    Side salad
    Justin W.

    I really dig Brandon's. What's not to love? Friendly staff, solid food with a wide variety of options and breakfast all day. Oh and the prices are very fair in 2025. As an added bonus, this location has some cool "flair" like signs about tacos. You can also watch sports here on their big screen TV. As a resident of west Los Angeles - I wish there was a way for this great diner to expand our our way.

    Where's the sauce?

    Came here and there was a wait. Must be good right. Wellllllll....what I ordered wasn't. I ordered green chilaquiles and when it came it's just looked like chips. Did they even coat it with sauce? I think the server noticed because she offered me salsa without me asking. However, she brought me red chip salsa. Wasn't going to work for me. Very disappointed. The service was good and speedy.

    Great service and food. Andie (server) always does a great job. This local spot is a must stop in the Upland area. Good size menu with American and Mexican food!

    Decided to stop here and get a bite to eat haven't been here in years. Customer service was amazing. Everybody in there was so super friendly. We were seated pretty quickly. The waitress came and asked us what we would like to drink,and order looked over the menu decided what we wanted to eat. She came back. We placed our order for our Food. She was very friendly, we waited 10 minutes for our Food and everything came out and looked delicious. Waitress checked on us often to see how everything was and if we needed anything. The vibe in the place was great very friendly and relaxed Food was good big portions

    Decent little family dinner, specializing in Breakfast. Was in upland for Thanksgiving holiday visiting my siblings so wanted to eat a bit healthy. Ordered the egg, white omelette and fruit side. Nicely done but nothing exception.

    Breakfast burrito, fork for scale

    I remember at my old job, a colleague of mine would always stop by Brandon's on the way in to work and grab some of us breakfast burritos. They were always so delicious and hit the spot! I had been craving a really good breakfast burrito for a while, so I knew exactly where to go! I ordered for delivery and upon receipt, the bag was heavy because these things are huge and PACKED! I decided to order some chips and salsa as well because I didn't want to risk the salsa being forgotten, because that is what takes the burrito to new heights! I was glad I did because even though I asked for extra salsa, I did not receive it, just the chips/salsa order. I ordered the burrito with bacon and it was perfect. I will seriously get at least one other meal out of this thing. Craving officially and happily satisfied!

    Bacon omelette

    This one hurts. I almost hate to write this. But Seriously, what happened here guys? A year ago I gave you 5 stars and today we couldn't even finish our food. Normally someone asks how everything was, but not today. Even the cashier didn't ask. Maybe they already know. We ordered the biscuits and gravy which a year ago was very good. Today I would refer to the gravy as salt gravy rather than sausage gravy. The biscuits tasted like a box mix. I can normally eat the biscuits and gravy even when less than desirable, but not today. 3 bites hoping for a better experience each bite and I could not finish them. My wife couldn't finish hers either. My wife had the cinnamon roll revolution. The French toast was quite good, but the cinnamon roll was hard and tasted funky like it was old. The sausage was fine and her eggs were perfect. I had the bacon omelette with the hash browns crisp. This is the first place to get my hash browns actually crisp. Good job there. The omelette was dry, but maybe it was my fault for ordering it without cheese. The coffee and coffee service were phenomenal. The seating is comfortable.

The portions were ok, and the margarita was large and refreshing and good actually, but I had to ask for it 3x, but the food itself was only okay. Nothing we ordered stood out enough to make us want to return. We sat down and it wasn't busy. 15 min later they came and took our order. The hostess that came to us first was attentive he was really the only one. The biggest disappointment was the customer service. Throughout our entire visit, there was very little attention from all staff. We rarely saw our server, drinks went unrefilled longer than they should have, and there was no effort to check in and see how our meal was. I never once was asked if I would like another margarita. Hospitality can make a huge difference, and unfortunately it was lacking here. This is huge for me in a sit down. The restaurant has a fun sports-bar atmosphere with plenty of TVs, but the restroom also needed attention and wasn't as clean as expected. Overall, not a terrible experience, but not one I'd go out of my way to repeat at all. There are too many great Mexican restaurants in the area for this one to make it back onto my regular rotation. Probably won't be returning at all.

The "band" ended up being one man performing, so we accepted the explanation and sat elsewhere. A few minutes later, another couple walked in, asked for a booth, and was seated there without any issue. That immediately made us feel like we weren't valued as customers. It was Taco Tuesday, and we were excited to see fresh tortillas being made. Unfortunately, instead of serving fresh tortillas, they opened the container holding older tortillas and plated those for us. We ordered three different meats, but when our food arrived, every single item was cold. The tortillas were so cold they had become hard and stiff instead of soft and fresh. When we mentioned it to the staff, we were told the food gets cold because they have a fan blowing directly toward it. That's not really an acceptable explanation Between the inconsistent seating, poor customer service, and cold, flavorless food, the experience was extremely disappointing. We left feeling unwelcome, and the food itself was far from the authentic Mexican cuisine we were hoping for. Sadly, we won't be returning.

The burrito is as big as my arm. The sample platter which had nachos, taquitos, and cheese sticks was super delicious. The chips they used for nachos was totally thicker than the ones they give as an appetizer which I found interesting. A little bummer that they weren't willing to give refills on the chips and salsa. I feel like they did it bottomless when we went the last year. Perhaps times are tough. It also feels like service quality dipped since last year. Staff were less friendly and excited. We were there around 6:30 and we were pretty much the only customer there when we arrived. So it was a bit hard to stomach on how slow water refills were.
