Had a great meal here after seeing it on Yelp. It's tucked away in a small plaza in Brea, and the…read moreplace is adorned with flower decorations. The food was great. Had the choriqueso which was pretty rich and salty and great with the jalapenos and a squeeze of lime to cut through. Also got the molcajete that was amazing. Cactus, carne asada, chicken, chorizo, shrimp, queso fresco, and onions all sit in the molcajete filled with a tomato sauce. So much flavor and can easily feed 3 people. Had all of this with their house-made corn tortillas that were an absolute masterpiece. Also had their caldo de albondigas which was far more subtle than the molcajete but very good and their margarita which was very balanced and refreshing. To top it off, Susana and Diana and the crew delivered the best service. Welcoming, attentive, and energetic. Highly recommend a visit to this home-style Mexican restaurant!

My foodie friend loves tamales and she'd heard great things about the tamales at La Puerta, so off…read morewe went to check it out. The restaurant is located in a very unassuming shopping center and from the outside there's not anything that really makes it stand out. BUT, as soon as you walk through the front door, you're warmly greeted by the friendly and welcoming staff. And the decor, well it's a little over the top ~ it's an explosion of artificial greenery and flowers that gives the dining room almost a rainforest kind of vibe. It's also very spacious inside and could easily accommodate a large, "private" event/celebration in the side area. La Puerta opens at 9AM so they do have quite an extensive breakfast menu with both Mexican and American dishes. At another visit I'm looking forward to trying one of their Benedicts! But we tried to stay on task, so my friend got the tamale & chile relleno plate and I chose their à la carte flautas (one with carnitas and shredded beef for the other) and a crispy potato taco. My friend really enjoyed her beef tamale and would consider ordering by the half dozen to take home & freeze. Although the chile relleno was filled with plenty of creamy cheese, the sauce could have used more seasoning as it tasted mostly like a basic tomato sauce. I'm usually a chile relleno girl, too, but decided to try their flautas and a crispy taco. Both were SO good! The meat in the flautas was tender and flavorful and the potato taco was piled with fresh shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, sprinkled with cheese and drizzled with crema ~ YUM!! Our server, Lupita, was one of the best and sweetest servers we've had anywhere in a while. I'd go so far as to say that she made our visit memorable. I hope she'll be there at our next visit :)

You order at the front, and a staff member brings the food over to your table. We were about to eat inside their patio while it was a little chilly, but some indoor booths opened up for us. We both got the bacon burrito ($14). This is a large breakfast burrito with chopped bacon, two scrambled eggs, hash browns, and cheese wrapped in a flour tortilla. You can pick either red or green salsa. I liked the green salsa as it had a good balance of spice and flavor. The burrito has a lot of hash browns, which can overpower the overall flavor and other ingredients. The breakfast burrito seemed a little pricy, but the portion size made up for it. I even took a small remnant of leftovers home.

I made it to the food court a little before 10AM on a random Monday and decided to give the spot a shot. I ordered a sausage burrito with salsa verde and an unsweetened iced tea (free refill). The burrito was PIPING HOT and packed. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was considering that it's mall food. Way better than Pepe's and most other spots in the general area for breakfast burritos. The salsa verde had a nice kick and great flavor. The iced tea was a perfect way to wash down the food. Service was great. The woman that helped me out was patient and very friendly. I will definitely consider eating here again if I stumble into the mall in the AM when I'm craving a breakfast burrito.

So, I ordered a cheeseburger combo with a coke...pretty simple and hard ro mess up right....well, the burger tasted like something I could've made myself and better at home....the coke tasted like it was made with tap water and the fries were waaaay oversalted and tasted like they came out of a grocery freezer....the meal was just so disappointing and not worth the $16.

So I thought I'd try John's Place, which seems to be begging everyone driving down Central Avenue to stop with its kitschy vinyl banner: "BEST BREAKFAST BURRITO IN TOWN. $2 OFF FOR A LIMITED TIME." ICYMI, that sign has been up since pre-COVID. The burrito is now $10.50 plus tax. Inside, it's a diner time capsule: standard vinyl booths, plain tables and unadorned ambience -- but there's charm in that. It was spotlessly clean, as was the restroom. The young woman taking orders was constantly spraying and wiping tables whenever she wasn't helping customers. Parking is plentiful, and the A/C is powerful -- a must on those insanely hot North OC days. The Breakfast Burrito is hefty: eggs, cheese, salsa, tomatoes, hash browns and your choice of meat. I went with sausage. You can also build your own with bell peppers, grilled onions -- even fried jalapeños. Mine checked all the boxes: warm, pliable flour tortilla; creamy scrambled eggs; stringy cheese; savory sausage; and fresh salsa. I'll give John's Place five stars -- not because it pretends to be something it's not, but because it's a neighborhood diner that simply shows up and serves freshly prepared food to the community. And five stars to whoever made that vinyl banner, too. Remarkably indestructible -- and still going strong after COVID!

We got coffee, portobello eggs Benedict with sourdough instead of English muffin and hash browns, and chiliquiles with carnitas on the side, hot salsa, and over easy eggs. Pretty presentations. The food was really yummy. I love the fluffy sourdough. Well seasoned. Massive portion sizes. Took half home.

WARNING TO EVERYONE!! I will never go to this restaurant…read moreagain bc of the horrible attitude of the owners. My silverware smelled like food so I asked for hot water to sanitize it. They tried to charge me $1.50 for a cup of hot water after I spent almost $100 dollars. Read all the negative comments first, and then you'll know what I mean. This place will verbally fight you to the bone, not the employees but the owners themselves husband and wife. If you complain about as little as something like why was I charged for a hot cup of water or anything, the owner will verbally argue with you over it. Let me tell you, my experience and my daughter's experience with this restaurant, we left there traumatized. Why? Because we politely asked why we were charged for a hot cup of water. First, the wife came to our table with a bad attitude, talked to us about the charges, and then the husband came over to our table with the same attitude and that's when everything went bad. "I let my daughter handle the defense using logic with them and she did a good job." She explained well and clearly to them but on the other hand, the owner's husband and wife would not stop arguing with us.  My daughter and I were so embarrassed by the way they acted in front of their other cutomers that were looking and listening to their argument about us. They don't have any shame whatsoever! The argument didn't go anywhere bc these owners' husband and wife will not back down, or stop arguing. They will keep going until we are completely drained. They even told us not to come back. "Duh", who would come back to that place? So we paid, they took out the charge $1.50 for the hot cup of water, and guess what, we even gave them a decent tip despite what happened - that's our donation for their anger management therapy. "So, there you have it, folks" That's our experience with Our Nest restaurant and the horrible owner's husband and wife. Btw, my comment for the food is two words VERY SALTY!   Good luck goers, if you see this restaurant out of the blue, just pretend you didn't see anything.
