    The food had good flavor! The meat was nice and chopped with a grill taste, seasoned well. They serve you large portions, you definitely get what you paid for. The servers were great! From the moment you walk in you are greeted by all the staff that's free. Our waitress Andrea was definitely on her game and so were the servers around us. It's a small place, but they make it work. They have a few TVs going on and light music. It was warm inside? I think the A/C had gone out. They do have a patio outside. With all that said it was a good experience and I'll be back for those burritos I saw everyone getting.

    Came here last Monday as a 1st timer w my friend who is a regular (she loves this place) & it was super delicious. Upon entering, it was smaller than I expected on the inside but they had outdoor seating too.. I ordered a chocomilk w banana , it was kinda pricey ($10) but it was huge. I also got the blueberry pancakes with a combo. Everything tasted really good & I basically liked the plate clean. 10/10

    Upon entering the staff greeted us with smiles. The restaurant looked super clean and well kept. I did enjoy they had holiday decorations up to make it feel warm. Upon seeing the menu they have all options for everyone. When the food arrives the staff went over and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. It's a must try, I enjoy supporting small businesses.

    The service was great! The restaurant is really nice and the food was delicious! We got a Western skillet and a Belgian waffle with strawberries. We got fresh salsa for the skillet that was really good. The server was really kind! The decorations really elevated the diner as well. Would definitely recommend to others!

    I came with friends to this dinner -- Food is good, servings are pretty big. Customer services goes above and beyond, you feel welcome. It's a family ambience, they also have kids menu.

    The service was great. The waitress was friendly and informative on the menu. The food was delicious. I had the Talapia dinner and hubby beef hard shell taco plate. They had the old Christmas songs playing for the season. The flan was to die for.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Chilaquiles with Carne Asada and red sauce

    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

    Pancakes
    Michael A.

    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!!!!!

    Decided to treat myself out to breakfast and dine in at Corky's. When I arrived, there was no line…read more I was greeted by the lady working in the front bakery and was seated immediately. I was probably sitting no more than 3 minutes before the waitress came over to take my order. She was great. She came back two other times to make sure I was good. I ordered the chorizo burrito w/ home fries instead of hash browns and a water because I can't fix myself to pay what they charge anywhere for a soda. The chorizo burrito is simple - eggs, chorizo, home fries, and shredded cheese for $14.19. The presentation of the burrito was a little underwhelming but the burrito was a nice size. It was large enough to share with another person. The home fries inside were ok. They were a little underdone and over seasoned for my liking. Again, that's just me! I know now to get them extra crispy. The chorizo and egg mixture was cooked perfect. The ratio of potatoes, to eggs, to chorizo was a perfect balance. The burrito was also cheesy. I've never had Corky's salsa and I was pleasantly surprised, it had a little kick. It also tasted salty to me but I also don't cook with a lot of salt. My only other critique was the tortilla could've been warmed a little more, not just heated up on the burner. The ambiance here is country kitchen style. They have quite a bit of decor hanging on the walls representing it. This place is pretty large inside and could definitely accommodate a large party. Overall, my dining experience was good and I would come here again for sure.

    This burger was good just needed a little more flavor, more seasonings. Other than that is was…read moreyummy. Fries perfect! Server was friendly too. Cozy atmosphere. Diner style like I like.
