What a great find! We're in town for an event this weekend, and were looking for a non-chain place…read morefor brunch. A Yelp search helped us find Chelly's. We were seated quickly, and the menu had a lot of American and Mexican options. We ordered the waffle combo, strawberry waffles, and chorizo and eggs. The food was delicious and the portions were good-sized. My teen daughter, who's eaten waffles from a variety of restaurants over the years, said, "I think these are the best waffles I've ever had!" The servers were attentive and friendly, and the price was a good value for the amount and quality of food. We'd definitely go to Chelly's again.

First off, the hash browns are really crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I love hash browns and this one did not disappoint. I got a breakfast combo with eggs, avocado, ham and cinnamon French toast with strawberries and bananas. I thought the ham was going to be Canadian bacon but it was a big piece of ham. I didn't like the ham, but everything else was delicious. Their cinnamon French toast is made in like a cinnamon roll which was really good! The banana French toast was also a hit! Fluffy and sweet deliciousness! I forgot to take a picture, but we also got the pancakes with a side of strawberries and Nutella. All the food was homestyle comfort food that was simply delicious! Check out this hidden gem!

I called El Torito and asked if they could host my surprise dinner, whether they had space for 12-15 people, if we could reserve an area away from other guests, and if we could bring our own decorations for the tables. They were more than happy to accommodate all of it, and their servers were wonderful throughout the night. Everyone loved the food, and having the privacy of one of the back rooms made the whole evening feel even more special. My family, and especially my husband, had such a wonderful time. We can't thank El Torito enough for helping bring my vision to life!

Was told they don't serve Happy Hour at a seated table, but our waitress made an exception for us since we didn't know. It was hard to get service as our waitress was really busy. We ordered the Fresh Tableside Guacamole for $15, Street Corn for $4, Crispy Chicken Flautas for $8, Midori Melon Signature Margarita for $6, and Pomegranate Signature Margarita for $6. Was told the Horchata for around $5 was pretty good. We received complimentary chips and salsa and it was spicy, but good. The Fresh Tableside Guacamole was made fresh in front of us and was really good. They use the same chips for the salsa and guacamole. We were able to get multiple refills on the chips. The Street Corn was not good and was on the buttery side. The Crispy Chicken Flautas was really good with the sauces and came out hot and crispy. Both of the margaritas were weak, but we preferred the pomegranate over midori melon for flavor. They forgot our to go order and we had to go back to get it. Our waitress was nice but she was really busy and it was hard to get service. Would get the Fresh Tableside Guacamole and Crispy Chicken Flautas again.

Palmdale was our first pit stop on our way home from Kernville…read more Located close to HWY 14 and good sized parking lot. Not a super huge dining area but not tiny either. Plenty of booths and some two tops that can accommodate parties more than 4 people. We walked in and were instantly greeted by Irma at the counter. As she pointed out available booths, she gave us the rundown on breakfast specials (that are also written on the grease board). Besides a hot cup o' Joe- I wanted some light bites. My typical breakfast plates would consist of Country Fried Steak/ Corned Beef Hash/ or Steak & Eggs. This time- when I heard Irma mention Beef Barley soup, I thought a cup would suffice. Along with that- sides of crispy bacon (I think 5 strips came in that order) & an English muffin. Which was toasted to perfection. Once I took my first spoonful of the Beef Barley soup- I knew I was gonna order an entire bowl. The strips of beef had some of the tasty gristle that truly makes the broth. Simple hearty soup. No shortage of barley and beef. I haven't had this soup in so long, it brought me back to childhood. I couldn't stop raving about it, (I'm a gal of simple pleasures) to other patrons. Hubby's breakfast combo came with a huge portion of hash browns. I told him to pack it up in a To Go container w/ the remaining bacon. And the hash browns were just as buttery & delicious when I re heated them in my skillet later the following day. Irma kept checking on us and would chit chat here and there. She truly is a gem of a person. This is now my new breakfast spot next time we're in the

I ordered the two slices of French toast with bacon and my husband had the sausage skillet special. My French toast was delicious. He said he really liked his food too. This place is a little hole in the wall spot, which I actually prefer over the big chain restaurants. You tend to get better service and I'd rather support a small business. We're from out of town so this was a prefect find for us and I'd recommend this place. I'd come back if we were in the area.

However, they do fall short of showing me what makes them different from any other diner. The food is decent at best with no wow factor. I want to be left satisfied and wanting to come back. Corned beef hash is more hash brown with bits of corned beef in it. I do want to point that out as corned beef hash is my all time favorite option for breakfast. So I do know what that is suppose to be.

I'd also like to add that this is not the waitress fault in no way... I heard her ask the kitchen for my toast TWICE... and I made sure Rosie knew this. I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble, I'm just trying to provide feedback because truth is, if Rosie hadnt apologized, I doubt I would ever come back. I think I will come back but maybe not for breakfast. I heard the dinner is good. How long is too long to wait for your food? I arrived at 9:50 and was sat immediately (yay!!) Ordered about 10 minutes afterward... and the food arrived 30 minutes later. Feels like a long time to wait no? But I figured they're busy and its understandable for a Saturday morning. The problem is, they forgot part of my order (the toast) so we continued to wait and the food on the plate just kept getting colder and colder. After TWO reminders to the waitress, I got my toast at 10:43. I asked if i can speak to the manager, lets see how long it takes for her to come.

Not to mention how much cheating I was doing on my diet by having two milkshakes back to back.
