    Was in the area and checked Yelp for a breakfast suggestion. Sunny Up Cafe showed great reviews so I tried it. Located inside an Auto Spa/Gas Station it makes good use of its space. There are several booths for seating and orders are taken at the counter. I had the Breakfast Platter with eggs, bacon, turkey sausage, hash browns and toast. I also ordered an Oat Milk Latte with Vanilla. The food was done perfect! Lightly seasoned and basted eggs, flavorful bacon and toast that was perfectly buttered and crisp. They also have at least 4 different hot sauces to choose from. And... the Latte was one of the best I have had anywhere! My order was taken by Daniel and he also made the Latte. His attitude and attentiveness were exemplary. I look forward to returning again as the menu has many tasty looking items.

    Chilaquiles Platter
    Stacy S.

    I was craving chilaquiles for breakfast and did a quick search on my Yelp app. Many Mexican restaurants popped up, but this one caught my eye because it appeared to have excellent reviews and it was located inside the Chevron gas station mini mart! The cross streets are RSM Pkwy and Alton Pkwy in Foothill Ranch. I checked their menu online and decided to order pick up to go. I ordered the chilaquiles and chose rib eye for my protein, red sauce and my eggs over easy for $12.99. Yes you read that right! I couldn't believe how reasonably priced all of their items were! One thing to note is that they do charge a service fee. I'm not sure if it's a flat fee or a percentage of the total cost, but mine came out to $2.50. Nevertheless, $16.50 is a great price for chilaquiles! It took around 20 min for my food to be ready. The guy behind the counter was very friendly and offered me a free hibiscus tea drink since it was my first time there! The chilaquiles came with queso fresco, pico de gallo, sour cream, avocado & onions. It also came with potatoes & beans. And let me tell you... they were one of the best chilaquiles I've ever had! The red sauce was so delicious and all of the ingredients came together perfectly. My only wish is that the corn chips didn't get soggy so fast, but that's a minor thing. The overall taste was outstanding! I will definitely return soon to try some of their other items!

    Daniel is a great host.  Brought me my breakfast and an ice water.

    Daniel was a great host. I had two street tacos. Al pastor was delicious and so was the carne asada. I was gifted a black bean tostada this was perfect. I added a mix of the habenero and tomatillo salsa. My mouth is still tingling. They have a high end coffee machine and the coffee is HOT and perfect. Picnic tables to sit on. More of a take out crowd. I don't know why I only think of them when I'm having my car repaired.

    Sunny Up Cafe is inside Chevron ExtraMile mini mart
    Ed L.

    Sunny Up Cafe is located inside the Chevron ExtraMile mini mart, where Charro used to be. It has a limited menu that I would describe as Am-Mex. There are omelettes, pancakes and French toast, as well as burritos and chilaquiles. Most items are $15. It does offer a couple daily special items for less. It doesn't have many tables like a diner such as Denny's. You order from the counter first then find a table to sit down to eat or take it to go. Basically a place for a quick meal.

    My friends recommended this place as a new spot for us to try out. It's located within the ExtraMile gas station and it just recently opened. For the place to be located in a gas station, I wasn't expecting not only the food to taste that good but I didn't expect the portion sizes to be that big either!! I only paid about $5 for my taco and it filled my entire plate and my appetite. The woman who was helping to serve was on top of her game! The moment I came in, she greeted me with a Good Morning and a smile. After taking my order and serving the other girls, she was still so attentive and friendly and accommodating. I wish I got her name, but I wanted to say THANK YOU for your kindness (I'll get your name the next time I come in!) Overall, for the first time, I give it a 4/5! Only because my meat was a little on the dry end. But I look forward to trying Sunny Up again!

    Update. Sunny up cafe stays open later on weekends and has added street tacos to the menu.

    Street tacos and tostada.
    Peter H.

    Stopped in at the recommendation of a coworker. The place did not fail to impress with the food. Small little spot hidden inside the Chevron gas station. Two street tacos pastor and asada, and the chiliquias. They tossed in a tostada on the house. Beans were flavorful, the meat was perfectly cooked with no traces of gritty fat. Not only good flavor, but the after bite had good flavor and left me wanting more. I will be back. Additionally, the staff were nice and friendly.

    Omg guys I'm just got a burger w/ fries and to be honest is the best burger I ever had..

    The Chilaquiles

    It's in a gas station but guess what don't let that fool you cause the food is amazing and you can taste the home feel in the food. Everything taste like it was natural and made from scratch. The service was so great and coolest ppl you will meet here. Highly recommend and will be coming back when I'm in the area again.

    La Tia Tacos was a great find! I recently stopped in and was pleasantly surprised by both the…read morequality and value. I tried their birria special, and it was absolutely delicious--tender, flavorful, and exactly what I was hoping for. I was also excited to discover they serve margaritas, and they did not disappoint. Great food and great drinks are always a winning combination. What really stood out to me was the pricing. Even when it's not Taco Tuesday, the menu is very reasonably priced, which is becoming harder and harder to find these days. Between the delicious food, tasty margaritas, and affordable prices, La Tia Tacos has definitely earned a return visit from me. Highly recommended!

    I had been seeing La Tia Tacos popping up here in South OC. Curiosity got the kids and I when we…read moresaw that they had birria. We have our go-to Mexican joints down here and typically stick to them, but recently had to add La Tia Tacos to our rotation. La Tia Tacos in Foothill Ranch, is in the town center's food court where Rubio's used to be. La Tia's is bright and airy, colorful and modern. The restaurant space has dining inside and outdoors in their own patio as well as the food court seating. There is an awesome salsa bar off to the side. The salsas and veggies are all home made from scratch. They're absolutely delicious. Refillable drinks are available at the soda fountain, some in bottles at the register too, but the star beverage for me is that fresh brewed tea. I have to get a large cup every time in case they start closing up and toss it out, which happened once. What we've ordered: 1) quesabirria tacos - 5/5. They have a special plate that comes with three quesabirrias and consome for $11.99. Add fresh chopped onions and cilantro, squeeze some lime, dip and enjoy. So good. 2) blackened shrimp taco - 5/5 3) carnitas taco - 5/5 4) la tia bowl with carnitas - 4/5. I liked everything about this but wasn't a really huge fan of the sauce. 5) la tia plate with carnitas - 5/5. I enjoyed this one. Comes with beans and rice. Perfect with the red onions and the marinated carrots from the salsa bar. Served with corn tortillas. The menu has a lot to offer and is bound to have something for everyone in your party. Since discovering La Tia, we've literally been there almost every week. I still have a lot of other food items to try and I'm sure we'll get to that. The service has been good and the lady at the front remembers my family. She greets us with a big smile every time we see each other which makes for a pleasant experience.

Very friendly and the staff were basically moving like Spider-Man around the tables. The food was excellent and very fresh and tasty. It was so good that we came back the next day for the Sunday brunch! We really loved the fish tacos, which were out of this world. Neck and neck with that are the Chihuahua tacos where the meat was tender, and the cheese was charred into the tortilla to give it a very wonderful flavor,, kinda like Iron Man blasted it himself to get that crust. We also tried the Carnitas tacos and a couple of others, which are also very tasty. This Sunday brunch was lovely and our favorite was the steak ranchero and the ceviche, as well as the corn cake. But basically the whole buffet was excellent,, felt like an actual feast in Asgard. We had a Diablo margarita and that was excellent! definitely hit with a kick like the Hulk tbh. One of the two days we sat outdoors, and it was lovely with plenty of space. The second day we had a nice booth and there was plenty of space and seating was very comfortable. basically as chill as hanging at the Avengers compound. Definitely five stars!

Their sauces are also delicious, one that's a green sauce and one that's like a sweet and sour for a delicious flavor combination. Online order makes it convenient, but I will say I wish I could customize ingredients. They didn't list that there's avocado in it, which I'm not a fan of in general but also don't find it fits the flavor profile though I'm sure most people like it.
