"The chilaquiles are WILDLY good - I don’t know what magic they do to keep the chips crispy and still saucy but it’s insane. I love that it comes with beans too. They’ve seriously ruined all other restaurants’ chilaquiles for me because they just don’t stack up to Eat Chow. My boyfriend always gets the spicy chorizo hash and loves it. The crispy cauliflower is bomb. Service is great, and the outdoor dining area is so nice. That being said, anytime we’ve deviated away from our usual favorite dishes, we’ve been disappointed. (The avo toast and arugula salad - ostensibly a really easy dish to not mess up - was one of the worst meals I’ve ever had in my life.) I would also advise against going towards the end of the brunch service when they’re about to switch over to dinner because the quality of the food is noticeably worse then. And the menu is constantly changing - I used to love the potato tacos on the dinner menu, but it looks like they took those away, so that sucks. The main downside of this place is that the drinks are hella expensive. I know it’s tough out there for restaurants, but $10 for a 12 oz can (not even draft) of basic lager feels pretty outrageous. The cocktails are also very expensive and aren’t even made with real liquor. They don’t have a hard liquor license, so they use those weird wine-based fake “liquors” in cocktails (and don’t exactly make this clear on the menu, which is a tad shady). They’re very tasty - especially the espresso martini - but just not worth the cost for us, so we only come here when we’re feeling a non-boozy brunch. TL/DR: get the chilaquiles or spicy chorizo hash - SO GOOD - the rest of the menu can be a bit of a wildcard. Drinks are pricey but delicious."
"The food is above average. The service and atmosphere are excellent. Highly recommend. The atmosphere gives modern California vibes. Simple colors and decorations are brightly lot by the bright sun streaming through the windows. Outdoor seating is along a quiet street for being so close to a main road. I would have liked more covered seating, but if you don't mind sun exposure, this is a great option. The menu reflects a culinary point or view that is distinctly southern Californian. The food is good in large part because the ingredients are good. The dishes are simple, but thoughtful and expertly prepared. I would eat here regularly if it were close by. The dishes are affordable and the menu has a diverse set of options. The service was truly outstanding. In addition to excellent table service, our server let me use the bathroom not associated with my gender presentation because of a significant wait. Then the server followed up with me, a non-binary person, to add that they are doing away with gendered bathrooms and that the bathrooms were functionally identical. Music to my ears."
"7/28/2023 I had the Spanish style rotisserie chicken salad, it was delicious. My sangria was good too. Our server was nice. Very nice meal overall. Original Post The fillet is small but not too expensive, the small enchilada that comes with it was a great surprise. The server was great and fun to talk to. I would go back for sure."
"Came by for some lunch during the weekday and it wasn't so busy. Service was great, staff are very friendly. Ordered some burgers and fries and they were all very delicious."
"I’ve been wanting to try this spot for a while! Cute little restaurant that serves up a variety of dishes. Smaller inside than I expected it would be but the dim lighting and colors of everything still made it feel spacious yet intimate. Unfortunately they didn’t have a wide variety of didn’t options. For an appetizer we got the cheesy tater tots and it was hot and so savory. I ordered the Tuscan salmon and it did not disappoint! It was delicious! With a creamy tomato base under and a yummy buttery risotto nests the salmon. My friend ordered the spicy sausage pasta and I tried a bite! It was equally sweet, spicy, and creamy!"
