Nice employees, skilled chefs, great place. I was able to order carne asada fries because they had a carne special that day - maybe best I ever had. Fries were super crispy, meat was tender, came with everything on it including diced fresh avocado. Came with a fountain drink (fresh pink lemonade) for just under $15. read more

Chefs Cafe & Catering - Carne Asada Fries - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

You know how on Cheers the bar would say "Norm" when he walked in? That's the vibe. They are so welcoming, and it seems to be multi generational family operated. You get a free cookie on your first visit! Tuesday is Mexican day, and I had a very tasty pork chike verde. The beans were delicious. They tasted like my grandma's beans. The pork was well cooked and and they provided generous portions. The salad bar looked well stocked, charged by the pound. If you're in the area, highly recommend checking them out. read more

Called this business close to closing for the day and was treated with respect, energy, and warmth as if it was the beginning of the day. Picked up my order and it was just as personable if not more. Had a little trouble locating the business because Google was confused (which I hopefully cleared up for them) and they were apologetic. I also received a cookie for being a first timer :) Southwest Salad was delicious Angus burger and fries hit the spot. Looks like you can make a custom salad here too and the breakfast is desirable as well. Love the energetic vibe, the clean atmosphere and the healthy ingredients. read more

Chef Felix, Erica and the Entire Family that runs this Hidden Gem in North Torrey Pines knows they're doing in the Kitchen for sure! The menu is great with daily Breakfast and Lunch specials that appeal to all with different taste pallets. Don't forget the desserts that are made fresh by Chefs Cafe. You have to try Erica's Tiramisu and Choco-Flan', I recommend it! Chefs Cafe is very clean and the "A" sign hanging should have a "Plus" added to it. Fortunate to have Chefs Cafe onsite at my employment! read more

Chefs Cafe & Catering - Breakfast sandwich croissant - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Today's special was Cuban sandwich. I didn't feel like eating a sandwich. The chef was very accommodating when I asked for a quesadilla instead. He made me a warm and crispy quesadilla with the Cuban pork and melted cheese. He even asked me if I want anything else in the quesadilla. The pork was a little on the salty side but I still enjoyed the quesadilla. Everyone working in this cafe is so nice and welcoming. The cafe opens from 7:30am to 1:45pm Monday through Friday. I got there around 1:30. There were still four or five other people getting food there. It's nice to have chef's cafe here. read more

Once you find this place, people are very nice, good was great. Very good value for money.

This a a cafe within one of the biotech buildings but the food is much better than you'd expect. We walked over from the hospital and found the food to be cheaper and much tastier than the hospital cafeteria. Everyone was also very nice. read more

If I could give this place 10 stars, I would! Chef Felix and his crew are wonderful and alwaysss upbeat and welcoming. They don't treat you like a number in the crowd, they actually engage in conversations with you and are truly genuine. I am in LOVE with their Ropa vieja and they know it too. I emailed them to ask to put in their menu more and every time I come in to get some, they remember who I am. Chef Felix recently made cochinita pibil and I was amazing!! Ropa vieja and the pibil is my favorites. The variety of food he make is amazing. I love everything that he cooks. I have yet to try their sandwiches but I'm sure they're just as great. If any of you people who work around the area, I highly suggest chef felixs if you want to have great good, great customer service and overall a great experience. Every time I leave the cafe with my food, I'm filled with joy because of how caring and nice everyone is that works here! read more

Chefs Cafe & Catering - Cochinta Pibil with some rice, beans, two warm tortillas, lime, and lemon soaked onions with some habanero peppers. DELICIOUS!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

I work in the building, so I come here quite often and never get tired of their food. Chef Felix, Mama, the whole family and everyone working here are always super friendly. The food is really tasty and affordable, especially the chipotle chicken ciabatta sandwich and their flatbreads. I always get a side of their homemade chipotle salsa too. In fact, anything with chicken is excellent here since Chef grills it fresh every morning. Would definitely recommend! read more

Chef Felix is back! And he brought the salad bar with him. They also have breakfast starting at 7:30am, rotating daily lunch specials and deli sandwiches and wraps. For a small corporate cafe tucked into the back of the building they do a pretty good job. And BBQ's on Fridays, just like the old days! read more

I love the revolving menu. Great food in general. The salad bar is fantastic (great selection) and cheap (generally around $5 - $7 for a good size salad). Friday BBQ is always good (I usually get the steak) and their daily specials are generally great too. I work down the street and go here 3-5 times a week. No complaints at all. I'd recommend. read more

Great place, even if you are not an employee! Fresh salad bar, wraps, even Mole chicken!

Incredibly nice people, well run, very clean facility and most of all the food was fantastic! read more

This is a great friendly place with wonderful home made food. It is nestled on the hilltop overlooking the San Diego valley and around the corner is an ocean view.
