    Chilaquiles
    Karen K.

    First time visiting Pradera and came here with my girls to celebrate a birthday! We came on a Sunday and joined the waitlist when we arrived. Our wait was around 45 minutes, but I actually liked that there are plenty of shops nearby, including TJ Maxx, so you can walk around and browse while you wait. Just a heads up, there is no restroom available at the restaurant. Food: The portions here are definitely generous, which makes it a great spot to come with friends or family and share a few dishes. We ordered the pork belly eggs Benedict, chicharrón & guacamole, chilaquiles with chorizo, and birria taquitos. The food was pretty hit or miss for me. The guacamole felt a little under-seasoned and could have used more salt and lime. The pork belly eggs Benedict was also quite salty. My favorites were definitely the birria taquitos and parts of the chilaquiles, which I really enjoyed! Drinks: I got the iced vanilla latte with horchata cold foam, while my friend ordered the horchata matcha and a berry mocktail. The drinks were probably my least favorite part. The horchata matcha was a little too sweet for my taste, and I didn't find the drinks to be anything particularly memorable. The cold foam was also an additional $3, which felt a bit pricey for the amount. Service was pretty standard and our overall experience was pleasant. I'm glad we got to try Pradera for our birthday celebration, but personally, I don't think I'd go out of my way to come back. That said, the generous portions and shareable dishes make it a fun option if you're already in the area.

    Brunch with an amazing array of Mexican offerings- delicious! I had a brisket omelette and I want to come here again and again to try the whole menu. I really enjoyed the cafe de olla- just the right amount of sweetness and spice. Service was a little leisurely so don't be in a hurry- just enjoy the vibrant ambiance with colorful murals on the walls and a beautiful light fixture overhead. Parking is easy, as this restaurant is part of a big shopping center. After you eat, explore the Mercado. It's fantastic!

    Came here for breakfast, and wow the inside decor is very elegant and the service was top notch. Our server was amazing and he felt so warm/welcoming! The coffee, frappes and the food had so much flavors within the ingredients, and presentation of the food were vibrant and colorful.

    Mazapan French Toast
    Ivy D.

    I've been here twice now, and had the best experience! First visit: We waited at least 30 minutes to be seated for a party of 2 but the food was worth the wait. - Ahi Tuna Tostada: Delicious and came with a very generous amount of avocado and tuna. It's definitely big enough to share between 2-3 people. My only complaint was that it was very sour/vinegary, more than I personally liked. - Banana Foster Waffles: Delicious combination of flavors. The waffles were thick and on the softer side rather than crispy, but I still really enjoyed them. - Applewood Smoked Brisket Skillet: The brisket was unfortunately pretty dry, but the country potatoes were really good. Second visit: We came at 11:43 AM and were seated about 5 minutes later. This time, I loved everything we ordered! - Breakfast Skillet + Pan-Seared Chicken: Really good. The chicken was much better when eaten with the sauce, which helped bring everything together. - Mazapan French Toast: My favorite menu item so far! I loved the subtle peanut crumble on top, and all the flavors complemented each other really well. The bread was thick and full of flavor. I'll definitely be ordering this again. - Pork Belly Benedict: Loved this and would definitely get it again. The pork belly flavor was SO good and easily the star of the dish. My only wish is that there was a little less fat on the pork belly, but the flavor was really, really good. Overall, my second visit definitely made me want to come back and try more of the menu. I recommend the Mazapan French Toast and Pork Belly Benedict!

    Canasta de la Abuela
    Shinead D.

    Let me start off by saying the entrees were def the peak of this spot! I will take good food over a vibey spot any day! However, there are some things that def could have improved. 1. I order the canasta which can with cookies, conchas, and one diff type of cookie. I expected the conchas to be soft and they were not; they were dry and honestly unappealing. Do not recommend unless maybe you go at the beginning at the beginning of the day. 2. Apparently my meal was going to take an unusual long time to prepare, and instead of asking me before bringing out my partners meal, they brought out all of his food while i waited an extra 10 mins for mine (I ended up switching from the Benedict to Chicharron). Chicharron was so tasty, but I don't quite comprehend why you'd bring out one persons meal instead plating the table all at once. This alone was enough to make me not return. 3. The flavored mimosas were 1/2 juice and 1/2 champagne - def don't recommend ordering, order the champagne with the juice on the side. The aesthetic was solid, nicely decorated and comfy seating. Solid Latin music playing that was reminiscent of my elders music. Giving the food a solid 8/10 but the overall experience was more of a 6/10.

    Smoked Brisket Benedict
    Gio C.

    Really nice spot with a great ambiance! The space itself is beautiful and definitely has a nice brunch vibe. Service was okay overall. I tried the Smoked Brisket Benedict, and while the poached eggs and sauce were really good, the brisket itself was a little thin and dry for me. I kind of wish I had gone with the pork belly instead, but overall it was still enjoyable. We also did a bottle of champagne with the Strawberry Hibiscus and Pepino Lime mixers, which was a fun touch and perfect for brunch. Definitely a nice place to check out for the atmosphere, drinks, and a relaxed brunch with friends.

    Charisma F.

    The food was delicious and so well seasoned! I ordered the chilaquiles with carne asada and an horchata, and everything was so good. The horchata really surprised me because it had peanuts in it, which I've never had before, but I loved it! The inside is super cute with beautiful lighting and decorations that give it such a nice atmosphere. Tania was our waitress and she was amazing! She was so sweet, attentive, and treated us so well throughout our visit. Parking can get a little crowded since the restaurant is located in a large shopping center, but overall we had a great experience. I would definitely come back!

    Tabla Campestre
    Emelin V.

    delicious delicious I got seated outside, it was peak brunch hour but the wait was only like 10 minutes. We got their tabla campestre to share and it was perfect for two. Their strawberry jamaica drink was also a 10/10. Service was also great!

    Lynn L.

    ORDER banana foster pancakes (5/5) THE BEST!! it was so good, but soso sweet. this truly amazed me. definitely a must try if you visit pradera. flat iron steak chilaquiles (4.5/5) both the green and red salsas were so good, so the chilaquiles was yummyl. we got it with the flat iron steak which costed an additional $10. eggs benedict with asada (3/5) breakfast burrito (3/5) im not the biggest fan of eggs benedict, but the asada was quite dry as well. we ate the burrito last so maybe it didn't taste as good because we were so full, but we didn't like the sausage. overall, the burrito was alright. i wouldn't get it next time. horchata matcha (3.5/5) light matcha flavor, but the horchata foam on top was so yummy. the foam tasted like ice cream! overall, i'd definitely come back and recommend to others! the banana foster is a must :P SERVICE nothing special about the service. the server wasn't overly friendly, but wasn't rude or anything either. AMBIANCE very nice inside! there are also tables outside.

    We had an amazing breakfast on a whim. The skillet is so filling it's enough for two people. The coffee is the best and you don't need cream and sugar. Wife got the frap and it taste better than Starbucks. The tres leches pancake was not too sweet and not bland and a perfect amount of fruits. The service is too notch. The ambiance has a Mexican home feel. This is a great place we ran into and will be coming back .

    It was the last day of our trip and we were about to drive home, but I wanted a nice filling breakfast before our long drive. We went the day before memorial Day on a Monday so it might have made this spot a bit busier than normal. It took about 20 minutes after putting our names on the list although it had estimated 10 to 15 min when we had done it. I was happy we were sat outside as it was a lovely day, and the table was this really cool slab of wood that was shaped really beautifully, and overall they really put energy into the aesthetics to make a fun vibe We both got the brisket Benedict. The eggs were perfectly poached, the portion large, and the potatoes on the side nice and crispy. We also added a side of avocado. The overall taste was great, but the brisket on its own would have been a bit dry. As a whole dish though it was delicious. I also got a coconut strawberry smoothie and it tasted great even if it ran a little sweet. My son kept drinking mine, so I had to get a second. It's one of the many California spots that just reminds me that this state seems to have the best brunches. I would definitely come back if in the area again.

    A great new find in Costa Mesa! This brunch spot was an unexpected find that served great Mexican and American dishes. The enchiladas were hearty with fantastic homemade green sauce. The pork belly was cooked perfectly and paired well with fried rice. The restaurant is visually beautiful and does not seem like it's adjacent to a Mercado. It was fun to walk and buy some guacamole and salsa after brunch and shop the Mercado for finds that were included in the brunch dishes. There are about 5 places to eat in the Mercado and we will be back to try them.

    Parking is super easy as it's in a huge plaza! We came for brunch in a Saturday, and the wait time was not bad at all! We had Sam as our server! She was top notch from start to finish! She was super friendly and careful with detail when taking our order like making sure she even got our milk preference for our drinks! The food came out quick, and everything was so delicious! I got the birria beef omelette, and the tres leches waffles!! I can't wait to come back and get this again! I know I'm going to be dreaming of these waffles!!!

    Do you offer any vegan options or easy to modify options to make vegan?

    The menu doesn't denote vegan options so hard to say if anything's truly prepared separately to avoid animal product contact. There appears to be vegetarian options but I wouldn't say anything is strictly vegan unless call and ask specifically.

    Is there a public parking?

    Yes, but because it's next door to Mercado Nothgate, it gets full around 10 am.

With a full page beverage and food menu, MoonGoat is much more than just a place for coffee. They offer a nice variety of food as well. I only wish their selection of desserts and sweets were a bit more expansive and appealing. We ordered the iced Marsala coffee and a latte. The beans were perfectly roasted, delivering a wonderful depth and richness to both drinks. Each cup was smooth, flavorful and thoroughlly enjoyable. We also tried the gluten free pecan cake. I loved that it wasn't overly sweet which allowed the flavorrs to come through naturally. The cake itself was slightly plain, but the generous pecan/toffee topping added the richness and texture it needed and made each bite much more satisfying. I could easily sit here for hours, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and the thoughtfully designed space. It's the kind of coffee shop where you want to slow down, linger and simply enjoy the moment.

The Moon Coffee is a really cute cafe that is decorated head to toe in cutesy stuff. Jellycats, knickknacks, and most importantly, great seating.

Great sweetness, good milk, and perfectly balanced between bitter and grassy. I'm very happy to have a matcha spot in this part of Costa Mesa. Now, that being said, what prompted my review was actually looking at their retail shelf. There was coffee from Loquat, DAK, and Tanat just to name a few. Heavy hitters in the specialty space for sure. I had mentioned to the barista behind the counter whether they are hard-focused on supplying great pourovers or espresso. She said they didn't really use those coffees on the shelf in the store itself, but offered me a doubleshot as a sample! I was so grateful, and it was a very nice interaction to have with someone.

They do have a good amount of seating and free WiFi to catch up with friends or get work done.

I've literally tried 3 separate times and been told they simply ran out of tomatoes. If it's that inconsistent, I'd hope they'd take it off their menu and post it as a special. But what bothers me the most is that the service is so nonchalant that it comes off as rude.

Sad to see the experience decline as it's been a favorite of mine and somewhere i always have hyped up to friends. Hopefully things pick up.
