Mamón

Went on a mid-day Saturday, a good amount of people and greeted nicely wanting to start a conversation. Was new so took a while to check out their menu, everything looked so good with so many options so asked for help. They were very patient and told me go for THE DIRTY BIRD w/ a side of breakfast potatoes. Let me tell you one of the best Chicken sandwiches I had, and it was enormous definitely worth your buck. The breakfast potatoes were good but the homemade sauce that came with it made them 10x better. Also had gotten one of the in house ipa which was actually really good. There is lots of seating the decor is nice, it gives off neighborhood diner, everyone friendly and nice.

I tried their banana pudding at a taste of lake forest festival back in 2019 and had been meaning to swing by for another taste of that delicious pudding ever since! The banana pudding is still the star of the show here - don't leave without getting some. I loved the decor and vibe inside- they also offer outdoor seating. It's a walk up to order counter where you're given a number and they'll bring your food out to you. We shared the -al horno and the chanco en cama sandwiches. The chanco en cama was a touch too spicy for me to consider it enjoyable, so I preferred the al horno. They have a spicy mayo sauce of sorts which is quite good.

I happened across Mamon after a visit to the doctor's which is in the same plaza. I am so glad that I stumbled here. Who knew such a hidden gem would be tucked away in this plaza? I ordered the sandwich called "There's an egg involved", and it was so delicious. The sauce that it came with complemented the sandwich perfectly, and the bread soaking up the egg yolk and the juices from the tri-tip made each bite a beautiful symphony of flavors. The veggies that were in the sandwich cut the fat so perfectly, and I can honestly just say that this was a perfect sandwich. The lady at the register was also very kind and helpful with my questions about the menu items. I enjoyed eating my meal at the establishment, as there are numerous tables spread throughout. I will 100% be back to try different items on the menu in the future!

Amazing breakfast burritos! The owner made me a special gluten free burrito that was so delicious I will be back. The burritos in the photo are with a spinach wrap

Best sandwiches in south OC!! With a Latin American twist. We ordered the Just the Tip mushroom sandwich and the Choriopan (Argentinian sausage). They both came on a delicious Franchese bread and had Serrano aioli on the side. The flavors were mind blowing and service was quick and friendly. They are also able to accommodate vegetarians and make substitutions which is really nice.

The interior, the music, the customer service is great.I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the vegetarian "Just The Tip" sandwich with the habanero sauce.I enjoyed dining in even though I ordered to go. I was also able to sample some of their draft beers.

We have been to this restaurant a handful of times and have loved everything we have tried so far. The owner and staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food is delicious. You must try the banana pudding, it's different than I am used to but worth the sugar and calorie intake. My husband had the tri-tip plate with salad and cauliflower. Everything on the plate was gone before you knew it. I had one of their Philly Me Up sliders with a bowl of tomato soup which was equally tasty as my husband's food. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating.

5 stars just for the banana pudding! If you go there you MUST order it! Other than that the food was nothing special. Although the fries were above average. This isn't a traditional sit in restaurant. You order everything you want at the cash register and then you seat yourself.

Delicious bread pudding French toast to die for! Yummmy! This place never disappoints & service is good too! They just need straws!

Food and ambiance at this restaurant are good. Service was basic but nothing special. They did not offer water or inform me that water was self service and located in the back of the restaurant. Once the food is dropped off at your table no one checks back to see if you need anything else. For these prices it would be nice if they checked back at your table to see if everything is ok or if you need anything else. They request that you scan QR for online menu which I don't mind and seems to be the norm at a lot of restaurants now. But if you are going to do an online menu you have to make sure your menu is up to date. I tried ordering a chicken wrap which according to the menu looked to be a chicken caesar wrap. I even asked the employee if it was a chicken caesar wrap and she said yes. On the menu it is priced at $8.50. When she rang me up it came closer to $17.00 (big difference in price). I was quite surprised on the price considering most of their sandwiches range from $13 to $16 and come with a lot more meat and veggies than a chicken caesar wrap does. Don't really understand why the wrap is more expensive. Someone needs to review the food cost on that one. That being said the wrap tasted great and came with a unique side sauce that had a little kick. Good pairing with the wrap. There were a few other items on the online menu that did not have pricing. I think if they clean up the menu and spend a little more time focusing on service and guest interaction this place will be 5 stars for sure. It's the little things that count.
