I’m from NorCal and I saw the reviews and was in the area, so we gave it a try. —> AMAZINNNNNG. My new favorite spot in all of SoCal. Seriously. We ordered the brekkie quesadilla (pictured), banana bread skillet (pictured), chilaquiles with try-tip added, smoked carnitas brunch burrito, and la flaca scramble, but I requested cheese to be added (what a great choice by me!). Once I realized I wanted to leave a rave review, I had already finished my plate (pictured). But everything about what I ate was amazing. The perfect balance of richness in my plate (thanks cheese), veggie distribution and grilled-to-perfection flavor in them was enough to say this is the best scramble I’ve EVER had. I also tried the banana dish and that was lovely. The portions sizes were perfect for me. My boys had th

Great cute new spot! Went on their second day open and the staff was gracious, attentive, curious about our experience, open to suggestions etc. The space is adorable and open. Cutlery is unique and beautiful. The plastic black chairs look like they are going to be hard and they are just the opposite- notably comfortable and bendy. The breakfast burrito was lovely- the salsas they serve with it are not hot at all, rather a bit sweet so if you like spice ask for the chefs hot sauce. It made it. The charm of indoor/outdoor concept is lost a bit considering it faces a parking lot of a run down strip mall and is next door to a bait shop, but the entire area is being renovated bit by bit so hopefully the location will make more sense soon enough.

Just found this amazing new restaurant in Dana Point. The grilled yellowtail bowl and the "rooster" yellowtail fish tacos were delicious. Word has gotten out because it was packed for Wednesday lunch. The owner Micheal was so friendly and came out to say hello. Love that you can either dine in with table service or you can order take out (and have a picnic at Doheney State Beach which is across the street). I can't wait to come back to try the gluten free waffles, which my friend tried and said was delicious!!

Great food and lemonade! Their corn waffles are super filling. I got the La Jolla Lemonade, too, which was sweet and tangy, just the way I like it. My mom got avocado toast and "OC" juice, which she adored. Theor hot sauce labels made me laugh, too, and everyone was super friendly! My only complaint is it's a little loud between music and other conversations, but not enough to take a star off.
