Unfortunately, my visit to this restaurant was extremely disappointing.
I arrived around 11 AM and there was no host at the front desk, so I had to wait for a while. When a staff member finally showed up — the one who usually handles payments — he walked me to a table but refused to take my order, saying it wasn’t his responsibility. I had to wait even longer for a server to show up.
When the waitress finally came, I told her I was on a short lunch break and asked if the food could be prepared quickly. She kindly agreed and said it was possible. However, after 20 minutes of waiting, my order still wasn’t ready.
Since I was running out of time, I went to the service counter to check on it. They told me the food was ready and would be brought out any minute. But it didn’t come. I returned to the counter again and asked them to pack the food to go instead.
At that point, the staff started showing their frustration, saying I was being impatient and that since the food was already plated for dine-in, they now had to waste time repackaging it. So apparently, they value their time, but not the customer’s.
When I pointed out that their behavior was unacceptable, the same employee who had refused to take my order earlier got involved again and became rude, raising his voice and speaking in a very disrespectful and unprofessional way. Other guests witnessed this, but the staff clearly didn’t care. Even after I mentioned I would leave a review, they continued arguing instead of simply packing my order and moving on to other customers.
I find this level of service completely unacceptable. I used to have breakfast at this restaurant chain regularly because the food is genuinely good, but I will definitely not return to this particular location.
To be fair, they didn’t charge me for the meal — which I appreciate as a small gesture after everything — but I still left hungry, my lunch break wasted on waiting, arguing, and ending up in a terrible mood.
Also, I’m giving this place a one-star rating because I never actually got to enjoy the food — and by the time I finally had a chance to try it, it was cold and not tasty at all.
I’m also attaching a photo of how the food was packed. As you can see, the presentation was very poor and unappetizing.

Remarkable Review
Florencio was a very nice server. Treated my kids well. The food was delicious and fresh. Only thing that almost made us choose another place to dine is the fact that the place was EMPTY. Like one other table dining in other than us.

Still a good place to eat. Last time we were here was about 6 years ago. We moved a bit far, but today we were around Costa Mesa and decided to grab some breakfast before our flight.
It was around 9:30 am on a Tuesday. The restaurant was not crowded, so no wait times to get seated.
Our waitress was Lili, she was very attentive, friendly, and helpful. We spilled a glass of water all over the table, the busser came quickly a cleaned everything up while we were switching tables.
The food was really good, as usual. I have never had a complaint here about the food. My plate was really filling, and the food taste good, and my bacon was crispy!
It was a good experience overall.

May 9, it was super busy in this location, we were told to order something to drink because the kitchen was extremely busy and food was going to take long, we didn’t mind except my son was starving so they offered to bring some eggs while we waited and waited and waited and the eggs never came, then another waitress came after 10 l o ng minutes and ask, do you want anything to drink? seriously wow we are ready to order. OK I’ll call someone to take your order! What?? Anyways I don’t complain the girl that help us was very nice and even though we waited for long time I understand why it was crazy busy, because the mother’s day weekend usually is not that crazy.
Love those new protein pancakes.

It’s the stereotypical American breakfast, so I had to try it portions were huge (compared to the UK). I had a combination of eggs, bacon, sausage, french toast and some huge pancakes. Honestly, I was broken by about half way though but the food was delicious and the coffee was plentiful.
Definitely worth trying but maybe try a smaller portion if you need to function afterwards!

Decent iHop in Costa Mesa. Service and food are okay. I ordered the pesto veggie benedict and only one egg was runny. We also did not get our meals at the same time. Other than that, everything was good. I recommend coming on a weekday since it is usually not as busy.

Food is always great! But the service is terrible, I saw a comment about servers being biased and I agree. My boyfriend (Caucasian) and I (Mexican) went to eat breakfast, and the server never took accountability on her mistake. My boyfriend ordered a coffee and 2 waters for us, and we only got the waters AFTER the food arrived, and that’s because we reminded her, to which we replies “OH, they didn’t bring it out?” Who’s “they”? You’re the server. We never got the coffee, and it was on the receipt, when we told her to please remove it since we never received it, she replies with “It was probably a mistake”… probably?? Mistake?? It’s your mistake for not doing your job. (She was standing, talking about some pumpkin chai latte from strabucks, with other servers)

I haven’t written a bad review of this place yet? It’s long overdue. I really wish I could take my kids out for some pancakes here once in a while but it’s just not worth the overtly terrible service. They are CLEARLY EXTREMELY BIASED against anyone who isn’t a Mexican family. They will not even approach your table unless you flag them down and it will be like that start to finish. I have had them disappear so I can’t order, can’t pay, etc. If you bring it to their attention that you haven’t gotten service, now you’re the problem. Besides this, the restaurant is FREEZING and they will probably get your order wrong. If you aren’t Mexican, it’s not for you. Try Broken Yolk. (By the way, my husband and children are Mexican, but he never goes with us, always me and the kids, I’m white.)

This is the first and last time in this place (Jan 19rh @ 10 pm). I don’t think it’s right that after 5 minutes of eating, they put my bill on the table, I felt that they were rushing me to eat and that I would pay now. The french toast had a good presentation, but nothing of flavor. They didn’t ask us for refill for our drinks (sodas), my meat was over cooked. Definitely a bad experience.
