I've had this place bookmarked for a while since it was local and had great reviews. I finally decided to stop by today to pick up lunch. Parking in the mini front lot is a pain, but there's plenty of street parking available since the place is on a street corner. Street parking would probably be a better/ safer choice. The inside is clean and simple. There's a self serve salsa bar to the side of the register. The menu boards are a bit scattered, but easy enough to navigate. Service is friendly. Credit cards are charged an extra $1. Lastly, the food itself. I ordered chili cheese fries, asada fries, and an asada quesadilla for about $22. Pricing is pretty average for a diner, and it fed 6 people. The chili cheese fries were not great. I don't know what it was, but the chili was unlike any I've ever tried. Everyone that had a bite took a pause to try to figure it out. It wasn't so bad that we stopped eating though. We still finished it, but agreed not to order it again. The asada fries were probably the best part of the meal. They were smothered with delicious toppings. My only complaint about it would be the texture of the meat. They were definitely a few bites where I kept chewing until I gave up and spit it out. The quesadilla was odd to me. It had avocado slices, lettuce, and tomatoes in it. I was expecting just meat and cheese. The combination worked, but there wasn't enough cheese aka glue to keep the thing together. Everything was slipping out and it was annoying to eat. It was good at first, but I felt like it got saltier the more it cooled down. The last few bites had me reaching for the water. All in all, I don't plan on coming back. There were a few other items I wanted to try, but I'm not tempted anymore. read more

Great inexpensive place for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Their breakfast burritos are huge, it can last two meals (I had the bacon breakfast burrito). Friendly service, always refilling your coffee cup. Check out their specials posted on the windows and chalkboard by the cash register. BTW, there's seems to be another entry here http://www.yelp.com/biz/brothers-burger-el-monte read more

Ordered Steak and Egg BREAKFAST. RIB EYE STREAK is as good as your Good-Year Tires from the car... Hard as you know what. Meat for some reason smells, and tastes like an old cow... Brought my own Snapple, WITH MY OWN CUP. ASKED FOR SOME ICE. Owner is the cook, wife is a waitress... IMMEDIATELY she asks husband, HOW MUCH SHOULD I CHARGE FOR THE ICE??? HE ANSWERS, charge him .50¢ WTF??? I just paid $10.00 for a HOMELESS plate, that I couldn't even eat because the smelly steak like a farm. What a CHEAP atmosphere. Remember... The wife will smile... With that $10 RIP OFF, I COULD HAVE WENT TO DENNY'S, or NORM'S, and would have gotten a better plate, and cheaper. GUARANTEED... AMERICAN restaurant wouldn't ever charge a customer .50¢. Now, go and support your local hungry money THIRD WORLD PRETENDATION ARISTOCRSTIC JOINT... Never will come back for a highway robbery... read more

Stopped to get breakfast at 8:15am but doors locked and no one here. Looks like maybe they are out of business. No cars in parking lot either read more

Tried this place for the first time and I'm sorry I stopped here for breakfast.... I ordered the pancakes and eggs and my pancakes were uncooked inside!! They gave me a bad stomachache and when I told the girl and the lady that the pancakes were raw they just looked at me. The lady finally said you want more?? Oh no thanks.... my stomach was already hurting ‍. That's it they don't offer anything else.... so I was leaving the lady yelled "have a nice day" Thanks for a bad day and a bad stomachache. Will not be returning here ever and I don't recommend it to anyone read more

We come in here quite a bit, and we enjoy the food. I am tempted to give it a five, but the food consistency seems to vary in my opinion. Especially in regards to the meat quality. I could be imagining it but I am fairly certain that on some days the meat/produce is freshest and the food tastes best and on other days it simply is lacking the flavor we all look for in good food. Good variety of food, but AVOID the Fried Chicken. My wife ordered a Fried Fish meal, and I will bet you anything they used the same oil for my chicken because my chicken tasted fishy. They have an excellent Banana Split sundae though, and great Cocidos. read more

I've been going to this place for years and love it! I always get the sausage breakfast burritos with amazing red salsa everyone is so nice there. read more

If you are looking for a cozy place to eat this the place. Excellent service and the food is really good I highly recommend it.

A place that serves American & Mexican food that taste great. They have specials on some days of burgers and tacos. I've tried their tacos and they are fairly good with simple ingredients..meat and salsa. Their ingredients are completely fresh and when your meal is set on the table you will highly satisfied with it. The place itself is a little outdated, but still comfortable for families. read more

I love this place but they don't open at 8 second time I come in a little bit after 8 and it's close

I came here because it had a 4.5 star rating and I wanted to check it out. Oh, yeah, I was hungry as well. I ordered the chilaquiles w. Green sauce. It was good. I little spicy for me, but I am a light weight in the spice category. I didn't give it a 5 star because they charge $1.00 for credit card or debit card transactions. They also charge .75 for refills. I guess I'm used to the free unlimited refills at many other restaurants. But I would come back again. I just need to bring cash and stick with water. read more

Well this place is so good ughhh!!! Damn and the service is great. I love the hamburger specials also there tacos are so good everything is delicious lol keep up the good work guys. read more

Best Burrito in town. Their chili is super chiloso but it's damn good. Their Shrimp cocktail is good also.

I had been craving a burger for the past week. And, I happen to live about a block away from this little restaurant. I don't drive and any other burger joint is about 10 minutes walking distance from me. The only complaint I have is that the last 3 times I attempted to come here - at different hours mind you - they happened to be closed! Their sign says they closed at 9pm, but it is best to call them and check because they are sometimes closed as early as 6pm. Luckily, they were opened today and I ordered their double burger combo. They aren't kidding with this burger! It was huge and so delicious! I was sad to see it disappear into my belly, lmao! The meat was fresh, lettuce was fresh, the tomato was fresh, the bun was fresh and the thousand island dressing was messy and, oh, soooooo good. I love that they don't season their french fries. I just wish they gave you a bigger drink with this combo. I mean, a huge burger, deserves a large drink at best.None the less, This was the best $8 I spent! The only thing keeping me from giving it 4 stars is their hours of operation. But, their burgers are always delicious and deserve 4 stars, maybe even 5 stars. Their customer service is always welcoming and nice. the place is always clean. And, aside from the burgers, their breakfast plates aren't too shabby either, pretty tasty stuff. ***Btw, beware, because sometimes, drunks or homeless people kick it in that little shopping center near the restaurant - welcome to El Monte, folks! read more

Breakfast burrito and an order of chilaquiles for $20 without any drinks or sides...overpriced in my opinion

I recommend you try the huevos rancheros with hash browns & beans tastes like home cooking

They have the best Food in town. The cook deserves a standing ovation. He knows his foods and knows exactly how it should be cooked and seasoned. His daughter has the best personality and she is a sweetheart, always smiling and calm no matter how busy they are. Great service great food. Would recommend it 100%! read more

Really love this place always place phone orders and are done right away must-try hole in the wall once again I love this place

The best place to eat in a hundred mile radius. Awesome food. Awesome cook. Awesome customer service. Simply the best.

Food is ok service is with an attitude. Pancakes are wack. If you got a large family and low on cash this is the spot.

This is place is awesome. They offer steak, egg and hashbown combo which taste delicious. We ordered .and they brought it to us in like 10 minutes. They get whatever we requested. Their chicken nugget is a lot better than fast food chain and the portion include fries. read more

The five star is in regards to the chicken burrito only, I haven't tried anything else yet. It was excellent. Good flavor, tasted fresh, quality meat and generous size. Salsa bar rocks too. read more

Came for breakfast. Ordered the green & red chilaquiles. They were very good but the red was a little too spicy for my daughter. So she ordered a steak sandwich & she said it was good. It'll be a new spot for us read more

First visit, took a chance based on the reviews. Ordered carne asada breakfast which came with eggs, hash browns, beans and toast. Asked for the carne to be cooked so it's pink; medium. Received well done carne which I did go ahead and tried to eat. The flavor wasn't bad but hard to eat with the toughness of being well done. The eggs and hash browns were pretty good and staff friendly. Prices are good here but I probably would not come back. Oh my toast was almost burnt as well so that was another bummer. 3 stars are trying to be fair but maybe closer to 2 stars. read more

I didn't know they had a Yelp account, we come from Whittier to get our car serviced next door to this place and always come here to eat. The food is fantastic and the customer service is excellent as well highly recommended this family-owned restaurant read more

Super bomb Mexican food can never go wrong with what you order everything taste extremely good! Super friendly as well with their customers

I'm the pickiest Mexican ever when it comes to food. I like my food authentic and full of flavor like my mom and the Tias make it and this place is as close to authentic Mexican Food as it gets for a fast food joint. The refried beens are delicious! The Machaca and Caldo de Res is my go to every time but if you like menudo by far this is the best spot in SGV. The service is great! Very friendly and they constantly cater to you. I would honestly pay double of what they charge, their prices are ridiculously low and very well worth the drive. I live in Glendale and have a top 5 Mexican restaurant down the street from me where every time I go I spend $80 just for myself! W $80 bucks here you feed an army. Bomb.com!!! read more

The food here is so yummy. I love authentic Mexican food and for this place being a "fast food" restaurant. It's nothing like fast food. Good quality food at a good price. Home made salsa and tortillas. The menudo is so good! read more
