Friendly, attentive staff. For what you get , the price of the meals are too high, even with inflation considered. Food is quite underwhelming, even for diner food. read more

Eggs overeasy cooked to perfection! Only did Takeout but enjoyed the friendly and hometown feel about the place! The breakfast sausages were delicious as well! Hope to dine in with the family for breakfast or lunch on our next trip near there! read more

I recently tried Mikki's on a Saturday. I realized when I walked in that the restaurant was too loud and they were catering to a large table of 15+. I decided I would try their food by ordering take out so I asked an employee for a menu and she abruptly responded with "we are not taking to go orders". I will not be back to try the food or restaurant. read more

The service is amazing and the comes out quick, usually some cafes take a min to get there food out but not this place .the sourdough bacon burger is really good !!! read more

Mikki's Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Escondido, California

Menu photos needs to be updated. Much higher. The $ needs to go to $$. They also changed their name from restaurant to Cafe. Have not yet eaten. Didn't stay, would not let me order off kids menu. It's clean. read more

This place was ok, very old and rundown, desperately need new or a cleaned carpet. Way too warm inside, and after we ordered my grandson noticed a line of ants crawling along the border on the wall. Extremely slow, there was a group of about 15 having their order taken at the same time the three of us were ordering and I guess their waitress won the race because we sat and waited while the 15 got their meals, about 30 minutes. The breakfast was nothing special, they do make great eggs! The servers were pleasant enough. However there is nothing about this place that would make me return‍ read more

Always a family favorite breakfast or lunch spot. Great food and great people. Never have to wait long for service and once you sit down the building has a nice at home ambiance you can enjoy. Love this place read more

Mikki's will always be our favorite breakfast spot in Esco, we've been coming here for more than 13 years or so and we always return when in town, it's nice how we've gotten to know the family. Their plates are huge we always have food to take home and it almost all comes with sides included. read more

Mikki's Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Escondido, California

My family and I tried Mikki's for the first time today and the food was terrible. My husband and I ordered the country-fried steak and we both thought it was salty, home fries were cold and flavorless and my eggs were running. My son had a burger and he said it was okay. The service however was outstanding. read more

Went in for breakfast. The place is an older type diner. I like the layout. The service is nice. The social distancing is enforced. I like that. They make sure your over 6 feet away from others. The place seems to be clean. The food was really good. It took a while longer but the food comes out hot and taste great. I feel this cafe cares about your safety and delivers great food. A defiantly good place to try for breakfast. They are good. The servers are very good nod provide you everything you need. Salt and pepper with all syrup and butter. I felt safe and right at home. Great cafe. I would recommend trying this place for breakfast as it was awesome. read more

One of our favorite places to eat out. Good food, good prices, FANTASTIC people! If we're in Escondido for breakfast, this is where we'll be! read more

Mikki's Cafe - Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Escondido, California

Found this place on one of our mini-vacations. We were looking of a good breakfast spot and came across Mikki's Restaurant. I ordered the steak and eggs with crispy hash browns and two pancakes with a coffee. My wife had the oatmeal and orange juice and my son had the French toast with an orange juice. The food was great with lots of flavor, my steak was cooked just the way I requested it (medium). The coffee was freshly made, the pancakes were very fluffy. The French toast was very good, my son loved them. The oatmeal was also very good according to my wife. They also raved about the freshly squeezed orange juice the had received. The prices were reasonable, the restaurant was nice and clean, it had that homely feel, you felt welcomed there, the staff was great. Overall the experience at Mikki's was great. We look forward to coming back next time we're in the area. read more

This is a great little family owned cafe in Escondido. Located in small outdoor strip mall where most of the businesses have closed. A Ross was getting ready to open. before COVID hit. The service is excellent and friendly. Due to COVID, they are open for outside dinning only. The pattio is where seating is available is very nice. The Ole' huevos is very yummy and the pancakes are tasty. The prices are reasonable. read more

En este lugar te cuentan todo lo que te comes muy mal servicio talvez ala de el video lo importe, pero al dueño si

This small cafe is hidden in an old strip mall with very few stores. It's hard to find, but look for The Big Lots. We went here later in the day when most breakfasts places were already closed. Husband had a good breakfast and I had a yummy patty melt. The fries were crispy and a huge portion. We do not live close, but if in the area would go again. It's old and dated but clean with an extensive menu. read more

Great service... only have been here for typical breakfast stuff (big fan of the veggie omelette). read more

Tried this restaurant a couple times over the years, each time being disappointed. After several years since my last visit, I decided to give it another go. What prompted me was the person holding the advertisement sign on the street corner. When I entered the restaurant (on a weekday) it was basically empty. Yeah, red flag. The breakfast special came with eggs, french toast, and hash browns. The sunny side eggs were literally room temperature. The hash browns, although plentiful, were mushy and flavorless. As for the french toast, it tasted like it came out of a frozen box; and as hungry as I was, I could not finish it. Had a weird flavor too. Worse, it was topped with that poison called margarine as opposed to REAL food... butter! On the positive side, service was average (which says a lot nowadays), and the coffee was pretty good. Too many other restaurants to bother coming here again. read more

I dont see how this place has 4 stars? Our food was not good at all! Not just one person at the table liked there meal. I ordered a philly sandwich, I mean I can understand it's a breakfast place. But, then again we were confused as to what this place was aiming towards Mexican or American? I didnt even see any Mexican dishes on their menu other then a omelette with a hint of mexican. I mean you cant really mess up a sandwich that consist of meat, veggies and cheese. I would suggest chopping the meat and mixing it with the veggies and cheese to help with the dryness of the meat. I could tell it was dry before I even tried it. The fries tasted like tortilla chips. My husband ordered the waffle combo with strawberries and whip cream. We can understand the strawberries could have an artificial taste but it tasted old! The waffle was burnt and my husbands hard poached eggs were runny. My father in law got their special which was pork chop. There was zero flavor! His homestyle potatoes tasted bland and the onion and bell pepper was barely sauteed. And when I say barely it even look like they did not even attempted to cook it! The prices and the food both suck! Who really would pay almost $4 for a cup of orange juice? Well us obviously! It was like paying for a kids meal! We will NOT return! I dont even want to give a one star. But, I have to and that goes to the server that didnt have any part of making our food. read more

Everything we had was good and fresh, eggs came as ordered, all standard diner breakfasts, plates had a good amount of hash browns, service was a little slow and grumpy for the amount of people here. I would come again, maybe she was having a bad day. Would have had 4 stars except for the service. read more

After months and months of seeing the scarce but great reviews this place kept getting here on Yelp, I decided to give this hidden breakfast joint in the hidden valley (aka Escondido) a shot...the verdict? I'll let the score I gave it speak for itself...it got the full hand, and off to depict my munching I experience I go. I'll make it as brief and concise as possible, here we go.... The food was great, the amounts were copious, our waitress was hospitable, informative, and also attentive. The fact that she was bilingual was a plus, since I took my mom out to breakfast & she only speaks Spanish (my pet peeve when taking her out to eat is having to translate). The coffee was strong, just how it should be. I ordered the denver omelette which came with your choice of hash browns, and two pancakes. Mom had the fruit pancake combo (two eggs, two bacon/sausage, hash browns, and two pancakes with strawberries & cream on top). I liked the fact that even though egg whites were not an option on the menu, they were still able to make that accommodation for her. Food took about fifteen minutes or so to get to the table, not too bad. We finished our food, I liked it, mom liked it, we were happy campers, We'll be returning with pops & my other two siblings. All in all, this is better than either IHOP or Denny's, it might not be as nice (it's not fancy by any means, but the food is heartier & cheaper). If you're ever in the mood for breakfast, do try this place. read more

This is My favorite place for breakfast! Huevos Rancheros & Chorizo Con Huevos are the best!

Solid 3.5 stars. Nice little family restaurant hidden away in the corner of a strip mall. It does not look like much from the outside. The staff is very friendly and attentive. The food is decent. I had the corn beef hash with pancakes. The pancakes were moist and tasty. I really like the warm syrup. The corn beef hash and hash browns were good. It is a lot of food for the price you pay. Overall, a nice family run restaurant that is not chain. read more

Staff here is super nice. I would say the prime rib that they advertise does kind of suck. It's cut very thin and it looks more like a Porkchop haha! Breakfast is super good. The waffle is is a Belgian style thick, tasty treat. Omelettes are good. My boyfriend loves the sausage only because he likes how the waitress says "Sausage ". Club sandwich and French dip are recommended for lunch. We are regulars here due to the prices, the friendly staff, and the good food. Much better than a Denny's or an IHOP. read more

My wife and I visited Mikki's this morning on our quest for the best breakfast spot in Escondido. Mikki's has an old time feel but not an old time look. The portions were large and the price was right. They offer bottomless mimosas for $8. We had two carafes. The only negative Is they did not have any pork substitutes on the breakfast menu as to why only 4 stars. Please add turkey or chicken to your breakfast options. read more

Great place! Great food! So filling, the service was amazing. Our waitress was bilingual and was very efficient

Very good place to go for breakfast. Friendly service with lots of repeat business from regulars. My go to breakfast item is their chili cheese omelette - in my opinion, their chili is chili cook-off competition quality. Have always enjoyed my meals at Mikki's. read more

I hadn't eaten here in years. Sunday morning everything was busy so I decided to try it again. They were busy too but, my breakfast was perfect and the server was attentive. Will try lunch sometime read more

This was an amazing breakfast experience! Our waitress Liz was so friendly and attentive! All the staff was helpful who came in contact with us. George served us with a smile! It is great that our family was taken care of by family. They are all related! How have we missed this place on the map after all of these years? The food was delicious! The Colorado omelette was fantastic and the Prime rib was tasty! The portions were Huge! We will be back for sure! read more

The food was AWESOME! The service was OUTSTANDING! You can really see, taste, and feel the difference from somewhere like Denny's or IHOP. I recommend this place 100%. I had the french toast plate, wife had eggs & chorizo plate, kid had cheeseburger & fries....EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING! Including the service. Well Done Mikki's read more

Tuesday December 21st I went to have breakfast here with my mother, grandmother, and nephew. We all ordered a simple breakfast and received poor service from a lady with dyed blond hair. (Food was unflavored anyway). She rang us up for a total of $63 dollars, we payed and left. The lady did not offer me a receipt and as soon as I signed the receipt she told me goodbye. I then checked my bank account a couple days later and I was charged $73 from here. I came back a few days after because of Christmas being in the way and them closing as early as 2pm every day. When I walked in December 26th right away attitude from the same lady, she mentioned how she didn't remember us and even struggled to do her math when I asked her to ring me up for the same breakfast items we got that day. She just opened her register and gave me cash with a quick sorry and walked away. What was suspicious is that yes, I mentioned she gave me no receipt, but I told her I could show her a screenshot on my phone of the amount I was overcharged and she did not ask to see it. So how often do they do this?...Would just recommend checking your bill before you pay and might as well do the math yourself since they just use a calculator and charge you whatever they want. *Also just read through the reviews and saw someone else mention the rude service the same lady provided. Just because it is family owned doesn't mean you have to have your rude family members serving paying customers. read more

Tried it for the first time. Food was so bomb and the mimosas were good too. Excellent service. Nice place. Will definitely be back!

My favorite thing here is the prime rib and eggs followed by the pancakes. Every time I come here they don't disappoint, service is great always checking in on your coffee cup to make sure it is always full. Prices are fair so you're actually getting a good deal. Now you're thinking prime rib at a fair price it's probably not a great cut, now you may be right but here's the thing it is prepared perfectly to were it is a great piece of meat, clearly the cook/chef knows what he is doing in the kitchen so kudos to him! Now I know pancakes anyone can make pancakes but I really enjoy the pancakes here, just the right size, nice buttery, fluffy, melt in your mouth syrupy goodness! read more
