El Cerrito Cafe

got steak and eggs with French toastSteak was not a ribeye like the menu said and it was cooked well done and no medium like we asked. Other then that the food was okay. Home patotes where delicious I ordered the chilaquiles and asked to modify for a red sauce and add chili which they don't typically do. It was nice they where able to accommodate me. Sauce was spicy and the tortilla chips had a nice crunch! Over easy eggs where delicious along with the hasbrowns

Our friends have recommended El Cerrito Cafe to us for breakfast. They rave about their chilaquiles. The restaurant was filled to the brim. But we were promptly seated. It did however take some time to get menus, then drinks. But no issue as we were not in much of a hurry. Once we got our drinks the wait to order was quite long. The kids ordered chilaquiles and we ordered the steak and eggs special and menudo.. but they ran out of menudo so I ordered the chorizo and eggs. I had an option of corn or flour tortillas, I went with corn. Please be patient, it's relevant. We adults got our food first and again an extreme amount of time went by before my daughter got her chilaquiles.. but it felt like an eternity for my son who received his chilaquiles. The food was hot and tasted good. I opened my tortillas to find flour.. so I asked for my corn. The wait for tortillas was well, you get the theme. Long. I was two bites away from being done by the time they arrived. If you go, go early so you can try the menudo. Prepare to wait. And before the server can leave make sure you have everything you need for your meal. The food was yummy, we were full. But we did not expect to spend over 2 hours at breakfast. We paid and left... only to realize that we were charged for the menudo, and an additional meal. We had to turn around to be refunded over $22. So bit of an inconvenience but handled promptly by the staff. Food was good, staff was pleasant. Waiting for food, drink, service was long.

My family enjoys their food. Freshly made. Complete satisfaction and good costumer service.

Unfortunately I was not a fan of this place, drove bout 25 min to this place to try a breakfast dish, for the price it was very little food and flavor wasn't great. The little ones did like the pancakes and the hash browns were cooked well. Probably won't give it another shot anytime soon.

Great service and great food, family owned been going here for years now and the best menudo in town

Voted BEST huevos rancheros in SoCal by aficionado Scoop Huevos.... This is a must try when in the greater metropolitan Corona region. STRONG BUY recommend

Great service and food. The bathroom & bar areas felt dated, dirty and old but the workers and food made up for it. It was also cool that we happened upon Santa and Mrs. Claus there on a Saturday and they gave little gifts to our two boys. (Of course they were sitting in the bar which felt a bit like a movie with a drunk Santa but it was just in my mind, my kids didn't notice anything.) Sorry about the noise with the boys new car sounds, but at least it wasn't screaming. lol.

Nice little spot for breakfast. Got a little hot inside after a while but decent prices and good size servings... definitely will try it out again but probably not during 90* weather. Over all. Great place.

What a hidden gem!!! I used to drive by this place twice a day (to and from) on my drive to work. Always wanted to stop but they were only open in the morning. When I walked in today, I was greeted with a cheery hello and seated quickly. I was alone, so I already knew I wanted a chicken sandwich. It came with the crispest iceberg lettuce salads with fresh veggies. It was fantastic. My sandwich was HUGE! And the bread it was served on was so soft and toasty delicious. I also found out the do mimosas and beer. I've found that little hole in the wall that was truly adorable. Can't wait to take my family back. Oh btw... I was excited to think I had the other half of my sandwich still, but when I came back to the fridge after cleaning the house, I only found the empty box! My son "jacked" me. So it looks like the trip back is likely to be sooner than later.

This place is very welcoming. All workers at this restaurant are very kind and attentive. The location and food reminded me of my mom's cooking. Food is authentic. I will return to this place.
