    I've been to the Garden Grove location multiple times and honestly, the last couple of times I was left deterred from going back as the food quality had started to lack. This new location is truly a breath of fresh air - the food quality is just the same, if not better than I remember it. This location is HUGE, with tons of indoor and outdoor seating. Everything is new so everything is clean pretty. The wait staff is on point and definitely catering to you, I can anticipate that this might change as they become busier. I ordered the cafe de olla (a cinnamon infused coffee) to drink and was warned that it was on the sweeter side - I definitely agree that it was. I added some half and Half, which helped but it was still a little sweet for me. My husband got a pineapple and spinach which was super tasty; the spinach balanced out the tartness of the pineapple and was refreshing to the taste. I got my usually, the chilaquiles with grilled chicken and a side of beans. This was DELICIOUS - perfect in every bite. I hate when the tortilla chips get soggy from the sauce and these definitely didn't. The sauce was not spicy in my opinion and paired perfectly with the crispy chips. They had a great amount of sour cream and cheese. The grilled chicken was cooked to perfection. I loved it and was glad to taste these flavors again. My husband got the torta de chicken Milanesa and it was also perfect. The bread size has definitely decreased over the years but the flavor was there. Crispy breaded chicken, with fresh lettuce, tomato, and mayo - yummy. I am so glad they went back to their roots and hope the continue to keep this quality of food and service. I will be back!!!

    Chilaquiles: no onions and no sour cream

    Hubby and I went on a Friday morning and it was empty so we were a little apprehensive. But it became a private morning date reminiscent of our Mexico vacations. All the furniture was hand crafted wood art Service: We were created upon entry and immediately offered beverages. We asked questions about food choices and ultimately decided on their famous chilaquiles. We plan on coming back with the family! Food: We both got carne asada chilaquiles with a side of rice and beans to share. The steak the tender!!! The green chile sauce was perfect, a nice little kick. Cafe de Olla was perfect, no cream needed!

    Seating Area

    I used to frequent their Garden Grove location but moved to this area recently and SO happy to have an S&J nearby. Trust me when I say EVERYTHING here is good. You can't go wrong with any selection on the menu and this location is just as good as the GG one. Their cafe de olla is to die for. Service is always great. Very spacious. Plenty of tables. No wait!

    Huevos Moltuleños

    Wanted to give this place a try. City of Orange native " miss El Mariachi " ... anyways Had the Huevos Divorciados Red sauce is a little extra spicy We also tried the Huevos Tarasco "This was the best choice of the three we tried " And also had the Huevos Motuleños also very good. Plantains were a good touch. The Horchata is the best in town. Also had the Aqua Fresca de Fresa ( strawberry) ... Had the Cafe de la olla... Place is big with lots of seating. Forget our waiters name ... I did ask because I wanted to give him props. Forgot... Sorry Bro , but thanks for the great service. See you again on Saturday. Give this place a try, we did and " SOO GLAD WE DID ". You will too !! See you there !

    Cafe de olla (one sip and )
    Blanca A.

    First time here and we started of with Cafe de olla (delicious coffee ) and are awaiting for the carne asada chilaquiles

    Chapin

    Service was Great with recommendations. Food was Amazing. And then there's the Zapata Latte Cacahuate coffee..Yum!!

    Huevos Tarasco

    Had a great meal! My husband had Huevos Tarasco and loved it. I had the Beef Milanese Torta, and it was exactly what I have been looking for. The service was great. The coffee was good and offer three different types of creamer. We are already making plans to come back.

    Green chillaquiles with asada, and pineapple with spinach Agua fresca.

    This is a newer location just as great as the one in garden grove. My favorite are the green chilaquiles with asada mild spicy but flavor is delicious. The Agua frescas are definitely a must so fresh. Service was also great.

    Receipt of order.

We were a party of 10 and they offered to take our orders at the table instead of ordering at the counter. The server was also willing to do individual checks! That was really accommodating. There is a wide selection of menu items. It's been fun to try something different each time. My Short Rib Omelette was very tasty and flavorful. It was a good sized meal. I couldn't even finish it. My iced lavender latte was perfect. It hit the spot. A great place for brunch but make sure you come early. It gets crowded.

For what it's…read moreworth, I like the ordering system where you go up to the counter to order before finding a seat since it made it much easier to split our bill. For the price, they give you a good amount of food. I got the egg scramble with ham and cheddar cheese. It came with toast (my husband picked sourdough for me) that was buttered and had a bit of jam on the side. It also had hash browns. The food was delicious and filling. My husband got a breakfast burrito in which he forgot sometimes he isn't a fan of them because they overload with potatoes, but he said he really enjoyed this one. Considering I'm also pregnant in my first trimester, I was so glad they had milk to help with my calcium intake. All in all, I would definitely come back here given the chance. (I'm from the Bay Area in Northern California so visiting regularly isn't quite feasible.)

The server was very kind and helpful, he was communicative and attentive. And the food! The food was great! It tasted good, AND seemed healthy and nutritious. Also, I appreciated their variety of options. I have a dairy allergy, and am often quite limited in what I can comfortably/safely eat, especially going out for breakfast. But here, they had multiple alternative dairy options! I even was able to get an oat milk latte! I will definitely be back. Love this place and am so glad they opened up this location.

Service was friendly and quick. Restrooms are available inside. Hot lattes were delicious but more so "WARM LATTES" and not actually HOT /: which was disappointing but the flavor was good. We got the coffee flight: Pistachio, Chocolate, & Horchata. Food was good but it lacked seasoning - i definitely had to add quite a bit of salt and hot sauce to enjoy it. I would probably go somewhere else if I wanted eggs Benedict. We ordered the Birria eggs Benedict and the chilaquiles. It was good but nothing exciting, I would order something else next time or go to a different breakfast spot. But overall, I left happy but not full.
