    Chilaquiles w/ Carne Asada and green sauce.
    Stephanie L.

    This was my first time trying Ortega's Diner. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. The ambiance is trendy and I love the Valentine's Day decorations. The food was good. I think I enjoyed the beans most on my plate. I also had a bite of their pancakes and they were pretty good. I'd eat here again.

    Chilaquiles
    Briana H.

    Came here for breakfast to try it out. Place is nice but a little warm at first. Our server greeted us promptly and was friendly and happy to answer any questions. The menu is HUGE (variety of Mexican and American) and quite intimidating and had me a bit nervous about food quality. Here's how it went. 1st: chips and salsa aren't free and were $3.99 but good and not sure if they are u limited as we didn't ask for more chips when finished. Agua Fresca Jamaica: 8/10 Size is decent for 4.99 and good Chilaquiles: 6/10 The menu price is 14.99 for chicken or carne asada and charged an extra 3.99 for chorizo (the store bought one) which was interesting as chorizo is cheaper than both. Also, the creama drizzled on top was an extra charge and only comes with one egg. An extra egg was (2.25) Sadly, The tortillas were cut into tiny squares and my eggs were over cooked. I asked for over easy and it they were over medium (I love the runny egg yolk). Our server didn't come back and check on us to ask how our food was until we were nearly done. They did get a rush of people so that attributed to our lack of service. Ortega omelet: 7/10 omelette was wayyyy overcooked. Comes with two sides of your choice and toast.

    We absolutely love this place! From breakfast to dinner options you cannot go wrong! They also have some of the best salsa in the IE! My favorite is the country fried steak breakfast, skillet breakfast, chilaquiles breakfast, pescado frito dinner plate, and mozzarella sticks! Also their orange and mango agua fresca is amazing! The service is always 10/10 and the place is always clean! I highly highly recommend this restaurant! It's hard to find quality food these days at a reasonable price but this place has it!

    Fantastic Breakfast and Excellent Service! We had breakfast for two at Ortega's Diner and loved everything about it! We ordered the huevos rancheros, chilaquiles en salsa verde, and a Belgian waffle topped with fresh strawberries, along with two house coffees -- all for under $60, which is an amazing deal for the quality and portions. The food was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The staff was super friendly and attentive, great ambiance, making us feel right at home. Excellent service all around! Highly recommend Ortega's Diner for anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying breakfast.

    My husband and I always pass by this place and finally decided to come here! I was happy with the service ! The inside was clean and inviting. They have so many food options and we came here for breakfast, I got the Chilaquiles plate with carne asada and red sauce, love this plate and how tasty everything was! Check it out when you are in the area

    I got the chilaquiles verdes this time the other day

    Everything went well. Amazing food, atmosphere and service. I'm already sold after my first time going. Bring an appetite if you want some menudo cause these bowls are HUGE

    Shrimp burrito Wet with chilli Verde sauce (no beans)
    Steve R.

    Great Mexican food and diner food. Got the mojarra fritta (fired tilapia) and came out great! Not the largest bit was fresh and seasoning was just right. Also got the shrimp burrito (no beans and wet), thing is a beast of a burrito with soo much shrimp not just rice like a lot of other places will do. Wet sauce was a chilli Verde and was very good! Agua fresca are just the right sweetness and huge cup. Give this place a try of your hungry and want good food with good portions.

    Pancakes

    Kiddos wanted the one breakfast item that I don't cook - pancakes, so we took a drive to check out Ortega's. We were greeted and promptly seated. Kids enjoyed the pancakes and the bear face was a nice touch. Country fried steak and ham were both good. Saw the sign for Micheladas so will have to try some out next time. I think I also saw mimosas being taken to a couple tables. Everyone here was friendly and attentive but our server (unfortunately didn't catch her name) really took care of us. Our coffees stayed filled and when I asked for a cup to go, there was extra coffee poured in so that I had a full cup when I transferred what was in my mug. Service like this is what I would gladly return for.

    Starving in mid afternoon and having no knowledge of the city of Fontana, I stumble in this place. Clean, roomy and greeted with beautiful smile, what else can a hungry guy ask for. Instantly the chips and salsa appear and I'm telling you, I devoured them. Not only because I was hungry, but because they are delicious. Chips apparently are made fresh here daily. Menu is extensive. I was surprised at the quality and quantity of items. In the mood for a burrito, I ordered the burrito supreme. This thing is massive. Digging into it, had me thinking twice while being able to finish it. Let me tell you, in award, it was delicious. Fresh guacamole, delicious Mexican rice, and a special spicy salsa that they brought as a side dish. Great service, and quality food. If you're in town in Fontana, definitely look this place. But make sure you come hungry.

    Pastrami sandwich! Bomb!!!!!
    Daniel F.

    Ortega's recently opened in Fontana. I came in to give them a try and decided to go with a pastrami sandwich to go with Onion Rings instead of fries. The misses went with a Chile verde Gordita and an Asada Gordita. Let me tell you that this might be the 2nd best pastrami sandwich I've ever had. There's a place in LA you might of heard of, Langer's Deli, they're pretty good. But this pastrami sandwich here at Ortegas was absolutely delicious! You know the food is good when the food puts you in an even better mood. The misses really liked her food, she said I cam bring her those anytime. Our waiter was amazing, friendly and was very attentive to our needs without us having to ask for it. The ambiance is nice, simple but very nice. And lastly, I appreciate that the music that was playing was not loud, I don't like having to shout to my wife when the music is loud.

    Shrimp appetizer

    First would like to say that the prior restaurant the hot spot is missed! The menu is exactly the same as Lucy's Diner, page for page! Ordered the patty melt, shrimp sampler, onion rings and cheeseburger. Salsa was very watery but the chips were good. Food was fresh, served hot and pretty tasty! Overall satisfied, just wish there was some originality with the menu here.

    We went here on a early Thursday morning just to get some quick breakfast. We thought all of the food looked like AI pictures and when we got our food we understood why it looked AI. The food was super good and the service was fast and our server was very friendly and attentive. It's a smaller place with a breakfast diner vibe. I'm sure their dinner food is just as good as the breakfast we had.

    Meaty Pastrami Sandwich
    Carlos O.

    I visited Ortega's Diner today base on reviews by Yelpers !! Tried their pastrami sandwich with onions rings. I added Swiss cheese to kick it up a notch that being said it was fool of flavor plenty of pastrami ate only half Leftovers . The Onion rings are true crunchy perfectly cooked up there with (The Hat) if I have to critique only thing is the lack of onion rings. Overall great place I'll definitely be trying them out again. Thanks Yelpers Good Choice

    I recently visited Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers and had a great experience. The burgers…read moreare really good the steakburgers are cooked perfectly with crispy edges and a lot of flavor. You can tell the quality is there, and everything tasted fresh and made to order. The shoestring fries were delicious and crispy, and honestly some of the best fries to go with a burger. But the highlight for me was the onion rings with the jalapeño sauce and honey mustard. The onion rings had the perfect crunch, and the jalapeño sauce was absolutely delicious. Overall, great food, great flavors, and definitely a spot I'll keep coming back to when I'm craving burgers, fries.

When I got to the front, I waited while the employee finished cleaning before she acknowledged me. I told her I had a mobile order pickup, gave her my name, and her response was simply, "Okay," before walking away without any further communication. I spent about a minute getting napkins and sauces ready, and when I came back, my food was just sitting on the counter. No one called my name, confirmed the order, or mentioned that my drinks and chocolate custard scoop were missing. I stood there waiting while the same employee continued making rounds and chatting with dine-in guests. Thankfully, another employee noticed me and asked if I needed help. I asked if the order on the counter was mine, and she confirmed it was. I then asked about my drinks and custard, and she said she'd bring them out. After grabbing a spoon and returning, the drinks and custard were sitting there with no employee in sight. I grabbed my food and left. Once I got home, my daughter asked where her juice was that was supposed to come with the kids meal. That's when I realized they forgot that too. Worst service ever if you're not dining in. The lack of communication, attention, and care with a simple mobile order was extremely frustrating. Definitely not happy with this experience and will not be coming back.

I had the Piccolo Cup ($7.95) and Regular Cup ($8.95). This silky gelato contained bold, rich flavors. It's delicious! I arrived at Bacio di Latte (Etiwanda) on Sunday (around 11:06AM). Parking is simple since the plaza's parking is big; however, it's competitive from the many cars. Staff is very professional, welcoming, and hardworking. Staff immediately offered samples. Staff also eagerly explained each gelato. Staff happily answered my questions. Staff maintained a bright, cheery smile whenever customers arrived. My order was completed immediately. As mentioned, I genuinely adored the gelato. Each flavor felt distinct, bold, and fresh. The ingredients tasted high quality, and it melted quickly once scooped. The pistachio had a fresh, natural flavor. The strawberry cheesecake had a bold strawberry taste. And the 3 Cioccolati had a clean, pure chocolate flavor. It's a delightful, special experience. Regarding ambiance, Bacio di Latte (Etiwanda) is gorgeous and upscale. It's beautiful!! There's eight shiny interior tables, a gender neutral restroom, and soothing music. It's an attractive location. Overall, I had a magical experience at Bacio di Latte (Etiwanda). Staff is exceptional, ambiance is gorgeous, and the gelato is distinct & special. If you love gelato, this is a very easy recommendation. 5 out of 5. "GOO!!"
