From the moment we were seated, he made sure our party of 8 celebrating a birthday felt completely taken care of.Ernesto was attentive, friendly, and incredibly efficient--he never missed a beat, keeping our drinks full, ensuring we had everything we needed, and doing it all with such a warm and welcoming attitude. He made the birthday celebration even more special with his genuine hospitality and top-notch service.If you're dining at El Torito, ask for Ernesto--he truly goes above and beyond!

"Their Chinese food is the best I've ever had anywhere in America!!! Hands down!! I'm talking, from California to Maine. The best ever!!!"

TidePoole's

★★★★★ 4.7 (511) • $$

"It's about time. After driving by this Newport Beach gem dozens (if not hundreds) of times I finally had the opportunity to stop by for lunch. Tidepoole is well known to both the locals and tourists of Newport Beach. Their storefront is front and center on PCH, so it's truly hard to miss. I stopped by today after attending a nearby yoga class and grabbed a bite to-go. Their menu was straight forward, with options like sandwiches, pizzas, light sides, etc. I ordered the Charlie Sammy: sourdough, pesto, artichoke, provolone, tomatoes, and arugula. I also paid extra to add chicken as protein. The meal was delicious and served with a sliced pickle. The restaurant was close to empty, but I bet it stays jam packed during the summer months. Despite the slow season, parking is still tough. You'll find street parking available in the nearby residential neighborhoods. Luckily it's a nice walk, so don't let this small hiccup keep you from visiting!"

Springdale Cafe

★★★★★ 4.7 (244) • $

"I've seen this place for YEARS!! And I always wanted to try it but always forgot. So when I found myself waiting for my tires to get replaced next-door, I hopped on over and tried Springdale Café. The service was friendly and she was very patient with me as I looked over a very extensive breakfast menu. I ordered the French toast, platter and French vanilla iced coffee. At Springdale Café you order at the counter first, find your seat and they bring the food to you. The only issue I had was they used coffee mate for the flavoring of the iced coffee. I wish I would have known this ahead of time I would have just ordered a regular coffee other than that the food was great. What you would expect for a café. They had two TVs on if that's what you want to do maybe catch up on your news and or sports. The tables were clean."

Country Cafe

★★★★☆ 4.4 (599) • $$

"My sister & I met for a late lunch the day before 4th of July. Found ourselves checking out Country Cafe referred by friends. They close at 1:30pm. We arrived at 1:00 Thought they might turn us away. We were so wrong. They greeted us cheerfully and never rushed us to order or finish up. Top notch service all around. Sister ordered a 2 egg scramble accompanied by brown rice, bacon and sourdough toast. Homemade strawberry jam. Delish. I ordered machaka - half a plate full of tasty shredded beef scrambled with fluffy eggs. Plentiful. Delicious. Cottage cheese, sourdough toast and brewed coffee completed my meal. So much food. We both took half our meals home for dinner. The cafe is ultra-clean. A wall of philodendron plants look well-loved - healthy, hardy, lacy - allowed filtered light to enter the lovely cafe. Impressive. Country Cafe has been in business for eight years. I live blocks away. I can't believe this was my first visit. It won't be my last."

"BEST CHILAQUILES I'VE HAD IN A WHILE! Definitely recommend grabbing a bite here! Will be coming back again!"

Cancun Juice Fresh Mex Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (337) • $$

"Received exceptional customer service from the manager and Evelyn. They went above and beyond. Not to mention the food was amazing. I will keep coming back to this location all the time."

Denny's

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (768) • $$

"Stopped in before heading home from a day at Disneyland. Our server, Humberto was fast and friendly as well as patient with our little ones. The food was great and well priced. Fun fact: this location recently passed Las Vegas as the busiest Denny's in the world."

Woody's Wharf

★★★★☆ 3.6 • $$

"It's been a while, but I've given this place more chances and have to say I'll continue returning!As someone who doesn't like mimosas, I knew bottomless would've been a rip off for me with their deal. Luckily, I was able to use a different menu and order a margarita on the side without having to use their bottomless brunch menu!Their Buffalo Chicken Wings came out steaming and packed! It tasted exactly like you'd expect from good wings. If you have the stomach, try out their Clam Chowder! Super creamy, filling, and hearty if you're not feeling anything else. Glad I'm able to get a difference experience from last time!"

Brio Brio Bakery & Café

★★★★★ 4.6 (552) • $$

"One of the best sandwiches in recent memory (aside from work in progress + brew story)Cute cafe with some small candles, fresh coffee beans, small snacks + dipsQuality Japanese baked goods with tranquil musicSandwiches range from $16-$18, but are worth! Also comes with a yummy salad.Also have rice bowls and drinks/caffeinated drinks ==========Food and atmosphere are great here!Service is very sweet and friendly.Upon entry, the place smells glorious. They took out a fresh baked hojicha cheesecake and my nose was so happy.In the past, I've gotten a walnut cheese bread here and tho it was kinda pricey $5-$6? It was very high in quality. It was chock full of walnuts and lots of salty cheese bits throughout.I shared a roast beef sandwich with my friend, and tho two girls ate the entire half easy, it was well worth the $18Their meat used is prime, juicy, and flavorful. My pet peeve is when the protein just tastes like boiled protein - here, it is definitely not that. I very much enjoyed the sandwich with the kick of wasabi aioli (the smell went a teensy bit up my nose), and freshnesss from greens and tomato. The bread was fluffy and slightly sweet, it ranks very high in my bread world. I will grab a loaf when I run out of bread in my freezer!Side saladNot just lettuce, but a spring mix with crunchy rice crackers? And a light sesame dressing - none of that prepackaged stuff - delish!Cheesecake $8the slice is quite large and every bite was very yummy. It leans on the milky side and there's a soft tang with vanilla undertone. Somewhat dense, more creamy, but not gooey soft. I was expecting a basque cheesecake by the looks, but it's not as caramelized. Cannot wait to try the hojicha! Regular is their best seller.Lemon brioche $4We ate this warm and it was fantastic. Very fluffy and plush, with lemon zest speckled in-between the bread. Sharing a half made me appreciate it hahaOh and I think I found a wonderful study spot :x dogs can be outside as well!A little sad they changed their menu and removed curries/tacos, but I guess better something than nothing."

El Buen Sabor

★★★★☆ 3.7 (71) • $

"Great mom and pop! Made to order and ingredients taste fresh! Can't wait to come back and try something else. Very nice family own."

20/20 Cafe

★★★★★ 4.8 (5)

"As much as I would love to give this secret hidden place a 5 star I just cant because I have to walk here and NO PHONE orders! But you ask: "Is it worth it?" DAMN right! Killer Bfast burritos and overall special breakfasts served here every day. Everything is home made to specialty breakfast and lunch menu items. The staff is one of the best features of this place as they are friendly, warm and treat you like family. Be warned that since this is a hard place to get to, the access during lunchtime can be brutal as far as wait time, parking. The prices here are amazing also for what you get compared to local eateries. I hope they wont get mad at me for this review but I have to share this (hesitantly) since I really appreciate them and want to see their business grow (hesitantly again....lol)."

"the service was great, we got seated right away even for it being kind of busy. our waitress oliva was so sweet and attentive! i'm currently 9 months pregnant & really needed my bacon to be extra crispy, oliva had no problem making sure my bacon was perfect!! on top of the good service, our food was sooo yummy! make sure to order the pancakes they are super fluffy!"

Sunrise Café

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$

"After a luggage delay at the airport, we had quite a bit of time to kill and decided to search for breakfast nearby, luckily we came across sunrise cafe on Yelp! This was exactly what we needed to turn the morning around. The breakfast here was great! The menu was rather large and had so many things that sounded amazing, picking what to get was not an easy choice. After much back and forth, I settled on the Baja Omelet, and my mom the banana pancakes. Both meals were great! Portions were large and the food flavorful. Though it was a feat, we made sure to finish every last bite. Service was friendly and the place gave off a small town diner feel."

Pop's Cafe

Ellie's

★★★★☆ 4.3 • $$

"Saturday night was packed so glad we had a reservation, seating inside is limited. Potato crochets were delish. I had the gnocchi with shrimp and the sauce was amazing. He had chicken parm and it was giant! He said it could have used more sauce though. Overall was a great meal!"

"Great breakfast spot with a lot of different options and coffee. They have a nice outdoor patio and indoor seating."

TK Burgers

★★★★☆ 3.6 (706) • $

"Review 6 of 2025I was running out of time so I ordered just the cheese burger with cup of water. The restaurant itself is small. There are plenty of tables inside and outside.The parking lot is extremely small and tight. I was lucky enough to find the spot.Service was good and fast.Ambiance is cool with nice wall arts on the wall to the ceilings.I will definitely go back."

Original Pancake House

★★★★☆ 4.4 • $$

"The Original Pancake House in Anaheim is a solid spot for breakfast or brunch with a classic, homey vibe. You're coming here because you want that homestyle food.Parking: There's free parking in the small lot in the back. If they run out of parking, you might be able to park next door at the elementary school next door if the sign is out indicating so (usually weekends). Otherwise, there's some free street parking available across the street.The Food: The food here is what you expect, nothing fancy, just homey. Many of the items come with a side of the pancakes, which are light and fluffy. There isn't an item I would say is a must try, get whatever you're feeling.The hash browns are definitely different than what I've had before. They're thick and soft, almost like a potato cake. The portions are generous so feel free to share. Everything was cooked perfectly.The Service: The staff was friendly and attentive. Even when when it's a packed restaurant and they're running around, they made sure to frequently check in and get us everything we wanted.Overall, if you're looking for a place to grab a homestyle breakfast, this is the place. It's popular and there's frequently a line so I highly recommend you join the waitlist before you arrive."

Howard's Coffee Shop

★★★★☆ 3.6 (157) • $$

"I really like how comfy this place feels like you're in a quaint little shop. The service is attentive and welcoming. The food is good, especially the potatoes. Instead of cubes of potatoes, they make thin crispy slivers. It's pretty good. I would only really knock down 1 star because of the price. It's a little too steep for diner food."

Tres Muchachos

★★★★★ 4.8 (397) • $$

"We were trying to go to Mi Casa but the parking lot was full! I looked on Yelp and found Tres Muchachos. Very happy we did. The food was amazing and the service was spectacular! Very fresh and a unique taste. We tried the guacamole, salsa and this hummus (not quite sure what was in it) but had this really yummy chimichurri on top. Next, I ordered the New York Steak and Eggs, I'm not the biggest fan of breakfast so I asked if I could sub fries. The steak had the same chimichurri on top, DELISH! It also came with roasted veggies! My husband got the Chef Oso's breakfast burrito with these breakfast fries. 10/10"

Eggspresso

★★★★☆ 4.4 (752) • $$

"Located amongst the other businesses in the plaza is the breakfast eatery. Once you enter the lot you will need to retrieve a parking ticket in which you can validate afterwards. Ordering is minimal with QR codes posted on the tables and the food and drinks came out relatively quick. Not too heavy of a selection for brunch foods but I noticed a mix of some fusion items, savory and sweet items, and classic options, and vegetarian options as well. I went for their Broccolini Omelet and my friends had a Pork Belly Rice Bowl and their Bacon Jam BLT. To my omelet I added some fingerling potatoes, and the meal was pretty mild so I had some hot sauce packets for some spice. I liked the pesto they used within the omelet which gave it more flavor! The meal tasted healthy and clean, however, still very casual for a breakfast spot. I'd recommend for a quick bite to eat as the service was fast for our matcha latte and coffees!"

Storytellers Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.6 • $$$

"We had a blast celebrating our nephew's first birthday at this place! Breakfast was a delightful. The cafe staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and the Disney characters were simply amazing. Not only did they entertain the little ones, but they also made sure to interact with the adults, adding an extra layer of fun to the whole encounter. They stayed in character & were so full of joy & playfulness. The food was good, can't go wrong with the classics: scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausages, but they also had other options. If you visit, be sure to try the pork belly slices - just make sure to get the soft and juicy ones, as some parts can be a bit dry and tough. Overall, it was an experience that we recommend trying out."

RJ Burgers

★★★★☆ 4.1 (218) • $$

"Burgers are fresh !! Real juicy like they say it is !!! . This will be my go to place for burgers"

Farmer Boys

★★★☆☆ 3 (471) • $

"FOODLoaded Fiery Fried Chicken Sandwich - This has become a go-to order for me from Farmer Boys when I don't know what I want for lunch / dinner. The chicken is juicy. The veggies are fresh. The bun is warm, and the salty crispy bacon + the smashed avocado is a match made in heaven. The cheese makes the sandwich not as spicy but you could probably ask for extra sauce. There are some days where it tastes better than others but still a good sandwich overall. Always Crispy Fries - The majority of the times I've ordered these, they have been cold and stale. I would skip on these.Chili Cheese Fries - If you feel the need to get fries, I would opt for chili cheese fries. The chili, cheese, and onions make the fries slightly more edible.CUSTOMER SERVICE & AMBIENCE Good customer service. I was able to get my takeout quickly and my order was correct. It was not too busy inside and there was plenty of parking."

Northside Cafe By Caliente

★★★★☆ 4.4 (106) • $

"Four star review because the portions here are insane! I got the chicken fiesta burrito bowl and this could easily feed 3 people. I love the service here and the staff are incredibly inviting. The ambience is great because you can sit here and eat, while getting some work done."

Red Table

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$

"Best loco moco I have ever had and always a great craft beer selection. Call to see if loco moco is on menu for the day, it's a special menu item."

Streamliner Lounge

★★★★☆ 4.2 (144) • $$

"Don't let my 3-star rating mislead you--Streamliner Lounge isn't bad. However, nothing really wowed me, and I wouldn't choose to come here on my own.My colleagues and I arrived around 6 PM on a Friday. There were about 20 of us, and we were seated within 10 minutes, which was impressive for a large group. We ordered all the appetizers, and I managed to try all but one. Although I didn't catch our server's name, she was sweet and clearly did her best to accommodate us, along with her other tables.Spicy Fried Cauliflower: 4/5Probably my favorite of the bunch. Light, airy, and flavorful, with a surprising crispness that held up even after sitting out.Mini Street Tacos (pork): 2.5/5Pretty dry. The flavor wasn't really there, but they were passable.Slider Duo: 2.5/5These were your typical sliders--nothing to write home about. The fries, however, were pretty good and had a great crisp.Sriracha BBQ Wings: 4/5Good flavor! They were almost too salty for me, but I still enjoyed them.Buffalo Wings: 4/5A classic buffalo wing. They might not be the best you've ever had, but they'll satisfy your craving.Overall, if you're looking for a "traditional" American dining experience, Streamliner Lounge could be a good choice. My preference leans more towards ethnic foods, which might explain why I wasn't overly impressed. But if traditional American fare is your thing, you'll likely enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere, live music, and (decent) food."

Str8 Up Tacos

★★★★★ 4.7 • $$

"Our go to spot for deciduous tacos! The owners are really nice & friendly. It's a chill vibe with some booths and tables to dine in. A must to come in for tacos for lunch. Can't really go wrong with any of the taco selections"
