    Cinnamon Roll
    Emmanuel R.

    My girlfriend and I found this place on google, searching for some breakfast spots before driving back to LA. What captured our attention was the homemade cinnamon roll. We arrived on Sunday near noon, not too busy but there was some tables filled. Got sat quickly and our waitress was very friendly. We decided to order of the limited time menu items. They had let us know that they were waiting on the meat for the sandwich, which I appreciated the heads-up, so we didn't mind waiting. The waitress would check in everyone once in a while, with some friendly chit chat. Food came out pretty quickly. The prime rib sandwich was cooked very nicely, meat was tender, bread was toasted evenly while not being overly crunchy, just the perfect amount. The melt also had a nice crunch, and the tomato bisque was perfect to dip or to eat by itself. The pickle had a nice crunch to it. The cinnamon roll was a perfect dessert. The fluffy inside, the firm outside, the berries/fruit complimented it very nicely. The homemade whip cream/frosting and syrup were not so too sweet(where I would be sick by the end of it). After all was said and done, they had gifted us two chocolate chip cookies, baked fresh with a drizzle of, what I think was sweetened condensed milk. It was really difficult to swallow that last piece after such a big meal. Not many restaurants have cinnamon rolls, coupled with the jazz-inspired decor and music, the restaurant is a staple to city.

    Really enjoyed my eggs Benedict I didn't get a picture. Cinnamon roll is massive , the fruit is fresh, and the whipped cream is something special. The cookies are good to take home. The watermelon salad was presented beautifully and all the flavors balanced well. Food comes out quick and our server was very hospitable and very kind. Clean restaurant with space and a calm atmosphere.

    Thanksgiving Benedict.   Yum.  Sliced turkey, cranberry hollandaise, poached egg, and stuffing.
    Gretchen B.

    It's that time of year for the Thanksgiving Benedict. After a FB post about it being available, I called to order out. Apparently the woman that answered the phone didn't realize that it was on the menu board, so I didn't get any. Zenaidas reached out today to explain the situation and offered a free Benedict. Above and beyond what I expected!! My husband went to pick up and ordered an extra for later today. They always have great food and service and the Thanksgiving Benedict when available in Nov is a must try!! Thanks Zenaida for reaching out

    Complimentary chocolate chip cookies

    2nd time coming here and it was just amazing as the first! All of the food is delicious. The cinnamon roll is a must!! Loved the potatoes too in addition to everything else. Service is very friendly. Very casual space with plenty of parking in the shopping center.

    French toast

    Such great service and the food was amazing. We were visiting from California and looked for a good brunch place with good reviews! The hospitality was amazing and the staff were so kind and friendly! I would definitely go back next time we are in Vegas.

    Fried Chicken and Waffle
    B G.

    This is the second time that we have been here and the food is consistently amazing. I had the chicken and waffles, my husband chicken fried steak and we shared the French toast. The food is made with such care and fresh ingredients we are adding this to our permanent breakfast rotation. Oh and those cookies

    Steak and eggs
    Ryan S.

    I got the steak and eggs (4/5), which was good! I opted for home fries (4.5/5) instead of hash browns, which were excellent and crunchy. The service was great (5/5)! It was fast, and the waiter was really nice! They also give you free chocolate chip cookies too! The ambiance is also unique; it has a jazz theme (4.5/5).

    French toast 7/10
    Anna F.

    Had to try this place because of the 5 star rating. It did not disappoint. The staff were friendly and always checked on us. Great breakfast selection. The food was delicious. We had the crab Benedict, breakfast stack, sterling breakfast and French toast. The house potatoes were tasty and crunchy. Coffee was good too. Price point is just right. They gave chocolate chip cookies at the end of our meal on the house. It was yummy!! It was kinda hard to find because of the small sign on the building. Inside was cozy, like you're eating at someone's house. Will be trying the biscuits and gravy and chicken and waffle next time.

    Crab Cake Benedict and a Create Your Own Omelet
    Amina's J.

    This popped up as a suggested place, and I'm glad we took you up on the suggestion Yelp! Super cute restaurant with very chill vibes. Our waitress was actually excited about the menu, and had no problem going through each item on the menu that she would recommend. She ran through the majority of the menu and catered her responses to our savory loving palettes. I opted for the Crab Benedict, which was DELICIOUS! Their Hollandaise sauce was light but flavorful. Our waitress mentioned that the crab cakes were made without lots of filler, and she was right. Chalk full of crab with just enough filler to hold it together. For this plate alone, I would return. After our meal, they presented the table with complimentary chocolate chip cookies that were delicious. All around win for this morning's breakfast.

    Waffle (turkey sausage is on the side, and not pictured). SO delicious!
    Candice N.

    My parents and I took a quick trip to Las Vegas and we stopped into Zenaida's for some breakfast, which was a fabulous idea. We pulled into the shopping center parking lot and found parking right in front of the restaurant at about 10:30AM on a Thursday. As we walked inside, we were greeted warmly by our host, who kindly offered us the option to choose our seating (one of the booths). We were handed our menus and then he was off to the kitchen while we perused the menu. A few moments later we were ready to order. I had the waffle and Turkey sausage, so did my dad. My mom chose the keto plate. All were great. The coffee was hot and really good. Our server was very attentive and on point, too! The waffles were nice and crisp on the outside and pillowy on the inside. The whipped cream is delicious topped with strawberry slices! I'm told the keto plate (beef cooked to your liking with veggies) is very tasty and includes beautiful berries! This place is marvelous. We will totally be back and tell all of our friends and family in the area to go to Zenaida's! Ten stars! Even one of the owners was there and greeted us as she buzzed through handling business. Incredible vibe, and beautiful delicious food!

    Breakfast Tacos
    Courtney L.

    This was a good find! We just happened upon it. The service was very nice. The space was warm and inviting. The food was over the top amazing. The breakfast tacos were messy and spicy just how I like them. The steak and eggs were very good. Good flavor. Every meal comes with complimentary cookies. They are delicious. Recommend stopping in this local spot for some good eats.

    Breakfast tacos and crispy home fries
    Marlee B.

    Back again, 3rd week in a row. Love the breakfast tacos! The crispy tortilla was special.

    Pancakes

    Food was great. Wonderful service and friendly environment. Complimentary chocolate chip cookies at end of meal were a great treat. Highly recommended. I'll be back.

Whomever curated this has incredible & varied music taste and it all works together! 90's R&B, Alternative, Grunge Rock, all of it so good! The menu has sections that you choose 2-4 items from and share with your table. We tried the Mushroom flatbread, the Pot Roast sandwich, the Beet Salad and the Grilled Oysters. The Grilled Oysters were not a favorite. However, I think that's just personal preference because of the style they are prepared in. We prefer our grilled oysters to be very charred and more of a buttery flavor. These are prepared in an Asian style and and more of a soft grill than a char. Our server very graciously had a second plate served up with more of a grill to the oyster which we appreciated. The rest of the dishes were delicious. We were so full that we passed on dessert, but would definitely be back because the options were inventive and looked so tasty. A doughnut bread pudding, a bourbon brownie; yes to both please!

I was looking at the chicharrones, he recommended the vegan ones! Said the rice paper was a nice treat. I took his recommendation and he didn't steer me wrong! I never in my life thought I'd be eating vegan chicharrones, but I keep getting up for the surprises life has to offer. Speaking of surprises, Sabastian turned me on to adding bitters to my sparkling water! Never had it that way, it's something I'll absolutely repeat. I had a few of them that night. I did a pork belly skewer. This was my least favourite thing. The pork was a bit tough/overcooked and the peanut sauce was more on the coconut side. I also did the wings. Jamaican and lemon pepper. The lemon pepper was solid, I don't do jerk but got half for woman. She said they were entirely too spicy. The adobo plate was a star! As you can probably imagine, I was starting to be full so I took it to go. Sabastian told me to overcook the meat a bit when I reheat it so the fat renders. Epic tip! It heated up wonderfully, I had some homemade peanut sauce that accompanied the dish nicely. It's pretty dark inside but has a total kitschy tiki vibe. The music was awesome! I meant to ask Sabastian if it was his playlist. It seems to be a place a lot of locals frequent. People came in that knew Sabastian and there was that Cheers feel. I would absolutely go back and try other things, apparently vegan ones too! My skewer was free so I appreciated that, excellent service, knowledgeable staff, great music! GO!
