The Chilaquiles and Chile Relleno wrap were truly delicious. Every flavor shined, making the meal feel extra special. I’d happily return for more.

5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐’s!
By far the Andy’s Fat Burger is the best I’ve had in decades! Throughout the years, most all restaurants have lost what TJ’s has. If you can relate, you need to bring yourself and family here.
I tried TJ’s Restaurant out because I saw their onion rings. Without exaggeration, they were the best I’ve ever had in my life!
The restaurant is very clean and has an ambience I’ve been missing for quite a while. (BTW, I Don’t normally use the word ‘ambience’, you just have check this place out – It’s Special!). Someone else here said this is a “Brea Gem” and I completely agree! I wish I woud’ve found TJ’s Restaurant in Brea earlier.
Everything about TJ’s is special. Even the bag they use and how they package their food. This shows me the owner cares a lot about quality and detail! The taste of their cheeseburger, onion rings and fries are proof of this. Their service is also top notch and friendly!
I can’t say enough, so just check them out for yourself. I guarantee you will agree.

I have had The One Breakfast Burrito 3 different times now and each time I have been blown away! Now prior to this I wasn’t into Breakfast burritos. They were either all half cooked hash browns and lot of eggs with little to no meat. Or all the ingredients like the meat and cheese were on one side and the eggs on the other ingredients were on the other side and dry with no consistency. I love The One Breakfast Burrito!! The ingredients are fresh and they way it is built you will have meat, eggs, tater tots, cheese and sauce in every bite! The tater tots gives this burrito a different texture and taste. No dry half done potatoes. And the service is great, I oder and go pick of from Doordash.

Food: I got the breakfast torta 12’. I got the recommendation from the chef to get chorizo out of all the meats. This meal is plenty for one person especially getting chorizo meat. It really does feel like your dad cooked it for breakfast.
Service: order at the counter and they deliver it to your table.
Ambiance: clean, lots of inspiration on the wall. College games going on at the moment.
On three weekends parking is easy to find

This place is a hidden gem for sure.
We saw the sign out on the landscaping on our way to the mall, and decided to stop by this unassuming place. Glad we did. Totally different inside.
Decorated nicely, covered in quotes with a sense of humor. But that’s not all, the staff is stupendously friendly. Felt welcomed immediately. The man who took our order (who I assume to be the owner/co-owner) was quite helpful in explaining the menu, and recommending the popular items.
I settled on a burger. Gotta say, some places try too much with burgers.nthis place has all the ingredients without trying to tell you it’s good. It lets the flavor do the talking. And it’s delicious. Also tried some French toast and they were just as good.
We already made plans to come back to try other menu items. Only complaint for me is the short business hours on weekends, but that is not they fault. Being in a primarily industrial zone, it makes sense their hours align with the work schedules of the surrounding area.

The Chilaquiles and Chile Relleno Burrito are delicious. The cashier was very informative and nice. They have great specials. On Mondays you can buy any breakfast burrito and it comes with a free drink if I remember correctly. I would definitely come back here again to try something else.

This is probably the best breakfast I’ve had here in Brea. A hidden gym. Real plates with real silverware are clues that food is excellent. Camouflaged by it’s location, this is my new go-to spot for a delicious bite at a great price. Met the owner as the cashier/waitress took our order. I’m looking forward to trying their other menu items.

For a little hole in the wall, this place is great! First visit for lunch since aive heard its good and it did not disappoint (even by my very finiky chef husband). Ordered the pulled pork sandwich on a brioche bun with fries. Generous portion & tasty. Hubby got the bbq burger (bacon, cheese & onion ring). Will Def be back!

TJ’s Cafe. open under new family owners for the past 10 months. the wife and i visited there for breakfast and i went again for lunch a few days later. they serve delicious breakfast all day long. i had Chilaquiles (yummy) and my wife had a bacon breakfast burrito. the burrito was big with lots of egg/cheese/bacon and some homestyle potatoes. many places put too much potato-i think used as filler- in their burrito, but not TJ’s. a few days later i went for lunch and had their Pastrami Melt and fries and Chicken Tortilla Soup. all the food is delicious and fresh. TJ’s is a family run restraunt. Jesus & his wife Angelica are friendly and give great customer service and food. their mom & dad help out as well. if you are in the brea area you should stop by and experience TJ’s Cafe.
