From the moment I sat down, the service stood out. Gaby was incredibly charming, polished, and attentive throughout the meal. She made sure my Corona Non-Alcoholic beer arrived right on time every time, and her warm energy added a lot to the overall experience. The skillet is, without question, one of the most skillfully executed brunch dishes I've had in San Diego. Every component felt thoughtfully prepared and well balanced. The potatoes were flavorful and satisfying, the shrimp were large and succulent, and the eggs over easy were cooked perfectly, adding richness to each bite. The combination of cheese, vegetables, and chipotle hollandaise brought everything together with bold flavor without overwhelming the dish. Beyond the food, the restaurant is clean, spacious, and welcoming. It works equally well for a family brunch, a relaxed meal with friends, or even catching a game. The music also added a great touch to the atmosphere. read more

Maggie's Cafe is the kind of San Diego spot you don't brag about -- you just quietly make it part of your routine. Super cozy, relaxed ocean-resort Mexican cafe vibe, no fake VIP energy, no nonsense... just good food, friendly people, and a smooth operation. Had the breaded steak, eggs, and potatoes breakfast -- honestly awesome. Proper flavor, satisfying portion, exactly what you need before a full day of moving and building things. Big thanks to David for letting me try some and for the legendary warning that the salsa has "a little kick." For him maybe... for me let's just say it definitely wakes you up. But superb -- fresh, bold, and addictive. Staff feels professional but very easygoing, organized without being stiff. The whole place runs clean and simple, which I respect a lot. Lately I've been around Gaslamp more often since expanding my high-end 24/7 art-studio-grade digital & offset printing lab downtown under the iPrintSD™ name. Becoming part of the downtown community means discovering local gems like this -- and Maggie's is definitely staying on my breakfast and lunch rotation. Well deserved 5 stars. Real spot. Real vibe. I like it. A for surr! read more

If you ever need a simple and comforting breakfast spot, my partner and I always keep Maggie's in mind. There's something pretty welcoming about the place. The staff greets you the moment you walk in, and it sets the tone for an easy, chill meal. The breakfast menu isn't trying to reinvent anything, but that's exactly why we love it. I always go for the strawberries and bananas French toast. The fruit tastes fresh, the cream is sweet, and they make the kind of classic, cozy breakfast that can't go wrong. The toast, eggs, potatoes, and bacon are cooked pretty simple. I also recommend the strawberry-banana smoothie. It's creamy, not overly sweet, and it feels like the perfect little treat to finish up breakfast. It's nothing crazy but the kind of spot that doesn't need to be flashy. It's just consistently good, friendly, and comforting. read more

I needed breakfast and chose Maggie's Cafe and I was definitely happy I did so. I started with a cup of Cafe de Olla and my mug was kept fresh constantly which was highly appreciated. I then chose the Tex Mex Omelette w/ potatoes and a side of beans. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty this omelette was. The potatoes were perfectly seasoned. The beans added a very nice dimension to this overall breakfast experience and I will definitely be back for more! read more

Nice restaurant and bar in the Barrio across the street from Northgate Market. We were there at a the lunch hour, but they also had breakfast available which is what we had--stuffed French Toast with eggs and bacon sausage , and a chili relleno omelet withe beans and rice. Good size helpings and delicious. Especially the beans and rice. It's a nice airy place. They have lots of drinks and a big bar if you are looking for that. read more

I still love this place even though they no longer have the French dip on the menu. Ordered a couple of tortas with a friend and I was amazed at how good they were, better than some of my fav Mexican places. A lot of meat...the milanesa style meat had so much flavor I thought it was pork. And the portions were splittable, making it a great value. And the parking is convenient. read more

A big and spacious Mexican restaurant with delicious food with huge portions, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere. I stopped by with a group of friends for lunch this past weekend and we had an excellent meal here. Service was friendly and accommodating with our orders. All the TVs on the walls were showing the latest sports which we all enjoyed watching while eating our food and enjoying our drinks. The chips with guac and salsa we got were wonderful with the chips being freshly fried and the gauc was so fresh. The salsa had a great kick of heat to it. I ordered the Chile Relleno Omelette and it was delicious. The rice and beans on the side were good and the chile relleno inside the omelette was oozing with cheese and the chile itself was spicy! The portion size was well worth the price and the dish overall was flavorful. If you need a good breakfast/lunch spot and are in the mood for some Mexican food, come check out this spot! read more

Stopped by here after a weekdaydaily mass, and was able to sit right away. Overall place was very clean and tidy. The menu was pretty easy to pick from, and had good options. The meals themselves were good and served at a good price. The coffee refills were also easy to get as well. The wait staff was very friendly and had no problem with slight modifications for our orders. Parking outside was easy since there's a lot of open spots shared with the other businesses. Overall, recommend for checking out while you're in San Diego. It's got a lovely charm to it, and is one of the best parts of Barrio Logan. Will plan on returning. read more

Great service as she welcomed us, and gave us a few options as we were taking coffee to go. She let me try out their brewed coffee and it was great! I don't like straight coffee, but that one was just different and good! And on the house too! Very sweet and we'll definitely have to come back here and try out their menu! I got an iced coffee and it is great! Trying to try out everyone's coffee here in San Diego! Come check this place out and bring some love! read more

Came here after Chicano Park Day again. Only had about 10 minute wait and was seated outside. We ordered the Milanesa and Carnitas torta and the Strawberry Salad. Food came out fairly quickly. Wife and I shared both plates and it was plenty. A little discouraged that they didnt cut off the gristle part of steak in milanesa. Torta came with all the fixings and the bread was very good. Lots of strawberries in the salad and all the other stuff made it a refreshing meal after a day out and about. I also quenched the day off with a dos xx clara. I enjoy this restaurant because its on our walk back to the trolley. read more

Maggie's Café - Veggie Hash - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

First off this place is a gem friendly waiters, good vibes, and delicious food. One question though, what makes biscuit and gravy such a great dish? The gravy and Maggie's gravy is the real deal. This is a simple dish which many places settle on a mediocre gravy but not Maggie so thank you for holding them biscuits down with that gravy. Maggie's potatoes, solid a nice rendition of some home style potatoes. I have gone this far so I won't leave it out the egg it was cooked properly per my request paired well like it does with all breakfast lunch and dinner items. Ps Next time I will ask for extra gravy read more

Visited 7/15/2024 Well I've had my eye on Maggie's Cafe for a long time now. Was told by many friends that this place served up some great food so today was my time to check it out. One of the top dishes on the menu is The Chile Relleno Omelet. I just had to have it. I wasn't disappointed. Comes with 3 cage free eggs in a omelet stuffed with a nice fat Chile Relleno. Maggie's Homemade Potatos, Refried Beans, and choice of Toast. I asked for a Pancake instead of toast and sure glad I did. It was a perfectly cooked pancake and nice sized. I also ordered a side of the hand made breakfast sausage. Very Tasty Sausage. All the food was delicious and perfectly cooked also nicely presented. This was a nice place for a nice breakfast. Service was friendly and efficient. Lots of seating inside and a nice outside patio with plenty of extra seating. Prices were average for San Diego so no surprise there. Just letting you know If You Check In On Yelp you'll get 10 percent off your bill. That's what I did. It was cool even the chef brought out my order and asked if there was anything else he could do for me. Now that's good service. There is plunty of free parking that's always a plus. I'm looking forward to coming back sometime and trying the lunch menu. Check it out if you get a chance. https://maggiescafe-barriologan.com/ read more

Cute corner spot in a busy outdoor shopping center. Brunch time was packed but the flow moved well. Service was fast but not too fast. The restaurant is mid size and served a combination of large and small parties. The patio caught my attention, decorated nicely and had a tucked away but scene feel, lots of plants...pretty. Love the coffee cups! Each cup is made out of clay and I believe the cups are also sold if you're interested. As for me, I ordered their Mexican coffee. My server did warn me that this was more of a traditional Mexican coffee which was pre-sweetened. And yes, it was so sweet I felt a my dentist call me for my annual check up. I recommend half regular coffee or just regular coffee. I chose a chile verde omelette which comes with carne asada. I substitute my bread for French toast (delicious). The food was served fresh but sadly was missing layers of flavor and was a bit overcooked for my taste. I will definitely come back to try the house recommendations and favorites. I loved the vibe and feel. read more

Eating out is fun when you have a dog. Cako loves coming to Maggie's because the staff is really nice! Diana took great care and gave us a doggie menu which I don't know if it's new. One of my goals is to eat something different each time I'm here. This visit I ordered the Torta Cubana; Milanesa, Chicken, Ham, Chorizo, Egg, Cheddar Cheese and Pepper Jack Cheese...this torta was sooooooooo good! She asked which sides I wanted, and for $1.99, I got half fries and half onion rings. Daveed ordered the tender steak and eggs. I ordered the bacon and eggs ($6.99) for Cako, which she loved! Trying to cut back on my sugar intake, the bartender made me a tequila, lime juice, and seltzer which was perfect! Sort of like a tequila soda...LOL! It was a cool evening on the patio, and Logan was pretty lively. Always great coming here! Cako Approves Again!!! read more

Maggie's Café - Chile Relleno Omlette, Beans and seasoned potatoes with corn tortillas. Topped with a red mild sauce. (Not spicy) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

First time visiting Maggie's for breakfast on a weekend. The space is large with plenty of indoor and outdoor tables. The service was good our waiter immediately took our order and offered suggestions. The food: ok. Lrge portions. I ordered the red chilaquiles , the red salsa was peculiar, definitely not your "average" chilaquiles sauce. I asked and they mentioned it was made with fresh chipotle peppers. Nonetheless it tasted like las palmas enchilada sauce to me. The tortillas were smothered in it, so no way around it. They went heavy on the sauce too, so again no way around it. They have a large menu with something for everyone which is great! I look forward to trying something new next time! read more

My wife and I were recently in San Diego and stopped by Maggie's Cafe for breakfast. The hostess met us at the door and made sure we were seated. When we arrived, there were only a few customers in the resturant. The resturant was clean and very well decorated. I ordered the chicken and waffles with the house sausage gravy. I was skeptical about the sausage gravy initially, but after my plate arrived and I tasted it...OMG, I was glad I ordered it. The chicken was chicken strips and the waffles were nice crispy belguim waffles. The dish was served on a medium size cast iron skillet. Bottom line, this dish was delicious. My wife ordered a Veggie omelet. This dish was AMAZING as well. The omelet was huge and full of colorful delicious veggies and smothered in an spicy tomato sause served with country fried potatoes and wheat toast. Both dishes were absolutely delicious. If you are in San Diego looking for a good breakfast, stop by Maggie's you will not be disappointed. read more

Loved this place. I was so impressed by the food presentation, the service from a sweet girl is always the best. She didn't have us wait for what we asked for. Always with a smile. Very attentive. I came here to visit from LA for my daughter's birthday in November and I would definitely be coming back. I know it's a Mexican spot but please order some fries if you like them crispy. One of the best fries I've had and also the chicken strips. I ordered the chilaquiles and they were so bomb. The place is fresh as it's an open space. Loved the vibe and the atmosphere. Thank you to the girl who started our day on a positive foot: she was the start of a beautiful day in San Diego. I appreciated her so much. She set our moods for the rest of our day.
