After a memorial service we wanted breakfast and candidly I wasn't looking for Mexican food, but we are glad we discovered Rey's. Can't say we didn't know about it. We pass by a lot with the greenway trail nearby and the antique emporium next door. Staff were super nice and friendly. Service from order to plate deliver was quick. I have the nopales and eggs. Super flavorful and the side salad gave the right amount t of kick. Wifey had the French toast with bacon and eggs. I had to sneak a bite of the bacon. Very good. We definitely will be back. Very charming home style cafe with plenty of pics on the walls that I am sure have stories. read more

I ordered online ahead and it was ready when I got there. I was disappointed when I saw it was the really thick bread but it tasted pretty good. I would order it again. It was yummy. They didn't use fresh fruit, but they use strawberry jam and pulled it off. The bacon and scrambled eggs were good too. read more

We had been here before and we thought is was a bit below average, but decided to give it a chance; we thought it would be better. I was glad I could order a small meal since I can't eat much, but the tiny pancakes were dry and the sausage hard. My husband ordered the chilaquiles and carne asada and the meat was bland the rest was just ok. I asked for water and it had a horrible taste. My tap water at home is better. Too bad because this restaurant is close to home and we would like to support local, small business. Service was ok. We had to keep asking for things. The place is a bit loud. read more

Homespun restaurant on the same lot as King Richard's Antique Center. I have seen this restaurant many times on my way in to King Richard's but I always saw a line outside waiting to get in. On an early Sunday morning, I made my way to Rey's and was greeted and seated immediately. I noticed the many, many photos on the wall that told a story of happy customers. It was obvious that the people that came to Rey's came to experience more than the food. They came to be comfortable and to be recognized. We ordered the following: * Breakfast Asada plate with rice and beans, over easy egg, and corn tortillas. * Veggie Lovers Omelette with crispy hash browns and wheat toast. The food was delicious and the service was great. However, It's the ambience and the service that I feel has customers coming back. It's a cozy place to spend Sunday mornings. Parking is very limited as the small parking lot is shared with King Richard's. Street parking is available too. Enjoy your visit! read more

First walking in, I liked the history and pictures all over the restaurant it really shows off the history of this restaurant and has a old school vibe to it. It was a really hot day so the restaurant was a little warm but not uncomfortably hot. The waitress was nice and checked on us regularly. The food on the other hand was ok, my friend got a breakfast burrito which was pretty tasty, you get a'lot of value considering most breakfast burritos are almost 20$. I got the Polish Sausage & Eggs Plate which was just an average breakfast plate, Hashbrowns were a little cold. I would give this place another chance but if i'm gonna spend almost 40$ on brunch, the food better be worth it. read more

Hidden gem in the city of whittier! I was recommended by a coworker and definitely would recommend to others! The food here is 10/10 specifically theyre chilaquiles, machaca, and stuffed french toast. The servers are always friendly however they do get busy at times and wait time can get a little long. Only thing that might push business away is parking as its shared with a very popular antique shop. read more

I came here in a bad mood and it turns out all I needed was delicious home cooking. I ordered the French toast breakfast and coffee and it was what I needed. Maybe I was caffeine and food deprived but my mood flipped. I also loved that right next to me was El Chavo and Chillindrina so I giggled. This place feels like home and Aurora is so sweet. I came on a weekday so it wasn't busy but I can imagine it being packed on the weekend. Where your walking shoes cause King Richard's Antique Mall is next door so walk off you breakfast! read more

Mom and Pop spot with divey vibes in an excellent location right next to King Richard's antiques. Decent menu, great service and convenient whenever I'm antique hunting. I was greeted and seated immediately...my server was extremely friendly and attentive. She even brought me a sample of their new Aguas Frescas flavor - guava. And if you like guava you'll love it - very nice level of guava flavor - but it was definitely too sweet for me and I'm not a huge fan of guava flavored things - but still worth a try. For my lunch I got one of my faves - taco salad - and it hit the spot. They give you choice of meat so I went with the carnitas and it was fantastic- some of the best carnitas I've ever had I think - very generous amount and it was tender, slightly roasted on the outside and so flavorful. I loved it and there wasn't an overwhelming amount of salad - it was just right. They didn't offer any salad dressing which I thought was odd but were happy to bring me a side of ranch when asked. No biggie. Prices are a tad high, but they all seem high to me nowadays lol! The tables and cutlery were clean enough but my water came in a very worn plastic glass which I hate and the cleanliness of it was dubious at best. My lunch plate was also broken is several places and if you go to the bathroom don't look around too much lol. Parking is very limited in terribly tight spaces but there's also street parking. They're doing a lot of construction at King Richard's right now so that adds to the parking chaos. read more

Found this place via Yelp and the service was incredible. Love that it's a cozy home feel inside. We started with some good coffee and placed our orders for some breakfast. My husband got a traditional eggs and potatoes breakfast which he said was delicious, he really liked the mild salsa that accompanied on the side. I ordered a nopal dorado plate that came with tortillas and an amazing spicy salsa, I asked for a cooked Serrano on the side and they got it to me quickly which was perfect with the plate. The waitress let me know for the future you can ask for certain plates to be spicier than usual if requested. Love that! Great spot, can't wait to come back with my family. Great prices and portions and they have nice outdoor seating. read more

This is definitely a breakfast place. I've had the pleasure to eat here several times when in Whitter but I remembered today that I always had breakfast and the selections and food were always excellent. But today, I had lunch and I was beyond disappointed. They didn't have chicken for chicken tacos, they do not have real guacamole so taquitos and asada tacos were out of the question so I settled on the crispy beef tacos. The beef was dry and old and the tortillas were stale and chewy. The service was great. Next time, I will stick with the breakfast selections. read more

if you want to feel heaven on earth, come to this place I don't think I've ever had food this good and that says a lot. The food here made my toes curl to the max. The service here astronomical I don't think I've ever been treated this well even by my own mother. The scenery, beautiful I look over to one side and see a fat Mexican kid, smiling ear to ear. That's how you know the food is gonna be good. I came here with 10 of my friends and we all got our food under 20 minutes wow. I'm not big on breakfast but from now on I'm going here as often as I can. I don't care if my cholesterol rises. This is probably the best place I've ever had food at thank you. read more

Came here hungry after a nice hike with my husband and our dog. We chose Rey's after seeing they have an outdoor patio and good yelp reviews. One positive review mentioned it had "divey vibes" which to me usually means they do a good breakfast! We got there around 10:30, perfect time to beat the church crowd, we got a table right away. The service was great! Very welcoming and friendly. Felt like home. Ambiance can be considered "divey" but I mean that in that in the best way, we love that vibe. The food was great! Their plates remind me of homestyle Mexican food I had growing up. Comforting, no frills. Just straight forward delicious. Great laid back spot after a hike! read more

Empty restaurant. First bad sign. Ordered a bacon burrito. I guess they ran out of bacon & forgot to tell me. I don't remember ordering half raw/half cooked potatoes & burnt eggs but I guess I did cuz that's exactly what I got. Then again, waiting for 2 burritos for almost 15 minutes in the middle of an empty restaurant can mess with your memory. I heard a rumor from the waitress that sometimes they put cheese in the burritos, but I guess that must be on Fridays. Never again. read more

Meh, after my second time going, probably not going back…read more Ambiance was nice. Drink options are limited. It is personally weird to me that a restaurant that has its own brewery doesn't brew their own stouts or pilsners. In terms of spirits, they only have tequila, so you can only get tequila-based cocktails. At that point I was asking myself, "why have a liquor license and only have one kind of liquor?!" Service was pretty slow. Went on a Friday night and they were packed, so that makes sense. But even when the room started to clear, service was still slow. Only thing that was fast was when they came to pick up the bill payment. But I'm willing to believe they were understaffed band I came in at rush. Food was okay. They don't really have any light options aside from salad, and they have very few chicken options, and I think they only cut they have is chicken thigh. Their concha bread pudding had a really stiff texture, and the ice cream scoop on top tasted and felt freezer burned (but I accept this could be an intentional reinterpretation). Was a nice experience, but the food, drinks, and service were lacking.

The restaurant was simple in decor and unfortunately the air conditioning was not working effectively. So it was almost uncomfortably warm during our visit. We ordered a margarita, lemonade, oysters and calamari to start. The margarita was fine and not strong. The calamari was good, unfortunately there is onion included in the mix and made up most of the small portion. The calamari sauce was really good and different from the usual marinara sauce. The oysters were great, cold and fresh. Definitely order those. For our mains, we ordered the tuna poke taco, pork belly taco, and the brunch burger. The poke taco looked promising but was overwhelmed by the guacamole. The fish itself was fresh and had good flavor. The pork belly taco on the other hand was really good and packed with flavor. Caution with the onion though. The burger was another fine choice but nothing notable. Lastly, the check we wanted to share to be aware that if paying with card to expect a 4% charge. Not sure if this is normal practice and this place is being transparent or it's something to watch out for. In summary, if going for the first time we'd recommend the oysters and pork belly tacos for sure. Staff were great and place is clean. At this time we are not sure if we'd try this spot again soon, but perhaps maybe during the evening to get a different perspective.

From the corner of my eye I saw a small sign reading Greenleaf Cafe. I was hungry so I found an easy parking spot on the Main Street. As I approached I could see there were people inside. I immediately thought ok that's a good sign this place must be ok. A podium stood in front of the door with a list requesting I placed my name on it. Fortunately, I was the only one there, and my name was at the top of the list. As I sat waiting, many people began to arrive. They all appeared to know the routine and took a seat outside the restaurant in the waiting area. So after I was called in and provided with a window seat near the rear of the restaurant and a menu. I requested a coffee which was soon provided along with chips and salsa. The coffee was average as were the chips and salsa. As I reviewed the menu, I saw they provided the usual breakfast favorites. The prices appear to be average. I decided to go with chorizo and egg, which was accompanied by beans and rice. Once the food arrived, I requested a spicier salsa. The spicy salsa was the highlight of the meal. The food was good, not amazing. Reminiscent of something you would make it home. I saw many people indulging in a bowl of Menudo. This appeared to be a favorite meal at this location. I will return one day to try the Menudo. Service was slow and not attentive. Parking was easy, the food and prices were average. I would return here soulie to satisfy a Mexican breakfast craving. Minus two stars for inattentive service. Three stars for easy parking, a great hot salsa and a clean welcoming location.

When we arrived, the hostess notified us that they were accepting walk ups and reservations didn't matter. We waited over an hour to be seated. Initially, they sat us separately at two booths. This is unacceptable on Mother's Day when we were trying to celebrate our Grandmother. Thankfully, our waiter was able to clear a spot on the patio. Following being seated, the waiter did not come. I got up and asked if they could come to our table because we have two diabetic family members. The host I spoke with said he would send someone, but there was some attitude. Our waiter came and was kind, but the whole experience has been awful. We waited over an hour and twenty five minutes after being seated for our food to arrive, and they didn't bring it all out at once. My pancakes ended up having a hair in them and had to be sent back. We have since asked for a manager to come to the table 2x, and they have not come. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone. It has ruined our last Mother's Day with our grandmother before she moves away later this year. Over two hours wasted total waiting to be seated and for our food to arrive.

The food is still great, the flavors are still there, and at the end of the day, it's still Phlight. A new location and a new atmosphere, but the same place that has kept us coming back for 13 years.

We came to celebrate a birthday. Waiters were fine but they served us a steak that had a weird odor. Gave it try because maybe it was something else and the steak was bad. It left a bad taste in my mouth all morning. I had no appetite after that. I was so grossed out I felt like vomiting. They didn't apologize but they didn't make us pay for it which was the least they could do. We also ordered cheese enchiladas with papas and beans and I could tell it was sitting for a while before it got served to us because it wasn't hot. Unfortunately, we had a bad experience. We will never come back here again. read more

She recommended red ones although everyone orders the green ones. They tasted amazing the tortilla triangles where perfect not soggy at all with a crunch to them.
