    This place is amazing! We come here for Mother’s Day almost every year. The people are so kind and welcoming. The chili verde is one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Every time I’ve been there they’ve had a complimentary desert table.

    Stopped in on our way home from Vacation with my family. 3 kids and 2 adults ordered coffee juices I got some amazing chiliquiles with carne asada. Such big portions I couldn’t even eat half my plate. My husband got bacon, potatoes, eggs and finished his food. The kids all liked their food and ate most of it. Waitress was very attentive and kind was thinking to myself, I should rate them because they deserve 5stars. Don’t pass this place up.

    Their omelettes are so tasty. We got egg white low calorie omelette and chicken skillet. It is really big portion. We were full just with one of them.

    I love this place. It's a cross between a diner and visiting your abuela's house. It's simple dishes done well. I dream about their chilaquiles with Chile verde. Drool worthy.

    Yes, it looks a little uninspiring. But don't let the outside(or inside) fool you. You want a very good breakfast and a tremendous selection, then you found the place! Service with a smile! A little gem that I will visit every time I come to Gilroy.
