Delicious food! Limited outdoor sidewalk seating available; wonderful if you can snag it! During Comic-Con, they switch to a more limited, higher-priced menu. Go Wednesday before con starts.
Travel ChannelAugust 4, 2011On Man v Food, Adam Richman takes on the Broken Yolk Special, a 6-lb. breakfast served on a 15-inch pizza pan - a 12-egg omelet with chili plus a mountain of home fries and 2 biscuits.
GeauxDC FoodieOctober 20, 2016A great breakfast place while in San Diego. This staff handles a busy clientele with order and efficiency. The food is good the coffee is hot. The $ are a little steep but expected for the Gaslamp
JNETJune 6, 2016Quick and friendly service. They are used to conventioneers. Let them know to divide checks. You will be fed and able to leave in good time for meetings.
Daniel Bastardo BlancoMay 13, 2019Had a California omelet and it was great! If you are attending a conference at the San Diego Convention Center, this is a great place to have a breakfast! Portions are big.
Floor BAugust 1, 2022They have wifi and unlimited coffee! The choco chips pancakes and the Ranchero Skillet are awesome!! Other items on the menu sounded great too but I was full for the day 🙈
VICK @damone331August 17, 2014I had the French Toast & one Egg. I thought of have room for fruit but I underestimated the meal of choice.
David CalderonDecember 5, 2014The benedicts are creative and just as delicious! You have to get the banana nutella crepe though!
Charlie PenaflorNovember 2, 2011The California Burrito is the bomb! If you got an infant that rests on a car seat, request to be seated under the "Big Ass Fan." Your child will love it and remain calm throughout your entire meal.
Panasha DesaiMarch 14, 2017This place is great for breakfast, lots or great options. Try the tiki toast, like French toast but lighter.
Soowan JangJune 8, 2018TiKi French Toast is awesome. Add up with two sunny side eggs with crispy bacon.
Roshan GonsalkoraleJanuary 23, 2014Get the following for awesome energy: 2 x scrambled eggs, bacon, tomato, avocado and asparagus
KelleyNovember 20, 2015Great No Name omlete and blueberry muffin. Excellent cheap breakfast or lunch stop.
Humoud AlshaijiMay 2, 2018Good place. Good food. Nice service. Close to my hotel. I will come back again 👍👍👍🍝🍽
Michael ParksOctober 4, 2010Get the Broken Yolk Special: 12-egg omelet with onions, mushrooms, smothered in chili and cheese. Served with homefries and 2 biscuits. Split it, or try the challenge: eat all in 1 hour by yourself an- Seiko GhekoOctober 12, 2019El Fuego omelette had just the right of spice and not too much cheese. Fast, friendly service.
StellaJanuary 6, 2015Omelettes are very good! They come with a side and bread of your choice. Great for sharing.
Maria PerezJune 24, 2010Voted Best B-fast in SD (2nd on my list)If you dare, try the SPECIAL: 12-egg omelet w/mushrooms, onions, American cheese & smothered W/chili,homefries & 2 biscuits. 1 person/1 hour limit & its FREE! Read more
Zarya Alexandra FogelsonMarch 22, 2013Great breakfast spot with a wide range of dishes and fresh juices! Tangerine juice is a must!
The Fluff Ice™ TruckNovember 26, 2011The portions are huge and it gets busy on Sunday mornings for brunch. Well, it's probably because everyone is recovering from a busy night of partying.
Victor D. Gonzalez-RodNovember 5, 2012I loved the place! The food is great along with the staff. My wife and I enjoyed the food
Ben JonesAugust 30, 2014Breakfast is busy but if your solo...there is a counter in back. An oddly shaped counter...but it is a counter.
Valerie MichelleMarch 2, 2013Speedy Gonzales service! The Pomegranate mimosa is sparkly refreshing 
Igor Piegaro DonacimientoNovember 2, 2014If you want a real Breakfast in San Diego, this is your place. Fast service, good prices.
Cimbria PetersonJanuary 17, 2011My girls wore princess clothes and they brought them out strawberries and whipped cream...so cute. Chilaquiles are delicious. Huge portions!
Kian_Zac AnwarJuly 3, 2011Had breakfast there yesterday...there was a line-up bu it took them less than 5 min to get us a table...try the b-fast buritto wt avocado, bacon & beans. U'll either luv it or hate it.
Matt BentonMarch 17, 2013The gluten free pancakes are probably better than normal pancakes here. Too bad they don't have these in my hometown.
Heather WilliamsJune 15, 2014Very popular, bit of a wait, and overall not as good as we were expecting. Our party of 7 was in agreement that we were underwhelmed with the flavours. Not bad, but didn't live up to the hype.
Stanley SpearsSeptember 11, 2013Use the parking garage the meters just eat your chAnge and give you half the time.
Menu top to bottom is great. The OJ is always good. Go with the homestyle fries/potatoes over the hashbrowns.
Alexandra TwomeyMarch 16, 2014100% recommend the California chicken club & add some hot licks hot sauce 😋- Meridith StokesSeptember 12, 2011California breakfast burrito is awesome. Get sour cream on the side and add some hot sauce.
