Food was great. Lot of variety of brunch items to choose from…read more It's by the railroad tracks, but it feels like you've walked into someone's well-tended patio garden when you walk in. Parking can be a bit tricky as they don't have their own parking lot, so street parking only. Majority of seating is outdoors but shaded. They really put a lot of time and dedication to the ambiance. They do have a small parklet area if you want some more shelter. It's fast casual, so order at the window and they'll give you a buzzer that'll go off when your order is ready. I had the breakfast sandwich entree. As you can see, portion sizes are generous and the food did not disappoint! Breakfast sandwich was lightly toasted and the potatoes were well-seasoned. Customer service was a bit lacking. Had to go back to the window a couple of times to ask for stuff and felt bad having to bother them every time. Aside from that, great spot with plenty of seating for a brunch/lunch date.

TLDR: Small (but not crowded) restaurant with great customer service and food! Highly recommended…read more:) We came during lunch hour and there were no other customers surprisingly. We were seated immediately and the food came out quickly. The mozzarella sticks were a little small but tasty. Their pasta is much more flavorful compared to other Italian restaurants nearby. We spent a decent amount of time but didn't feel rushed at all. They checked up on us frequently and were extremely attentive: they literally rushed to their feet when they noticed we finished. Would definitely come back again to try out other dishes!

The…read moreburgers and fries were great, but it's the pleasant, relaxing tropical vibe that sets it apart. Brilliant idea to turn a parking lot area into a venue with so many cozy and appealing areas and niches. The live music was great and kids have their own area in the back section that features a sign to adults to please keep an eye on their kiddos. It's an unexpected hidden gem on 2nd St. and 205 Cutting Blvd. in Richmond I can't wait to go back!

The best part is the dining area that allows kids to roam around and there is a small play area too. We love that they have music in the weekend and even once a month karaoke night! My only complain is that their hours! 7pm closing time is too early! 8pm is better! It's a family friendly spot and while the menu is small it's suffice!

Because there were so many people talking and the place is small, it was somewhat difficult to talk. I had the plain breakfast burrito which is the best value on the menu. It is just egg and cheese on a flour tortilla. I found the service to be good. The coffee and tea are Peet's which I like. I would like to come back and sit outside when the weather is warmer. This place is also very popular with bicyclists passing through.

Super nice, friendly, and always welcoming, making it a very cozy and homey type of feels. Even after long absences since my son moved schools she still remembered him each time we dropped in even though he was a few years older and a few feet taller! The food is still as good as it was a few years ago. I'm not really sure if the menu has changed today but at least it remains consistent and they kept rice and Gluten-Free bread as options. I love that they still carry gluten free bread!! My child had the GF French toast covered with bananas and syrup and he completely wiped that plate clean! I hope this place sticks around forever! I can imagine us walking in for breakfast another 10 years from now and she'll still remember us.

We got the jelly breakfast sandwich, like everyone else, and honestly, it was really good! I thought it was going to be overhyped lol, but the bread was nicely toasted and buttery and the strawberry jam went well with all the other ingredients. We got white bread and chicken sausage. We also enjoyed the chilaquiles and huevos rancheros. We chose to have our chilaquiles made with salsa verde and it tasted fresh and had a lilttle kick to it! Lupe was surprised that it was our first time there, since we ordered all the bestsellers! She said to try the breakfast burrito next! Lupe was very sweet and wholesome. She told us that Angel's has been open for 21 years and that people are now finding out about them. She was gushing over how the restaurant blew up and how many food vloggers had stopped by and the exposure it has given them. She looked so happy telling her story and name dropped Grub with Mike and Kool John. We're so glad we were able to stop by and check out this local restaurant, which has been in our community the whole time!

I have to say, the food was amazing and the owner and workers were super friendly. The owner was so welcoming, and we had a great conversation as well. I ordered the chilaquiles with green salsa, huevos rancheros, and the breakfast sandwich I've been seeing all over the internet. Honestly, everything I tried was delicious in my opinion! There's mostly street parking, and I believe there's also a small parking lot in the back that I didn't notice at first. It's right next to Mira Vista Liquors, so if you're having trouble finding it, that's a good landmark. The inside is also pretty spacious if you want to dine in. Overall, great food, friendly service, and a nice atmosphere. I definitely recommend giving this place a try if you're in the San Pablo area!
