This place has great food. Nacho the owner is a cool dude and an excellent cook. I love breakfast and that’s all I get there. I did get a burger and it was fire. If you want a classic dinner experience go here. The brioche French toast breakfast is perfect. I have been here everyday for a week straight.

The real deal, forever. Good prices. Huge portions. He’s not the Godfather — he’s my biological father.😆😆😆

I came back after the Orginal onwer Nacho took back over. Food was Soo Delicious. I had the verde chicken pozole, the flavor from the soup to the chicken hands down 10/10, the chicken was so tender. Generous portion sizes on the food. My husband had the carne asada burrito again phenomenal flavors. Nachos homemade Chipotle sauce delicious. They are so super friendly and very attentive. I recommend to stop by and give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

The protein bowl with chicken sausage is awesome. Very friendly staff, though a little slow service. The Diner vibe is nice but the seats in the booths and at the counter have minimal leg room - I'm 6'4" so I had to bend my legs in an odd angle to fit. The music was a nice touch to the classic atmosphere. All that being said, I'd definitely eat here again.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Amy N. · Jan 2026

First-timer… Food was OK. May have came in on an off-day but my “made from scratch batter” crepes were pre-made & heated on the grill (first time i’ve ever seen that). Good flavor but they were served with burnt edges. One of them had an eyebrow hair on top of it when it came out, i didn’t want to embarrass anyone so i just didn’t eat that crepe. My husband got the chorizo burrito & didn’t like it. The service was friendly & quick though so i’ll give it that… may be others’ favorite but i won’t return.
