    Al pastor chilequiles
    Kat S.

    This is my 4th time eating here, and first time I strayed from the chilequiles. Today was my sons 12th grade graduation!!! We've been wanting to bring him here. This restaurant is ran so perfectly. Everyone is on top of their jobs and make it all look so easy. Friendly. The food is amazing. So today my daughter tryed the Mimosa flight, and I the passion fruit mimosa single. So good but I liked the lavender lemon best. I tryed the B.E.S.T Breakfast sandwich with potatoes. Bacon.Eggs.Spinach.Tomatoes The sandwich is really tasty and probably really the best breakfast sandwich ive had. My fiance had the chicken basil bowl, very good! The chicken was very flavorful. He really liked it. My son had al pastor Chilequiles, he loved it. My daughter had the Juevos rancheros, it had the wrong eggs, she wanted scrambled. Since they remembered that she cant eat avacado she was satisfied, and enjoyed her breakfast. She said it was very good. We all shared the Tres Leche pancakes. Omg! Heaven. This restaurant is one of our favorite go tos. If you dont try it, your missing out! Go there. Lol.

    We had the Chilaquiles and Angus Burger on Brioche Bun and both were extraordinary! They were cooked to perfection, very fresh, and had wonderful flavor! Our server, Gil was so warm, kind, efficient, and personable! He went the extra mile to take pictures of us! We truly appreciated him.

    It's really the killer!!! Their Chilaquiles and biscuit gravy were delish!! Beware of the red salsa though, it was sooo spicy‍ don't you worry, you can choose other kinds of salsa. I also ordered Cafe Olla and it was amazing. Our waitress was super nice.

    This place is pretty good. A hidden gem if you will. The yelp reviews speak for themselves. I've been here 3 times before. I've gotten the chillakiles, churro French toast and the breakfast salad. The menu and drinks are great everything looks amazing. Went again today and got the chilakiles. They were good but I will warn the chips get soggy. And the egg on mine today was not cooked at all , the white part was still slimy . The chicken wasn't as good as before when I got it the last time. The previous times I've been here I've been super happy. Today not as much but it was still good and I'll still give them a try another time. Maybe it was an off day. Also the server came by nonstop until we got our food. Then we never saw him again and had to wait forever to get a check. I'm also a bit bummed because the breakfast salad I got last time was one of the best things I've ever eaten. So so good and unique And they took it off the menu For some reason. It's always insanely full and busy in there so be prepared to wait if you go! Also they ask you only stay for 90mins, no longer cause they need the tables. The prices are definitely high but it's good food and the portions are huge. I'd definitely come back To try more off the menu. The lunch looks great as well.

    Second time was a charm! Got the chilaquiles with verde, and it was scrumptious! My mate got fish tacos and was blown away! Mexican hot chocolate was heavenly! We watched as the kind hostess placed a lady, her blind companion and his seeing eye dog in a perfect spot so all three were comfortable. The staff makes this place the best!

    Food is amazing, I have visited this place on multiple occasions and have been delighted every time. The chilaquiles are a must "green salsa" those are my favorite For coffee you should try the Cafe de hoya... their other coffees are also really good but the Cafe de Hoya is another world. Service is excellent and I love that they always are so cheerful Ambiance is casual but dressy I give this place a 5 star rating on all counts.

    Chilaquiles w over easy eggs and roja sauce and smoked pork chop

    Delicious food and prompt, friendly service. The place is packed for breakfast/brunch and they hustle! Our party of 4 arrived at 10am on a Sunday and joined the waiting list. They have a great website that keeps you posted on wait times. Accurate w 30 min estimate. Upon our being seated, our server showed up within a few minutes and took our drink and food orders. Drinks showed up within minutes and food in another 10-15 min. We ordered: chilaquiles w smoked pork chop, chorizon con papas, churro French toast w eggs and bacon, and avocado and bacon benny. Food arrived hot with generous portions. Eggs ordered over easy were still gooey. All were happy and digging in. House unsweetened mango ice tea and mocha w Ghiradelli chocolate were standouts. They even gave us more coffee and iced tea to go. We'll be back for more breakfast as well as trying their lunch. Yay for small businesses that continue to deliver and in a prompt, friendly atmosphere!

    SEP2025 Cute spot. I was surprised as we hadn't ventured here yet though we're always in this area. We decided to stop in for brunch. Service checked in frequently and refilled water also. They answered any questions we had. It was also quite busy so it was nice how much they stopped by. My partner ordered the fish sandwich, and I got a latte and the chilaquiles with chicken added. Everything was cooked really well. Partner liked how fresh the fish tasted and the light crunch. The chilaquiles was simple and rich. The chicken flavorful and not dry in the least. The red sauce really pulled everything together. The tortilla underneath soaked up a lot and made for a great medium. I think the only thing I'd want is a bit more crunch somewhere. We'll definitely have to stop by again. This was a nice discovery for the brunch scene in the area.

    Chilaquiles Morita
    Belen A.

    [Español al final] The food was delicious. We ordered the Chilaquiles with Morita sauce and the breakfast burger. The portion sizes were solid. The burger was totally worth it and had a lot of bacon which we liked. The chilaquiles were accompanied with a lot of toppings which made the dish not only look aesthetic but also be very filling. Service kindly switched out our water with cucumber with just plain water when I asked. Very good and fast service (we came on a Friday at around 10:30am). The ambiance was nice as well. A lot of seating, good music, and clean spaces. La comida estuvo deliciosa. Pedimos los chilaquiles con salsa morita y la hamburguesa de desayuno. Las porciones estaban bastante bien servidas. La hamburguesa sí valió la pena porque traía bastante tocino, lo cual nos encantó. Los chilaquiles venían acompañados de muchos toppings, lo que hizo que el platillo no solo se viera muy bonito, sino que también llenara bastante. Además, cuando pedí que nos cambiaran el agua de pepino por agua natural, el servicio lo hizo muy amablemente. El servicio fue muy bueno y rápido (fuimos un viernes como a las 10:30 a. m.). El ambiente también estaba muy agradable: hay bastante lugar para sentarse, buena música y todo estaba limpio.

    Their amazing,  Churro French Toast!!!!!!
    Joe M.

    Amazing breakfast spot..... Always hopping busy, so be prepared to wait! It's worth it, very attentive staff as well plus a great atmosphere!!! Get the crazy good french toast, Cuzz if Ya don't, you've definitely missed out!!!!!!?!?!?!

    I'll start with all the positives of my experience with Chila killer: Pros: Great service and really friendly and attentive. Busy but moves fast. Food portions are hearty and tasty. Coffee is strong but really tasty! An extra pro for the cute lil bolillos. Con: The prices are crazzzzyy in my opinion. They nickel and dimed for everything. Steak on your chilaquiles extra $7. I asked for asada and was expecting the actual flat steak not this but it's fine. Almond milk, another charge. Flavoring for coffee, another charge. I literally looked at the receipt and was like geeez I'm surprised they didn't charge me for the water. In summary, is chila killer worth it? I'd say sure if I'm in the area and want Mexican food but come prepared to pay a pretty penny. I get inflation is crazy but I still think prices were insane for no reason.

    Met one of my sisters here for brunch, hadn't seen her in a while. I believe it was both of our first time there. I was conflicted on what to drink because they had so many amazing drinks both non-alcoholic and alcoholic. Our waitress was awesome! She was like a whole vibe, very on top of it, very friendly, very funny. I should've got her name for this review. You know when you're out having a girls brunch and your waitresses is awesome too it just makes the whole event perfect . The food was delicious the drinks were fabulous! Nothing fancy about the restaurant very basic but has big nice widows and I love to people watch! I definitely will be back here.

    Delicious brunch with a low key vibe. Service was prompt and personable. Pretty full for a Thursday morning. We had the chilaquiles and the huevos rancheros with fried egg like i like it. Good portion sizes. Drinks (mango tajin mimosa and white wine). Will return to try more options!

    I felt the service was good but the prices seemed a little high for what you got. I will go back but not as often because of pricing.

    OK we are from out of the area and we needed a breakfast place and this sounded weird (alcoholic…read moredrinks in the morning?) but it was close. So we gave it a try. I was expecting to feel blah about it. As we went in I saw they named the chef on the outside window, and I thought hmm, interesting. Going in we were greeted by the hostess whose smile was a little too deliberate, maybe it's a required smile enforced by the bosses which can sometimes not be the best feels for the customer. Bosses, please don't do that. But still she was nice and we were seated and helped quickly. They have a great menu with lots of enticing options, it was looking good already. Then we found out they had crab cake eggs benedict! So I skipped out on my other options, pancakes or huevos rancheros, and we split that. The prices seemed kind of high but then where is that not the case these days? Given the feel of the place it seemed fair to me. The food came and it was amazing. Generous amount of crab and it was real crab, with perfect eggs and sauce on a gorgeous english muffin that was... stay with me here I'm not trying to get fancy with prose here, let me just reuse what I said above: amazing. Somehow the muffin was both crisply toasted in butter to a crunch on top (of the muffin), yet amazingly chewy (in a good way) on the bottom. And not soggy, the sauce was well placed on top of the egg above the crab cake. The service was friendly and in all ways perfect. Food came quickly. The place was not noisy or perfumey. My only regret is I can only tell you about that one dish since that's what we shared. I was too full to finish the little smash-grilled baby potato discs so we took some to go. All in all it was fantastic. We will go again next time we are in town. They did try to sell mimosas to us (at 8:30 am lol) but nah we did not go for it.

    I only tried the mimosas. After all the name has mimosa in it. So I was HOPING they made great…read moremimosas. Well the mimosa was SO GOOD! It did not disappoint me at all. It was perfect with the right amount of fizz. My waitress was pleasant and friendly. I loved sitting out on the patio people watching and enjoying the sunshine and scenery. It's a cozy place inside or outside. I definitely will return to try more mimosas on my next visit to California.

    This place was amazing! I got the Harvest Bowl and was blown away. The portions were insane, almost…read moretoo much, but better than having not enough I'd say. The flavor of the curry sauce was addictive. It wasn't spicy, just super flavorful. I ate way more than I I could handle, but that's because it was so insanely good. The vegetables were all cooked properly, to a soft comforting chew, and the rice pulled everything together. 11/10 would highly recommend! My only concern was that I would love to see a vegan option for something with french fries. Other than that this place was a nice gem. The guy working the counter was very friendly and has a vibe that could put anyone in a good mood.

    I had to pick someone up in the shopping center, i was hungry, and i had seen this place advertised…read moresomewhere. It sounded good...smoking bowls. It was late, i guess 45 min before closing. Looking at the menu it all looked great, creative etc. i asked the server shot the food and he said oh everything is made from scratch., etc. we're got two bowls, the dragon bowl and the roast beef bowl to go. We got them home and opened them up. The roast beef bowl was described as being served over a bed of home made mashed potatoes topped with home made gravy and special horseradish sauce. Tasting it, it was a way too salty and the meat was so mushy it blended way too seamlessly with the brown gravy to my taste, ie it was all a mush of sauce over more mushy mashed potato! But i preferred its flavor over the dragon bowl, but definitely did not taste like a home made beef gravy from scratch, it was on the overly thickened by corn starch side, with that fake bouillon taste. Dragon Bowl looks good, topped with crunchy cashews that had slight rancid taste, and fresh green onion. And sadly, the chunks of chicken in it were hard, ie tough, precooked for who-knows-how-long-tasting; old tasting. And the sauce was way too sweet. I was disappointed with the $35 bill. We took the food to go. Once we tasted it at home we basically threw it all in the garbage. What a waste but, yuck. Sorry! Ambiance: The place was empty of patrons, and felt like it was closing now even though they still have 45 min. Our two bowls were ordered were handed to us super fast after ordering, like it took no time to prepare, explaining the poor flavor and quality we experienced, plus look at what others have written about all this premade fast food. I want to give one star, but I'll give 2, in benefit of the doubt they were trying to close early and rushed things vs if it were earlier in evening with more clientele.
