    Supreme Chilaquiles
    Jose M.

    My supreme Chilaquiles were delicious! Carnitas, green sauce!! Fire!! I had already started my meal and remembered to take a picture! Shout out to ALFRED!! It's been a while since we run into exceptional service!! Awesome person! Place was clean and had the family breakfast vibes!

    Busy as usual! Plenty of employees so service is fast! I ordered the eggs Benedict and my wife two eggs with hash browns! The food was great!

    Breakfast carne asada burrito
    Minh V.

    Brandon's did not bring it. I had the breakfast burrito with carne asada and it was so bland, it was actually hard to eat. They gave me salsa and hot sauce, but that was basically all I tasted. Service's was the only good thing about this place. Our server was timely, accommodating, sweet and super friendly. The place was cute, clean, and easy to find. I just wish the food was better.

    Crunchy French toast

    This is my second time at Brandon's diner. They greeted us upon arrival. Sat us quickly and our food came out pretty quick, however, it was a thursday morning. Last time I went on a saturday morning and we had about a 20 min wait. I ordered the Crunchy French Toast combo. Crunchy French toast was pleasantly crunchy & crispy served with berries and dollops of whip cream! The eggs and hash browns were pretty standard. My sister got a bowl of oatmeal which was the biggest bowl of oatmeal I have ever seen. The only thing is they didnt offer smaller sizes. Idk anyone who eats that much oatmeal in one sitting ( i could be wrong, everyone has there own opinions). I think they should offer multiple sizes since they dont offer a childrens menu. Good place to eat on an early sunday morning.

    Incredibly friendly service when you walk in, they seat you quickly in freshly cleaned booths or tables. In a quiet little diner atmosphere you can enjoy a meal with friends or family. The food is delicious and they also have great presentation!

    This location on Magnolia Ave has a very home style, comfy, diner feel to it. The plateentrees are very hearty and delicious as well! Our waitress was very attentive and courteous too. Recommended!

    Charlie my server is friendly. Foood is great . Big portion . Price is affordable . Place is spacious and clean.

    Came on a Friday afternoon, wasn't busy. Quick service, food came out fast. Pancakes were clearly made with love

    Basic diner food. Staff is nice. Big open eating area. Beats Denny's. Seemed clean. Noise is a bit of an issue if you are hearing impaired.

The meal started off strong with their chips and salsa--super fresh and flavorful. For my entrée, I had the chicken fajitas. While they were cooked properly, I wish they had a bit more seasoning to really bring out the flavor. My wife had the enchiladas divorciadas, which were beautifully presented, but unfortunately, the filling was a bit cool. She probably should have sent it back, but since we were in a hurry, we didn't bother. On the positive side, my daughter had the carne asada burrito, and she said it was excellent. Service started off great with our younger male waiter being very attentive at first, but it slowed down significantly as our meal went on. By the end of our visit, I actually had to go up to the register to ask to pay. It was lunch time, and it wasn't that busy, so this felt a bit out of the ordinary. Despite the hiccups, I'm willing to give Morena's Mexican Cuisine another try, as it may have just been an off day. The chips and salsa, along with my daughter's burrito, showed that they definitely have what it takes to impress. I'll reserve final judgment after my next visit!

The bushes and hedges are car shaped which was really cool. There's a spot for Veterans parking. Interior - cool decor. Lots of tables everywhere. The bar area is roomy and there are tables on both sides of the bar. Fans overhead was a nice touch. Old gas pumps really fits in. Really cool vibe they got going. Food / Drinks - I had the breakfast burrito. It was a good size and a good burrito. Nothing out of the park but definitely worth the price and I would get it again. Wife had the taco combo plate. Chicken tacos were good but she wasn't too thrilled with the carne asada. Said it was too grounded up. Maybe if they left strips of the steak? Idk. Fish tacos were really good. Crispy and flavorful. Drinks were fantastic. I had the large Michelada, since it was two beers it tasted a bit light so Laura, our server gave us a cup of Michelada base. Poured a bit of that and the drink was perfect. Bloody Mary was perfect the way it came. Great job Laura. Service - This takes us back to Laura. We sat down at a table near the bar where she was working behind. She immediately noticed us and brought over menus. She was very friendly and cordial and was on point the entire time we were there. Give this lady a raise. I don't know if it was because it was early but she was wheeling and dealing the whole bar area and tables on her own, while service never felt lacking. We would come back just for the great service from Laura.

    First off, no pictures were taken before I started picking at my food. The person taking our order,…read moreshe was very nice and very helpful. We asked a few questions, asked about substitutions, and she answered everything. In the end, the order for myself was a 3 crispy chicken taco plate with rice, beans, chips and a drink. My husband got the 2 Gordita plate (asada and al pastor for the meat) with French fries, beans, chips and a drink. The prices were fairly decent, which I don't know why I was expecting it to be a bit more pricier (probably the way it's set up). However, the food was okay. At first bite, I expected flavor and received no flavor from the chicken tacos. My rice was on the cold side and the beans had some flavor and were warm, which I could tell also from the cheese melting. My focus was mostly on the tacos because for me it was a bit disappointing. I added a little bit of salt and salsa to help get some flavor, but it still wasn't reaching that expectation I had based on the look. My husband said his Gordita's were good. He said the meat had flavor versus my chicken tacos, the only thing he said he needed to add salt to were his French fries. Would I personally return? I would think about it, because there were other items I could still try and see how I feel. My husband did enjoy it, and said he wouldn't mind going back to try something else to see if it's a go or not.

The quesabirria was a one of my favorite things on the menu, one of the best I've had. Everything I had was top-notch! One of the best parts was the salsa bar.

The restaurant filled up quickly, the dine-in seats were all about taken and the outdoor patio was filling up too. The parking lot was very limited and one way, so just know that when pulling in.

I ordered in advance and went to pick up my food, but since I was starving, I ended up just eating there on their patio. The tacos were okay. Personally, I thought they were pretty mid and not as flavorful as I was hoping they'd be. They did have a spicy sauce that I dipped the tacos in, and that definitely helped the flavor. I personally didn't love the tacos, but to be fair, I also didn't try anything else on the menu so I can't speak for the rest of their food. The place itself is a decent size, and the patio area is actually pretty nice. The staff was very kind, my order was ready right on time, and I appreciated that they weren't stingy with the sauces. Overall not a bad spot, but the quesabirria tacos just didn't fully hit for me. Oh well *shrug*
