My friend got the pastrami sandwich and said it was a bit too fatty. I got the seared ahi sandwich and it was delicious. I recommend their green juice as well.

We ordered a mocha with the Lox Salmon scrabble, potatoes, and sourdough toast .
the red velvet waffle with eggs and bacon, along with the watermelon juice. The ABC burger with bacon and avacado, a stuffed French toast , a turkey croissant sandwich, and a BLTA sandwich with a salad.
Everything was superb! Perfectly done, and delicious. Great atmosphere and friendly service!

This place is okay! It’s down the street from my job. The menu is large, which is great for options but it’s hard to read (in person its written in small font to squeeze everything on the chalkboard, but they do offer printed menus too). I would prefer a smaller menu, pricing is a little high ($17 for 1 burger and fries, no drink). Today I ordered a well done burger and it was not cooked as requested. Overall it’s alright.

Highly recommend la Mesa Benedict and the French toast! The Benedict’s Chipotle sauce was very flavorful, but not spicy at all. Eggs were perfectly cooked. Potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. French toast bread itself was not sweet so the strawberries on top provided the perfect dulce touch.
The California burrito and the red trolley omelette (the special of the day) were also good.
Portion sizes were large for the price. Also really delicious was the Mexican hot chocolate. It was a great balance of slightly sweet and little bitterness.
Staff were courteous and smiling. Felt like such a great environment for a delicious breakfast with friends! Would come again!

We had an absolutely delightful breakfast at this spot! The chilaquiles were exceptional—perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of crunch and spice. Not only was the food delicious, but it also arrived incredibly fast, which was impressive. The service was friendly and efficient, making the whole experience truly five-star. I highly recommend visiting if you’re looking for a tasty and quick breakfast option!

Friendly service. Easy parking on a Sunday morning. Clean spaces with plenty of seating options. Delicious food with generous portions. While everything was good, the highlight of the meal was the sweet potato pancakes. They were soft, moist yet crunchy, and flavorful. Definitely a must try!

First time visiting this Cafe as recommended by a relative. Prices were decent with a variety of dishes and specials to choose from. I had the 3pig omelet and added steak which was soooooo good. Awesome place, friendly staff, large dining space, and awesome variety of coffee to drink and taste. Very family friendly. Highly recommended.
