    Avocado toast with chorizo
    Stephanie C.

    My husband and I come to Brandon's often. We love their food specials and friendly service. We recently visited and tried the Avocado toast. I had them add chorizo to the top of the toast and it was like something I've never tried before. The portion was very generous and delicious! I recommend ordering this the next time you are in. Our waitress Stephanie was the best!

    Taco Salad

    We went there for dinner arriving at 4:15 on a Saturday and was very good experience. Our first time at this location and servers were very good, took our drink orders and then our entrees. I ordered the taco salad with carne asada no tomatoes or guacamole and was pretty good size and tasted very good. I think worth the $16.00. Servers were good at refilling our drinks and gave us boxes to go with our meals. FYI: their hot chocolate is made with water and says at the hostess table no outside food or drinks.

    I'm a sucker for diners...this Brandon's use to be Mimi's Cafe a long time ago. The inside is really clean and nicely decorated! Everyone was so nice and attentive! They have Monday thru Friday breakfast specials. I went with the Tuesday special, which was French toast, 2 eggs and sausage links. I also ordered coffee! For me this is comfort food and it was delicious! The coffee kept on coming too so I welcomed it haha. Overall I had a great experience coming here!

    While in the area for an appointment the family and I decided to eat at a local eatery before we headed to another appointment across town. I so happened to see Brandon's Diner while pulling into the plaza nearby my appointment. I quickly looked it up. I was sold! We were quickly seated upon arrival and Mia was our server. Mia brought us the regular menu along with thier weekly specials for the day. We all were excited to try this location. Our drinks came quickly. We overlooked the menu it all looked good. We ordered the Carnitas plate that was in the weekly specials. I wanted fish n onion rings which was on thier regular menu along with chicken tenders with tortilla soup. The soup came out first so my mother-in-law could begin eating. Our food was perfect, service was perfect, Mia was very attentive. Before we left we decided to take an oreo shake to go. We decided to wait on Mia she was servicing many tables alone. So once she was free she came and dropped off shake. We cannot wait to try this establishment again. Plenty parking

    Thursday special turkey sausage, eggs, and crispy hash browns
    Yvette A.

    First time here and was welcomed by Stephanie who was friendly and gave wonderful recommendations. Place is clean and perfect for families. Coffee was tasty!!! Food is fresh, seasoned to taste and serving size was amazing! Hubby had the chilaquiles breakfast and couldn't finish it but it was yummy!! Potatoes were perfect and beans were creamy and tasty! I tasted their Thursday breakfast special (there's a different one for every day of the week) it was delicious!! Turkey sausage, eggs made to order and crispy hash browns!!! Hidden gem!!! We will definitely be back to taste their other plates! The pictures don't the planets justice! Great place! Thank you Stephanie

    And it's no coincidence I've come And I can die when I'm done  Corned Beef Hash Plate w/ sourdough and sunny & runny eggs
    Mojo S.

    It's true I praise innovation and coloring outside the lines thinking when it comes to breakfast. I love when restaurants remix hashes or skillets by putting a different kind of meat or new ingredient to the process. Elk hash, walleye hash, hatch chile pork hash, &c...--it's all good to me. That said, I also do love when a restaurant can make the classics confidently and with authority. When I asked how their corned beef hash was, they said it was damn good. And it was. Nothing added, nothing new in the preparation--but they made it like they've been sling cbh for decades. Not to mention their plain hash browns was perfect. They had mixed in the crispy edges into the pile rather than leaving it as an upper and lower shell on the pile. I love when places do this. The rest of the breakfast was good. They maybe buttered my sourdough too much. The eggs were less runny than I would've liked. And I only got 3 refills instead of my usual 5-6 as the server almost ignored checking on me and my coffee for the last ten to fifteen minutes of my meal. I did not like that as I want as much coffee you can make while I'm there. But, otherwise, the meal was impeccable. I like the space was kind of big and comfortable and not jammed into together. There were a lot of cops there at breakfast as it seems to be a popular morning spot for them. But that just says to me the food is a good and a good value because that's where police tend to congregate. All in all, this was a tremendously satisfying breakfast--the lack of coffee refills not withstanding.

    Today was a good day to try "Menudo" from Brandon's Diner. They offer it on the weekends and it's made from scratch...homemade. It was absolutely delicious. They offer it in two sizes...small and large bowls with all of the condiments. It did not disappoint. If you're in the area and you enjoy "Menudo," please look no further than Brandon's Diner. I promise you won't be disappointed. Recommendation Only...I would like to see them make it with either a little more hominy or offer hominy on the side for those that prefer more hominy in their menudo.

    11/6/24 So excited to finally try Brandon's Cafe

    11/6/24 Trying a local favorite, BRANDON's is sure to satisfy your (pumpkin pancakes) cravings! Met up with our dear friend at one of his favorite restaurants. He's gotten around to about 19 check-ins at this special place, they must be doing something right! We were seated right away by our wonderful server. Coffee was served to warm us up a bit. I was craving pumpkin pancakes and I just went with a simple combo with scrambled eggs & bacon. Hubby ordered his usual, chorizo. Our friend ordered a burrito. Our food arrived in no time & our cups were always refilled. Our servers on the call, big smiles, efficient & friendly. I can definitely see the draw for locals to keep coming by for delicious food & great service. Aesthetics? This place is clean & tastefully decorated the way Mimi's used to be, almost like modern country style. The huge pumpkin pancakes really hit the spot--moist, fluffy, somewhat dense with a little plump & chew-the way I prefer it. It paired very well with the coffee. It was a great dining experience with great food, service, ambiance,,,

    Great food Great service My server karla was amazing. Me and my family will definitely be back.

    The food was good. The Menudo was not as good as the one on foothill. But it was good. . Kathy was exceptional with her customer service . Will be back .

    Mexican breakfast. Eggs with Enchiladas
    Victor H.

    First time we been here. We like the other diner down the street but we wanted to try something different. The place wasn't crowded on a Saturday night so service was good and hostess was friendly. The menu was kinda too big so took a while to decide what to get, breakfast, dinner and good selection of Mexican food My only complaint is that the senior menu is only Mon-Fri I had fish and chips, a little oily but ok. Wife had Mexican breakfast eggs with enchiladas. Prices very comparable to other local diners Will be back when we're in the area

    Great customer service!! FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! Highly recommended! The quantity of foods was awesome!

Chilaquiles - So good! You can get them red or green and both hit the spot. The beans and rice were also tasty and balanced the plate perfectly.

For non-alcoholic options, the guava drink was super refreshing, and the horchata was creamy and delicious. Overall, Pueblita is such a wholesome, delicious spot for Mexican food in Upland. Great vibes, amazing food, tasty drinks -- what more do you need? I definitely recommend stopping by the next time you're in Upland, California!
