    Breakfast Combo pancakes
    Bri Y.

    Came to this place on a whim for breakfast and I must say I was impressed. The place itself is not very modern or flashy but the food is good. I had the Breakfast Combo and it was more than I could finish. I am very particular about pancakes so I was eager to try these. They were fluffy without being spongey which I liked. The hashbrowns were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My daughter had the French Toast and she loved it. It doesn't taste like it just covered in cinnamon. Its more like a cinnamon sugar. Like a churro. Its addictive to say the least. My husband had the breakfast tacos and he was sold from the first bite. He asked for more sauce because it was that good. The staff seems to be family so that's nice. We enjoy a mom and pop over a chain. I can see this being a place we come back to.

    French Toast Breakfast

    This is one of those gems that you just happen to run across and wonder how you didn't know about it. I came here with friends for breakfast one morning after they happened to find it during a search for a new breakfast spot. We were promptly and warmly welcomed in and seated immediately. The breakfast menu had a lot of options with a good variety of food from traditional American food to Mexican food to Guatemalan food. I stuck with the traditional French toast breakfast this time, but I will definitely be back and trying more. All of our food was cooked perfectly and was delicious. The staff was very attentive. The prices were decent. Overall, I was very impressed with this cafe. This will probably be my new go to breakfast place.

    We stopped over here to eat breakfast before going to the San Diego Zoo. Lots of free parking since it's in a lot. The service was very friendly. I really liked the decor inside the restaurant. They have a big menu. I got the Guatemalan breakfast chiroy combination. Huge portion size. It comes with churrasco, longaniza, chorizo, beans, eggs, and fried plantains. Everything was very good. No complaints. The prices were very fair. I would recommend not ordering the traditional American breakfast items. You can get that anywhere. Try something new.

    My Mom suggested we try this place as we heard it was really good. They have a wide range of food that includes American and Mexican. Upon walking in the door, I noticed the restaurant was clean and orderly. We were seated at a comfortable booth and greeted by the owner, and he showed us to our table. The nice waitress came over and took our order. I was really overwhelmed because there were so many dishes on the menu to choose from. I decided to get a Pollo Asado or they call it Chicken burrito with sliced avocado on the side. My Mom ordered Pozole. The chips came with our meals with a hot sauce that was so flavorful and also an Avicado salsa I think it is. So delicious I need the recipe! Our food was served shortly after. The meals were ample in size and that first bite was perfection! The food is homemade with love, flavor, and care. I told the owner how much we loved the food. He stopped by our table to talk to us a little bit. He was so friendly and warm hearted. This place feels like a place that people go to for "COMFORT FOOD" with a clean, orderly, and pleasant environment. I love how they also praise God with some photos on the wall. They also had other beautiful photos up. And, if you love to watch anything good on the big screen, they have it there for you also! This is a place I highly recommend for a great, pleasant, friendly, and awesome-tasting food experience! Go experience "Chiroys" today!

    Guatemalan combination
    A L.

    Everything about our breakfast here was wonderful! The Guatemalan combination breakfast and huevos rancheros were both excellent, and the café de olla was the perfect cozy touch. The staff were attentive and super kind. There was a very tiny mishap with one dish (something that can happen anywhere), but the team handled it promptly and professionally. We left very happy and will definitely be back! So glad there's a legit breakfast spot close to home finally!

    Chiroy offers Mexican American and Guatemalan (Chapín) cuisine. I come in for breakfast to sit and enjoy the calm yet vibrant vibe. The menudo is to die for. I typically don't finish it in 1 sitting so I order it in a to go bowl. The grilled food is the best if you ask me. I haven't found another restaurant that offers Guatemalan food but the food reminds me of the time I spent traveling Guatemala.

    I had a nice breakfast here at Chiroy's Cafe new location in Spring Valley or Casa de Oro in Campo Road. I had the trio of breakfast tacos plate. You get to choose your protein for your tacos and sides for $12.99 plus tax, and $3.49 plus tax for regular coffee. I had hash browns and black beans on the side. The breakfast tacos came generously filled with scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, and hash browns. I wish I would of known that the tacos came with hash browns in them, because I would not of had them as my side. At any rate, the tacos were tasty. The eggs were well scrambled and the bacon was really good. The hash browns were good but they could of been crispier. They need that nice crunch, the ones in the tacos and on the plate. Also, I thought the breakfast tacos would of been better served if they chopped the bacon up and mixed it with the eggs, and garnish the tacos with either some chopped green onions or a touch of pico de gallo. Just a touch. The black beans were of the refried variety. I thought they were whole when I ordered them, but nevertheless, they were tasty and creamy. Service was very pleasant. You order at the table, but then pay at the counter. There's plenty of inside seating. There's also a bar, where they serve eats, beer, and wine.

    Another great breakfast at Chiroy's! If you've not been in a while, you need to come and check out the renovations! They removed the interior wall to open up the space and the bar area is so open and airy now. And Chiroy's now serves beer and wine. Today, we sat on the front patio to enjoy the view of Mt Helix. We ordered huevos rancheros with flour tortillas and a veggie omelette with fresh fruit and homemade English muffin and decaf coffee. I wish they offered a decaf version of their cafe olla--I did try their caffeinated cafe olla but I can't handle caffeine any more Martin Chiroy is the owner and he kept my coffee and water filled and served our food promptly. Chiroy's opened in November 2024. He has invested in our community--let's each of us invest in this small business and help it thrive!

    Everything is perfect this time the hashbrowns are perfect. The hot cakes are hot. The coffee is still good as is the breakfast meats and the customer service is a step above.

    Yummmyyy. The salsa was so good!

    New breakfast spot in Spring Valley. I love how we were greeted right when we walked in and the service was very friendly. The breakfast was simple, fresh & homey & that's what I enjoyed about it the most. My husband liked the fresh salsa that came out with his dish. Everything was really great. We will def be back.

I…read moreordered the chicken and pancakes which all together I rate a 6.5/10. - Comes with 3 THICK pancakes and three southern fried chicken tender with "hot" syrup. - Syrup tasted like regular syrup mixed with hot sauce which I wasn't really feelin. I think it would've been better with hot honey and syrup on the side? - Again these pancakes are THICK and flavor was "meh" so you prolly won't even finish them all and you might need to ask for extra syrup (like myself) I honestly think the chicken and French toast would've been a better option and I might ask for that accommodation next time if I order the same thing (I prolly won't, I like to try new tings hehe). Overall pretty restaurant with great natural Lighting but it still needs to prove itself in the flavor department.

    I was surprised by this spot!…read more Part of the Toasted Gastrobrunch group, Toasted has several other locations, including those in Imperial Beach, Oceanside and Del Mar. This particular location is a stylish, full-service restaurant. And, overall, the restaurant prices itself on its modern take on breakfast, brunch and dinner. Some of their go to items are Eggs in Purgatory, the Smoked Salmon Toast, the Stuffed French Toast and their mimosas, which change regularly (and you can get the bottomless mimosas for $25). I am a super fan of their potatoes, Eggs Benedict options and gently cooked eggs. The ambiance is cozy and cool, and even though it gets very busy, it doesn't feel crammed or overwhelming. I appreciate the attentiveness and thoughtfulness of the team here. They appear to have planned comfort over everything, because even the tables are crammed next to one another too close that you can hear your neighbor breathing. Plus, the space is bright and open with a clean and modern feel. I love that the large windows let in plenty of natural light and, when it is cooler out, a lovely breeze. Given the food, ambiance and service, it really is a perfect spot for brunch. Other food options include (and are sometimes on rotation): roasted salmon, duck tacos, short ribs, burgers and wood-fired pizzas. They also serve wine, beer and craft cocktails. They also have lots of vegetarian and gluten-free options.

    Went in today for brunch with the family, and the ambience was really nice. We got seated right…read moreaway for a table of four, and the interior looked very beautiful. We ordered the Nutella pancakes, steak and eggs, a steak sandwich, and Chilaquiles. The Nutella pancakes were far more basic than expected for a $17 plate. They basically just slapped on some Nutella, threw some berries on it, and called it a day. The pancakes themselves were kind of hard to cut through, weren't fluffy at all - I would've rather spent less at IHOP. The steak and eggs were very underwhelming - when I think of steak and eggs, I think of a real good piece of steak, not a thin piece of Carne Asada that comes super chewy. That entire plate was also underseasoned. The steak sandwich was also pretty underwhelming, and wasn't rated very high by Dad. Mom thought that Chilaquiles were all right. I was also pretty bamboozled by the side of Parmesan truffle potatoes. I ordered them thinking that they were going to have truffle in it like advertised, but they were the same potatoes as the side that already came with the steak and eggs, just with some arugula and a little bit of cheese on top. Was pretty disappointed about that and it felt like it was just a way for them to make it seem like it was more than it is. Rating this place 2 stars because the service was pretty good - the waiter was attentive for the most part, but probably wouldn't come back because the food was very lackluster, and definitely overpriced for what we got.
