Love it here! Food is yummy and the people are all so nice and cool! We even have some special orders etc and it's never a problem!

We ate at this restaurant yesterday morning after seeing great reviews online. We loved our breakfast. The food was so good and they had really generous proportions. Also, the food was packed with flavor and had food items that complemented each other really well. The service was really accommodating. We got there a little before an hour of closing and did not feel rushed to leave. We were served within 15 minutes of ordering. We were checked in on regularly and made sure that our toddler felt comfortable while eating by offering a booster seat and proving utensils that were best suited for him. The atmosphere was lovely and had a great selection of music. The restaurant was clean and decorated beautifully. read more

Love to try the place but don't open till 8:00. Wtf. For a place that serve breakfast and doesn't open till 8:00am is a joke.

Food is great as always, the service is so much better than years back. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Reasonably priced down home cooking with huge portions and great service. The interior is cozy and cute. Their bacon was cooked perfectly and so were the hashbrowns that came with the huevos rexeros. I didn't see the need for two types of beans with one dish but they were both tasty and just made for more delicious leftovers. read more

Great place very good food I highly recommend this place you'll love it alway amazing!

My son and I were visiting and looking to enjoy breakfast together. We stayed at a nice hotel down the street and were surprised how quickly the scenery changed. Anyways, it was a little warm inside because of all the cooking so I wanted to sit on the tiny patio outside. What a mistake that was. Two bums rolled up on us TWICE asking for food/ help/something. The first time, the waiter was trying to get them away from us and used a menu to block us. The second time the same bum came back So I had to yell at her since she startled me. I couldn't believe she came back! There's not much space between the patio and the side walk so she just strolled right up again! I was so upset and wanted to quickly leave. What if she would've tried to attack me or spit on me or my son? The food was pretty good and the service wasn't bad. But the ambiance was AWFUL! They should find a way to block that patio off completely to block the unappealing view/neighborhood and any unwanted visitors read more

Cute cafe on busy Pacific Ave. The food came out quickly and it was okay. The sausage had been sliced lengthwise and was grilled so it was a little dry. The french toast was made on thickly sliced squaw bread so it was tasty and filling. The coffee was a little mild for my taste, but it was hot. My complaint and reason for the 3-star review was based primarily on service. There were 2 servers working both dining areas so coffee refills both of them were milling around the entire restaurant and although the restaurant was small, they had difficulty serving timely. I waited 5 minutes trying to get their attention for a refill. The other issue regarding employees was about the busser. He kept coming into the restaurant and was very loud while talking with a particular customer. He was also walking around whistling a high pitched non-song...just making noise. I found it very annoying. All in all it wasn't a bad breakfast, it was just okay, hence 3 stars. I'd still give it a try though because maybe your experience will be better. read more

Great service. The breakfast quesadilla was the standout. Nice fruit side with our omelette. The stuffed French toast was promising but not as good as I hoped. read more

Horrible customer service. If I could give them zero stars I would. One of the servers who is working there today Monday 9-2-2024, closed the door in our faces telling us that the owner decided to close early since they were busy all morning. She was extremely rude in the way she spoke to us. I'll never go here again! read more

Had the chilaquiles and the pumpkin spice latte(both were bomb!) And with chilaquiles it's usually a hit or miss so considering how good the meal was I'll probably be back for the steak and eggs or ham and eggs The latte was good and the cup was hilariously huge that it came in lol. The red potatoes were seasoned just right Never ate here before and wasn't disappointed read more

I've always been a fan of Rex's, even from the very first time, but l haven't been as many times as I would have liked, mostly because of the crowds. Rex's is a small neighborhood restaurant and on weekends and holidays, it can be packed...especially on the weekends. I drive by and see people sitting outside waiting for a table and even more people walking up to join the line. Of course, that's always a good thing; that the lines are there. They are open 7am-2pm. I usually go on a weekday morning, if I can. Otherwise, if I go on the weekend, I go when they first open. The food is consistently good. Their muffins are amazing and they come out warm and served with butter. They have unique flavors like Blueberry Almond, Strawberry Coconut, Carrot Raisin, and Lemon Sesame. I've had their coffee (nice and strong) and specialty lattes, like Hazelnut or Caramel and they are delicious! I like that this restaurant caters to all types of eaters. Whether you eat meat or not, they have something for you. At a time when I was taking a break from eating meat, I would often come here and get a breakfast dish that had the Soy-rizo in it. I love chorizo, so I was very happy to order the Soy-rizo and eggs. I loved the fact that it wasn't greasy and it tasted exactly the same! They serve items like pancakes, French Toast, steak and eggs, oatmeal, granola and yogurt, and several different omelets and scramblers. If you're vegetarian, they offer everything from tofu, veggie, and soy-rizo options. They have breakfast sandwiches and burritos, wraps and quesadillas, and they also serve lunch. They have several different sandwiches, from a Grilled Mediterranean Sandwich, Tuna Melt, and Steak Sandwich to a Turkey Bacon Melt, BLT, and Club Sandwich. They serve burgers, wraps, and salads, as well as soups. Their Black Bean Chili is to die for! read more

Overall: My favorite breakfast spot in San Pedro! Definitely a family home feel. You will see Many of the same familiar faces for many years. This place is only open mornings, but their products are very fresh. Their menu is very extensive which include early lunch entree's. Food: My favorite thing is the Stuffed French Toast! Unfortunately, they sometimes run out of their product so they can't make them. But, their omelettes and salsa are pretty good. Service: They are usually swamped, but they still manage to give pretty good service. They are usually attentive to our needs. Environment: The inside is usually, and the bathroom is spotless. I don't like how you need to pass the employees work area, but the inside looks pretty neat. Parking: The street parking is not so good. I sometimes need to park around the street on 22nd to find somewhere to park. Regardless, it's worth the inconvenience. read more

Food is decent for breakfast, they are quick at bringing your food out hot. Not bad prices. read more

We came in and tried the stuffed French toast and the machaca burrito as well as a Mexican hot chocolate. The best thing was easily the hot chocolate. It was huge and, unlike many places that serve hot chocolate, actually worth the price. The burrito was decent but barely had any meat in it and the hashbrowns on the side were barely warm and more like mashed potatoes on the inside which was weird. The bacon was ok? Kinda hard to mess that one up I guess. Stuffed french toast was good but nothing special. read more

**NICE SPOT FOR BREAKFAST IN SAN PEDRO** 3.5 stars PARKING ======== Street parking can be challenging but you'll find a spot with some patience. AMBIANCE ========= Country-like, homey feels. Bright, clean, and welcoming. Unfortunately we sat in front of the cashier - people kept bumping into my chair. Note: Very clean bathroom. FOOD ===== STUFFED FRENCH TOAST (with choices of meat and 2 eggs) - $10.95 Squaw bread filled with cream cheese, almonds, bananas, topped with fresh strawberries or bananas was mediocre for me. Bread was dry. Needed jam filling and more butter instead of cream cheese for better taste. RATING: 3/5 The husband ordered Huevos Rancheros and he mentioned they were OK as well. SERVICE ======= Great service, very accommodating and asked the right questions with our orders. RATING: 4/5 OVERALL ======= Nice diner experience in San Pedro, would not go out of my way if I wasn't in San Pedro to eat here - but satisfied with my experience. read more

Rex's Cafe - Stuffed French toast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Pedro, California

Located on a corner somewhat. Every time I come here I tend to order the stuffed French toast with eggs and sausage. The waitress was kind and informative. The stuffed French toast had bananas and strawberries on it. Fresh and flavor. The eggs were cooked to perfection and the sausage was tasty as well. This is a great spot to check out for breakfast read more

Good portobello Mushroom Omelet and stuffed French toast . Not a great area homeless shelter near by lots of drug addicts around and mentally ill. Not safe to park your car around there and no parking lot if you live close enough to walk do so . Only open till 2 pm . Go early if you go. read more

Cute location but the food and service was not up to par. In my opinion, the food had no flavor or no real spices. It did come out fast but I almost wish they had took more time to prepare a good meal. The service wasn't great but I can understand because there was only one server working so can't fault them for that. Overall I had high hopes but this wasn't it. read more

The Rex is the best steak restaurant in the South Bay. Much better value that Arthur J or Steak & Whisky. Cocktails are very good as are the salads and sides but steak is the show here. The Tour of Beef is such simple genius for those that like NY Strip + Filet + Ribeye. Why chose when you can have all 3?! I'm late to the party here, the place is packet. Get a reservation we'll in advance. Generally it seems like Hollywood Riviera has as good or better dinner options than Manhattan Beach but at a better value. Hermosa is just lost in between. read more

Great menu, staff, and service. Great food! Try them, you will not be sorry.............so, there ya go.

Who doesn't love waking up for a delicious breakfast at Rex's? Their portions are generous and each dish tastes fresh and flavorful. I enjoyed an egg white fajita omelet with fruit and sesame lemon muffin. It was absolutely delightful! They have wonderful fresh coffee as well. The wait can get long but I say TROOP IT OUT. You will not regret it. read more

Rex's Cafe - Egg white chicken fajita omelet. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Pedro, California

Want to start with saying that the only reason we came here was because a friend recommended that we try it out. It was just overall a let down. All the reviews about the, "lady with the glasses," are true. This lady probably doesn't mean it, but she sure seems to have an attitude. (Perhaps it's just the way she is.) Our service experience was not so great. Next up was the pricing, every dish is at least $14 for a small portion. Next is the parking; we came here in an early time on Sunday at about 7:55am; NO PARKING! Also, if you're ordering soda, don't expect refills as you will only be able to get them by the can. Last, but least is the extra $1 charge if you're paying with a card. Now I do want say that the food was terrible; I just don't think this is a place to go out of your way. The Eggs and Bennys that I had at least expected the eggs to be runny; they were instead fully cooked yolk on the inside. Non-the-less, still edible. Overall not a place I want to visit because of the low caliber of service, inconvenient parking, and overpriced menu. I would recommend just heading to your local Wendy's or Jack in the Box and find something on their app. read more

We love Rex's! It's just a couple of blocks from our home, but we'd travel clear across 'Pedro for breakfast at Rex's if we lived further. Service is always prompt, attentive and friendly. The fruit side is always fresh and tasty, and the muffins are real comfort food. read more

I came here to try it with my friend. It's one of her all time favorites. I was pleasantly surprised at the lack of parking in the area but was able to find a spot in the morning, on the street. Coming in, it's a small house styled looking restaurant. There are about 15 or so tables. The menu is pretty straight forward, as well as the service. It wasn't very crowded because it was so early in the morning but after we left, man, there was a line! She tells me that there's usually a line out the door and around the corner. Jeez! I'd like to definitely try this spot again. It had some quality ingredients and my food came to the table piping hot! All of their items looked really good. I kept eyeing food as it was walked by to other tables. De-lic-ious! read more

Great potential!! I loved the cute cafe vibe and the menu was good. Slight tweaks to cooking and service could make this a go-to. To be fair, I'm an attention to detail person and many people are not. For starters, they had specialty coffee on the menu e.g. latte, mocha (which is still a latte), syrups, and a Mexican coffee. I asked if I could get the Mexican coffee as a latte...he told me they are two different things that latte means it's a shot. (Actually it means with milk....espresso is the shot). It could have easily been done but I didn't want to fuss so I just ordered the coffee and an OJ...never got the OJ. Ordered my eggs over medium and got over easy....or less. Runny egg whites.... Banana nut muffin was good! Hash brows had no flavor. The pancake my husband got was massive! Overall fine experience. read more

Had the chorizo omelette which tasted good. The had browns did not taste good as they seemed to have been cooked in old oil. Service was pretty good and coffee was good. read more

Finally revisited this place and it is slipping in both food quality and service. The server was simply neglectful and clueless. Despite this, we were very nice to her thinking she was busy & we were happy to be out considering the state of the world. But looking at my last review and others, bad service seems to be the norm here. I ordered a Mediterranean omelet. It should have been sprinkled w Feta cheese but they stuffed the Feta inside AND it was generously sprinkled on top. I never ever thought I would say these words but that is "too much cheese!" Feta has a strong taste and thus should ONLY be sprinkled on the out side. In addition, there was Salsa of some sort on the side-what is that about? The fruit cup which I raved about last time was tasteless and had the banana seed in it-gross! I also ordered whole wheat toast-and received white & had to ask someone else to fix that mistake because the server disappeared after tossing the food down. The server did not ask immediately as she placed the food down if we needed anything else because if she did I could have addressed it then. The person that brought me the second toast did not bring whole wheat either. So either they do not have it and lack the integrity to tell you they do not, or do not know what it is. Considering that all other bread but whole wheat is unhealthy, I was perturbed but trying to be cool indulged in the unhealthy product. But they gave me 1 tiny butter-not even the size of the usual "pat". It was only enough for 1/4 of the fake wheat bread so I had to get up and ask for more because if I was going to eat bad I was going to go all out. :P The bus boy cleared my plate with his face one foot from mine despite all the "6 feet away signs" He asked if he could clear it and before I could answer there was his face! Whoa-Uncool & unsafe for both of us during this pandemic! He dunno where I have been-I have been around! :P The check was left on the table and we had a credit card on top of it waiting for a long while. We soon gave up on the lazy woman and got out cash so we could get out of there. I had to leave my seat 3 times during the meal because we were so neglected. We were not checked on once. Pretty sure this is a family run place so I guess we are stuck w it if we go there. It is not like they will counsel a family member for their poor performance. Awful service-1. Food 3=score 2. read more

I stopped by for a quick breakfast before my meeting. This restaurant has plenty of seating and is family owned. I was surprised to be the only one in the restaurant. I ordered the two eggs, two pancakes, two sausage plate and a coffee for $19. The price seemed a bit high (but maybe it's just inflation now). The food was very good and the server was polite. Parking is easy in front or the side street. read more

This place is definitely a hidden gem! We came to this cafe randomly because we were in the area for a wedding. I honestly didn't expect everything to be so great! Normally I'm very particular and can find something that I don't like but after coming here I was completely satisfied. We ordered the stuffed French toast and breakfast quesadilla which were cooked perfectly and they got all of our substitutions correct as well. As for the drinks we ordered a cafe latte and an orange juice (which is real fresh squeezed) and they were so good! The service was also very exceptional. The servers even helped us pack up our leftovers. Overall we were very happy with our visit and even tho we're not from the area we will make it a point to come here when we are. read more
