El Gran Yo Soy is a pretty unassuming place. I'd call it a hole in the wall. Not that it's a bad thing, quite the opposite. I favor that type of setting, and this place did not disappoint. I went with the El Gran Yo Soy omelette and my girlfriend went for some chilaquiles con huevo and also requested that they add chicken as a topping; they happily obliged. Both dishes were excellent, and I would totally have the omelette again. All the flavors were balanced and the chipotle sauce was a nice touch to tie it all together. The chilaquiles were crispy and flavorful, with a good amount of heat. Service was great! The waitstaff did a good job keeping my coffee and our waters topped off and were overall very attentive.

We ordered: *Tijuana Panther: I had this on a corn tortilla. It felt dry and lacked flavor. *Chips & Queso: Pretty solid, and the small order came with a generous portion. *Crispy Potatoes: The first batch was soft instead of crispy. We mentioned it to the staff, and they made a fresh batch right away, which was delicious. The sauce it comes with is great too. They have a self-serve area for water and condiments. You bus your own table, but the employees still went above and beyond. A couple of them checked in on us while we were eating. When I asked for a to-go box, they packed a bag with chips on top of the containers without me asking. Really thoughtful. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and the space feels open and bright. Overall, the employees were phenomenal, and service was quick. The food, though, is just okay.

Although it's not the comfiest place to kick it for three and a half hours for a race, it was a really good experience, and the owner, Karen, is an AMAZING mixologist!!! There were six of us and we sat at the bar facing one TV she set up for us to watch the race on. There was one other group on the other side of the bar, about eight of them, I think. Everyone was eating and drinking and I, being the DD, was only allowed to have one drink per hour BOO. But, I made the most of it. Karen REALLY knows how to make an old fashioned and when I asked her to make one with her best Mezcal, she did and it was FABULOUS. My bestie, wanted a Mezcal cocktail, too and Karen made her one with apple and jalapeno that she loved. The boys drank giant beers. We also tried out some nachos, wings and my dad got a baked potato. The potato was the only disappointment in the experience because it was on the hard side, but otherwise, we had a fun afternoon and really enjoyed getting to know Karen. Its right next to Puerto Nuevo, so a nice place to have cocktails before your lobster dinner and ask Karen to make you something delicious. She really is awesome. Also, if you have some sports memorabilia you're letting go of, a donation helps this SPorts bar have a lot of fun decor to look at. They even have a front bumper of one of Joey Logano NASCAR Fords. Will DEFINITELY return and totally recommended.

The menu was varied and the food was really good. The Thai chicken burrito was large and very tasty. My husband had a combination plate and said it was the best enchilada he's ever had! Complimentary chips-n-salsa was provided with not one, but two different salsas! The service was slightly slow, but friendly. The menus were a little sticky and there was food splashed on the wall at the table and a used napkin under one table. They seem to have a loyal local following of regulars, particularly an older crowd. We drove 15 miles to exclusively visit this restaurant as it had been on our list for a while. We would return if we were in the area. If their service was a little quicker and the cleaning was a little more sparkling, they'd get the extra star. (April 2026). Helpful?
