    Pastry & Coffee deal for 8.99
    Chad F.

    Karen's Kitchen is like a home away from home.. great place, where you can come in, sit down, enjoy smiles and a large array of American and Hispanic breakfasts and lunches. One of my favorites is their Breakfast Burritos, but their Omelettes are also killer. Parking is always available, and you can usually find seating right when you walk in. Definitely a house favorite! Honorable mentions are their Navy Bean Soups, and their Hobo Eggs Don't forget to tip, the service is exceptional!!

    Banana Pecan pancake combo
    Jennifer D.

    First time coming here and it was really good! My husband got the Karen's berry french toast combo and I got the banana pecan pancakes combo and they were both delicious. The service was nice, staff were very friendly and helpful. The food came out pretty fast, but we did go on a Tuesday morning. The restaurant itself was giving grandparents kitchen vibes, and we loved it. Will definitely come again.

    New York Steak and Eggs

    I basically come here once a week now. Happy every time! Everything I've tried is delicious. Lunch and breakfast options something for everyone in the family

    Eggs Benedict

    Customer service is amazing every time I visit. They promptly welcome you and you feel right at home. The food options are endless and are very accommodating with any request. Highly recommended!

    Karen's omelette , chicken fried steak and kids pancake

    Karen's omelette , chicken fried steak and kids pancake everything was flavorful and our waitress friendly and service was quick!

    Bill for family of 5!!

    Gratuity added on 5 people! Overpriced!!! I recently visited this restaurant with my family of five. We ordered four entrées and just 2 coffees and 3 waters, and the bill came out to over $100--which felt extremely overpriced for what we received. The food was decent and the service was good, but not enough to justify that kind of total. What really surprised me was that a tip was automatically added to the bill. While I understand tipping is customary, automatically adding it in this type of casual dining restaurant felt unnecessary!!I usually tip for good service, but I prefer to decide the amount myself. Overall, the combination of high prices and the added tip made the experience feel like poor value. Sadly, it's enough for us to decide not to return.

    Hobo scramble with over easy eggs

    Food was amazing! So delicious, went around 11 am and it was pretty packed but they worked fast on making sure everything was going good. Great breakfast!

    I have only been here for breakfast so I can't comment on their other menu items. Breakfast has always been good. I would say kind of a typical breakfast place omelettes pancakes, waffles etc. this time I got the order to go, but we have eaten there in person and always had good service. I usually get the corned beef hash, which is canned I would say typical for most portion sizes are good and we've never had an issue.

First off, the hash browns are really crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I love hash browns and this one did not disappoint. I got a breakfast combo with eggs, avocado, ham and cinnamon French toast with strawberries and bananas. I thought the ham was going to be Canadian bacon but it was a big piece of ham. I didn't like the ham, but everything else was delicious. Their cinnamon French toast is made in like a cinnamon roll which was really good! The banana French toast was also a hit! Fluffy and sweet deliciousness! I forgot to take a picture, but we also got the pancakes with a side of strawberries and Nutella. All the food was homestyle comfort food that was simply delicious!

As you walk in you are greeted by a very friendly staff, the entry way also leads you to the bar top seating area facing the kitchen. Within the main building you will find many booths and table options, they have many interesting art pieces and decor. It's a classic diner atmosphere with friendly staff. The food options are many, from Mexican classics, Burgers, Sandwiches and many other options. The meals are all made to your liking without any pushback around extra costs. The food quality was very high, I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, they were very authentic with a tomato sauce and sauteed onions and peppers, not spicy but I did ask for their home salsa and it brought up the spice level, the dish is served with homemade rice and beans, all well cooked. I also ordered a side of pancakes and bacon for my dad and they were perfectly cooked. The cost of the meal was very reasonable and worth the visit. I have shared my experience with my friends and family in Lancaster.

I called El Torito and asked if they could host my surprise dinner, whether they had space for 12-15 people, if we could reserve an area away from other guests, and if we could bring our own decorations for the tables. They were more than happy to accommodate all of it, and their servers were wonderful throughout the night. Everyone loved the food, and having the privacy of one of the back rooms made the whole evening feel even more special. My family, and especially my husband, had such a wonderful time. We can't thank El Torito enough for helping bring my vision to life!

Was told they don't serve Happy Hour at a seated table, but our waitress made an exception for us since we didn't know. It was hard to get service as our waitress was really busy. We ordered the Fresh Tableside Guacamole for $15, Street Corn for $4, Crispy Chicken Flautas for $8, Midori Melon Signature Margarita for $6, and Pomegranate Signature Margarita for $6. Was told the Horchata for around $5 was pretty good. We received complimentary chips and salsa and it was spicy, but good. The Fresh Tableside Guacamole was made fresh in front of us and was really good. They use the same chips for the salsa and guacamole. We were able to get multiple refills on the chips. The Street Corn was not good and was on the buttery side. The Crispy Chicken Flautas was really good with the sauces and came out hot and crispy. Both of the margaritas were weak, but we preferred the pomegranate over midori melon for flavor. They forgot our to go order and we had to go back to get it. Our waitress was nice but she was really busy and it was hard to get service. Would get the Fresh Tableside Guacamole and Crispy Chicken Flautas again.

The food, we ordered a Reuben Sandwich and a Cheeseburger. From what we had seen, the food looked great. The burger had lettuce, tomato,union, cheese, that oddly was not melted, a nice sauce, pickles and decent looking meat patty, unfortunately the last few bites of the meat patty had a funky taste, like it was a little old, hence the 3 star rating, the burger is also served with a decent amount of fries. The Reuben looked and tasted amazing, also served with a large portion of fries, one of the nice touches on this sandwich was the grilled Pastrami, this was a nice touch, its also served with sauerkraut & Swiss cheese on Rye. I do want to return to try the amazing looking breakfast options, they seem to have a huge variety of options. I also want to commend the wait stay, they were very nice and engaging, they came around multiple times to ensure that we had what we needed.

We chose the wrong day for our first visit. It was a Tuesday mid-morning (10:00am). There was no one at the register and no hostess ( we were told she didn't show). There was a couple waiting to be seated. They had entered the restaurant before we entered the parking lot. After waiting a few minutes I asked the woman how long she had been waiting. It had been ten minutes. The restaurant was not that full. It was several minutes later before someone seated the couple and a couple of minutes longer to seat us. They have a large menu with lots of options for breakfast. As we had entered the restaurant there was a large sign which advertised a Steak and egg breakfast for $12.99, Mon - Fri. The prices in comparison to Dennys were comparable. My husband ordered the 2 egg combo with Ham, potatoes, and toast for $15.39. The ham steak was thick and very large. The potatoes were abundant. He commented about the potatoes being under done and the second half of his ham was a bit fatty. I ordered the 2 egg combo with chicken fried steak with gravy, hash browns, and a biscuits for $15.99. The biscuit has real butter and honey accompanying it. The chicken fried steak was well done with the right amount of gravy. The hash browns were good. The biscuit was HUGE. It was tender but kept falling apart. Whether using my fingers or the fork it was hard to get the biscuit to the mouth. I will definitely return to try other menu items.
