $10.95

My girl and I landed famished from our 6 am flight and drove to Chula as this is going to be home for 5 days. Drive to mall and we hit gold when we found this place. Nothing flashy but a delicious easy going menu and super hard working and pleasant staff. Busy but large so ample places for us to sit and even though we were a party of two we got a booth!!!

Chipotle chilaquiles are always good here whenever I come. Would definitely recommend trying them

Remove this from your website if you don't honor it!

This is specifically for Plaza Bonita Broken Yolk Cafe. The food was fine, restaurant looked clean and our server was great. What makes me give only a 3 star rating is their online waitlist. They DO NOT honor it, they don't look at it or have don't have it for their restaurant, according to the hostess. But it's on their website. I put my name on waitlist for 4 people just to be told that. We were on a schedule and had to get going, hence why I put my name on their online waitlist. We waited about 10-15 mins past our scheduled time to be seated. Thankfully we were done and able to make our other commitments, but some may not be so lucky. So just be aware of that. And PB Broke Yolk, TAKE IT OFF YOUR WEBSITE!!

Mimosa Flight

The authentic chilaquiles drew me to the Broken Yolk, but the mimosa flight captured my heart. Sometimes it's hard to decide between orange, strawberry, lemonade, and grapefruit. Why force the decision? Have all four! The chilaquiles were excellent, service was fast and friendly, and the space had a touch of classic dinner vibes.

Incredibly friendly staff and multilingual! They were able to accommodate us plus our small pet last minute which we deeply appreciated. Great food!! Everything seemed fresh, and the prices are a smidge high but it is worth it for the convenience. There is both indoor and outdoor seating depending on what the weather is and what mood you're in! The bathroom is attached but located on the outdoor seating area.

The Manager's apology
Amara

A coworker and I took one of our favorite guests out to breakfast. We bragged out how she was going to LOVE broken yolk! The service , food and the mimosa flights were top tier. We arrived to the front and interrupted 4 hostesses gossiping and lounging in the front of the register. We asked if we would be able to be seated and we received 'eye rolls'. We then get escorted to our booth and were patiently waiting to order. We start by ordering coffee and getting 2 mimosa flights. While waiting patiently , a server had dropped their stack of food right in front of our booth. Broken glass shattered and flew and hit not only myself but the Birthday Girl. None of the staff asked if we were okay and just went on with their tasks. Birthday found bits of broken glass in her coffee so she asked if she could swap it for a new glass. We then move on to the food. We ordered an omelette , a New York steak and an All American Breakfast. We also ordered crepes to share. We received our food 25 mins later and the food was extremely COLD and some of the orders were completely wrong. We do not blame the server as she was sweet and helpful. After we had finished we requested to speak to the manager. We explained our concerns and informed Douglas the manager of our terrible experience and especially getting hit with broken glass. Douglas shows his concern by giving us a measly 15% discount.. definitely a slap in the face. We will definitely not be going back to Broken Yolk at Plaza Bonita... The Rancho location and the Santee locations have always been good to us and wish we would have taken the birthday girl to those locations instead of the run down, disrespectful place as the Plaza Bonita location. Plaza Bonita, do better. Be better. This experience was definitely NOT it. I'm sorry for our Birthday girl for the terrible 1st time experience.

Easter breakfast at Broken Yolk, inside Plaza Bonita mall. arrived just in time before the crowd started to come at 8:15ish . The service was ok. our order took a while to arrive, even though the place only had a few tables occupied when we got there. Our server was considerate, he even closed the double door multiple times that opens to the patio. When the other staff members just passed by the door. It was a bit chilly, had to keep my jacket on. Our server is good, checked up on us quite a few times, refilled that coffee cup. Although, forgot my son's ice coffee, but we managed to flag him down. Given at that time, the place was already full. ambiance was casual dining with indoor and outdoor seating, with booths and standard seating. Place also has high chair and table that can accommodate wheelchair. They also can easily accommodate large parties. When we got our bill, service fee/ surcharge were already included. The restroom was clean, but I'm not sure what it is with the seat covers. They're so thin that they're almost useless. Ended up using more them, defeats the purpose of saving / using less of it, less likely to cause problem like a clogged up toilet. As for the food, it was "okay." Nothing really stood out. Lots of parking availability, since the mall was still closed. Xtra treat today: right across the parking lot, you'll find the mobile blood bank parked in front of the donation container. If you can donate blood, they're handling Broken Yolk gift cards and long-sleeved shirts. Isn't that amazing? But the main thing is with that, you'll be helping people that are needing blood for medical reasons.

Mimosa flight

*service was great *indoor and outdoor seating * casual ambiance * great for large parties We made reservations ahead of time we had a party of 24. Henry took care of us! Was impressed with the way he took the order he had a system in place for big groups like ours. Everyone received their food promptly and in the order, we placed it with no confusion about whose plate was whose. The mimosa and bloody Mary flights are fun love this option because you can taste all the different flavors they have. Bloody Marys were strong, man oh man the spicy one was spicy! The mimosas were perfect a good portion of champagne and juice. I had the ranchero skillet, Was a tasteful big portion for me, I only ate half but for sure a sharable plate! Was happy with the service and food I ate.

This was supposed to be a nice brunch meet up, but immediately became a super disappointment. No toilet paper in the bathroom, the server skipped over some of us when it came to ordering drink and the food and drinks were all together disappointing. We ate the food or as much of it as we could tolerate. We ended up getting champagne to make up for the drinks. I had a stack of pancakes w/eggs and bacon and I was pretty average. I'm not sure if it was an off day but I am not sure I will be back.

Not that busy.

This place is such a vibe! Absolutely loved walking in this place in National City and seeing how…read moredecorated the place is with art. The staff was nice and friendly. The biggest flex of this place is the fact they had a dj playing music the moment you step in. I already knew this place was going to be fun because of this reason. Chili Crisp Bacon, Egg, and Cheese (4/5) Nice and light for a breakfast option. Not too heavy, which I appreciate. The sauce adds a nice flavor profile to the sandwich. I just wish the sandwich had a little more of the chili crisp so I could taste it in the meal and really bring the whole thing together. But still a great option and tasted delicious regardless. Tater Tots (5/5) Tasty and crunchy. There's a specific seasoning to the tater tots that really elevates the flavor, but i can't pinpoint. Really pairs well with any dish that you order from this place, really! Highly recommend and would come back the next time I'm in the SD area!

Came in for a matcha and said they were having a pop up with 3 options (all included cold foam) -…read morebut they didn't have any cold foam left and only served it iced with oat milk. Despite no cold foam it was still over 8$ plus tip ended up being 10$ for a small matcha. It was delicious, but the whole cup was filled with ice i barely had much to drink. IMO no matcha is worth 10$, especially when you run out of a main ingredient (cold foam) and barely any drink. I typically like to get hot drinks for this reason, unfortunately that wasn't an option Probably won't be back, way overpriced for what you get
