    Belgian Waffle
    Sam P.

    A yummy, classic breakfast. My Belgian Waffle combo hit the spot and my friend enjoyed her chilaquiles. The green juice was super grainy, but the tropical smoothie was great. Nice staff and didn't take too long to get food. A little pricey, but that's normal in the mountain towns. Beautiful outdoor patio seating.

    Breakfast burrito

    This place is unreal. Or it's what we ordered, I'm not sure as it was our first time there but the two dishes we got were 5 star dishes all the way. You order at the counter and the wait staff asks if you're sitting in or outside so they can find you and bring your food. I got the Chile verde omelette and it was divine. It was covered in Chile verde sauce as well as the tenderest pork your fork can handle. Viola! So so so good. Topped with avocado and got sourdough that was also very good, I opted for the side of a hash brown but I have to say, next time I wanna try the home fries as they look bomb!!! BF got the breakfast burrito that is made with ribeye!!! It was sooo goood. We went halfsies so I got half of this culinary delight and it was even better once you add in the chipotle sauce that comes on top. I wanna come back like tomorrow and maybe I shall!!!

    Perfect spot for breakfast and bunch! You can either order at the counter and take a seat or get your order taken after seated. We found it easier to order at the counter. All of the servers and workers were amazing. All super attentive and friendly. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. The portions were generous. The breakfast burrito was massive and is what you picture when you think of a breakfast burrito. The chilequiles red sauce was good. When my bf and I go out for breakfast/brunch, we love to order something sweet to balance out our savory order. We ordered the tiramisu French toast and wow! It was a proper French toast and it had good flavor. It was a bit too sweet for my taste though. I'd recommend this spot to anyone visiting Idyllwild.

    This was our second visit, and we'll definitely be back. We drive about an hour from La Quinta to get here, and it's absolutely worth the trip. The restaurant is always clean, organized, and welcoming, and the restrooms are spotless as well. I ordered the chilaquiles with steak and chose the red sauce. I can usually handle spicy food, but this dish definitely had a nice kick to it. Everything tasted fresh, especially the microgreens, onions, and black beans. I also added two eggs over medium, which were cooked perfectly. The steak had good flavor overall, but mine was cooked more well-done than I would have preferred. I wasn't asked for a preferred temperature, so I'm not sure if that's an option. The ribeye is also sliced very thin, which may contribute to it cooking through more quickly. If I could suggest one improvement, it would be serving this dish on a flat plate rather than in a bowl. The bowl made it a little challenging to cut the steak comfortably, whereas a flat plate would make it easier to enjoy. Overall, the food was delicious, the restaurant is consistently well-maintained, and the experience was excellent. Looking forward to our next visit

    Tiramisu french toast

    Your bubble girl reviewer (peanut, tree nut, and seafood allergy) did not have an allergic reaction here. But always tell staff, so they are aware. Food came out very quick! My absolute favorite item I ate was the sausage. Incredibly juicy and very delicious. I wish we ordered more of it instead of the bacon, in my opinion. The fried chicken wasn't dry and was very crispy. The tiramisu french toast wasn't too sweet, but I also never add syrup. My favorite part about Idyllwild is that dogs are welcome almost everywhere, as long as they behave of course. So a stroller for the pups was great at all the restaurants, but there were a few just lying on the ground under the tables. It's nice that the tables are under some trees. I will definitely come back for breakfast again to try more!

    The food was more than adequate - it is unfortunate that when the order was placed it was requested No Green bell Peppers no onions - double checked and still the order came wrong. We picked them out as best we could yet the green bell peppers permeated the eggs bummer. My waffle was hot and the eggs warm Beautiful outdoor setting - customer service though was lacking. - order the food at the counter, they do bring the food to you yet, when they do it is not with a smile or pleasantry. Other eateries in town have the; same pricing, seat you, take your order, delivery your food, and exchange pleasantries. That is the joy of going out to eat while vacationing. If I wanted to serve myself i could stay in my rental. Overall decent food just no friendly service, with a little attitude., Writing this bums me out

    Nice interior and exterior seating. Came today for breakfast with a big group. They had a lot of food options.They cleaned tables quickly as guests left so not a lot of waiting. The inside was pretty cozy. To order, you go to the register. It was really easy to order. Got the 3 combo with eggs,bacon, hasbrowns and sourdough toast. The bacon was good and crispy and hash browns were good too. We also got that California breakfast burrito and that was DELICIOUS. I highly recommend the burrito and chilaquiles because they also looked sooooooo good. I asked somebody who had it and they said they were absolutely delicious.

    $80 for 4 waffles and 2 coffees. Soooo expensive, wow. The coffee was also so bad. please do yourself a favor and buy coffee at a real coffee shop in town. The food was good though. Most of the food in this town has no flavor but this place actually was good besides the coffee and prices.

    Stopped into Mama's Egg House while up in Idyllwild and absolutely loved it. The food was fresh, flavorful, and felt homemade in the best way. The portions were generous, everything came out hot, and you can tell they really take pride in their breakfast dishes. The service was warm and attentive, and the whole spot has that cozy, mountain-town vibe that makes you want to linger a little longer. It's the kind of place you can come for a relaxed morning, good coffee, and food that hits the spot. Would definitely come back next time I'm in Idyllwild.

    chilaquiles rojos

    I loved the vegan huevos rancheros! The portion is great for $20 and very filling. I was shocked at all the vegan options and happy that they accommodate to everyone. The other dishes were great as well and most plates range from $20-30. At this restaurant, you review the menu and once ready you order at the register and pay. The service is friendly and I would definitely come back!

    I had the chile relleno omelette with home fries and it was amazing and a very large portion. The ranchero sauce was so good. My husband had the meat lovers breakfast which he shared with our dog. We sat outside and they put heaters on for us. It's a nice patio area. Service was fast too!

    Such a cute little eatery in Idyllwild! I had breakfast out on the little deck and it was a beautiful day with lots of umbrellas for shade. It seems to be a fast casual concept where you order at the counter. They do bring the food out to you. The menus could've used a cleaning, they look like they had seen better days, and they were definitely smudges of food on them. I got the huevos rancheros and it was delicious! Tons of flavor and just the right amount of spice in the sauce. I asked for the breakfast potatoes extra crispy and they didn't seem extra crispy, but they did taste really good. I also loved the big chunks of veggies and there was a nice serving of avocado as well. My food came out really fast and was piping hot. My fiancé got the three egg breakfast. Simple and tasty! The eggs and bacon were cooked to perfection. Coffee was above average for a breakfast spot, but not as good as a coffee shop. Also, no Wi-Fi available and in a town that has poor Internet service that is a bummer.

    I loved the brunch! Servings are pretty big. Food and beverages are fresh. Wait time is just okay but if you are hungry, you may need to be extra patient. Bathroom wait line can be long as there is only one. Ambiance is perfect for a cozy, quaint, small town. Staff were all welcoming and friendly. I had a great time when we were here!

I was in town looking for a good brunch spot and came across Cocina de Barrio on Yelp. The food looked delicious, but let me tell you... it tasted like home. You know that scene in Ratatouille when the food critic takes that first bite and is instantly transported back to his childhood? That was me. The sauces, the flavors, the textures... everything was absolutely magnificent. It was honestly so hard to choose what I wanted. I would happily pay extra for a buffet here! Hint, hint! I ordered the Oaxaqueño Breakfast, with nopales (cactus) cooked into the eggs with salsa, paired with refried beans and potatoes. Can we just take a moment to give some serious compliments to the chef?! Every bite was packed with flavor. I also paired my breakfast with a Café de Olla, and I loved that it wasn't overly sweet. I enjoy my cafecito, and this one was just right. The ambience is colorful, vibrant, and beautifully filled with greenery, which made the whole experience even better. everyone was very welcoming and friendly Overall, Cocina de Barrio was such a wonderful find. I'm already looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes the next time I'm in town. 10/10 -- my taste buds definitely felt at home.

    My friends and I had plans to go to ZAMA and found out it was closed so we had to find a new place…read more We ended up here just based off the pictures. Let's start with the margarita I got, I did not taste any alcohol in it (and I cannot have strong drinks! So that can tell you a lot) not worth $18. We basically paid for an expensive agua fresca! Then I ordered the carne asada skewers. The first bite was okay, not very flavorful, but I thought I could just finish it. As I go through the meat, I notice so much fat and very little meat. I grab another piece and bite into it, I start chewing and realize that it tasted like raw meat (with a hint taste of raw meat that spent too much time in the fridge) I immediately got nauseous and spit it out on a napkin. I told our server and he asked me what else I would like. I then ordered the fish tacos, he brought it out in less than 5 minutes (kind of fast if you ask me) I try a small piece of the fish and it wasn't bad, I give a piece to my friend and she only got fat. Why is there fat in my fish tacos! I tried to pick through it so I could atleast get full, but I couldn't do it. The server came to pick up our plates and asked me if I didn't like the tacos, I said no but that's okay don't worry about it. I was so disappointed because I was starving. My friend ordered the rib eye tacos and had to pick through it too because most of it was fat. The only good thing that happened was that our server did not charge me for the two plates that I didn't eat. We thanked him, paid the check and left. Unfortunately, this was not the best food and we were excited to eat and celebrate my birthday.
