Came to this place on a whim for breakfast and I must say I was impressed. The place itself is not very modern or flashy but the food is good. I had the Breakfast Combo and it was more than I could finish. I am very particular about pancakes so I was eager to try these. They were fluffy without being spongey which I liked. The hashbrowns were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My daughter had the French Toast and she loved it. It doesn't taste like it just covered in cinnamon. Its more like a cinnamon sugar. Like a churro. Its addictive to say the least. My husband had the breakfast tacos and he was sold from the first bite. He asked for more sauce because it was that good. The staff seems to be family so that's nice. We enjoy a mom and pop over a chain. I can see this being a place we come back to. read more

This is one of those gems that you just happen to run across and wonder how you didn't know about it. I came here with friends for breakfast one morning after they happened to find it during a search for a new breakfast spot. We were promptly and warmly welcomed in and seated immediately. The breakfast menu had a lot of options with a good variety of food from traditional American food to Mexican food to Guatemalan food. I stuck with the traditional French toast breakfast this time, but I will definitely be back and trying more. All of our food was cooked perfectly and was delicious. The staff was very attentive. The prices were decent. Overall, I was very impressed with this cafe. This will probably be my new go to breakfast place. read more

Chiroys Cafe - French Toast Breakfast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spring Valley, California

Chiroy offers Mexican American and Guatemalan (Chapín) cuisine. I come in for breakfast to sit and enjoy the calm yet vibrant vibe. The menudo is to die for. I typically don't finish it in 1 sitting so I order it in a to go bowl. The grilled food is the best if you ask me. I haven't found another restaurant that offers Guatemalan food but the food reminds me of the time I spent traveling Guatemala. read more

Chiroys Cafe - Menudo with hash browns and refried beans. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Spring Valley, California

We stopped over here to eat breakfast before going to the San Diego Zoo. Lots of free parking since it's in a lot. The service was very friendly. I really liked the decor inside the restaurant. They have a big menu. I got the Guatemalan breakfast chiroy combination. Huge portion size. It comes with churrasco, longaniza, chorizo, beans, eggs, and fried plantains. Everything was very good. No complaints. The prices were very fair. I would recommend not ordering the traditional American breakfast items. You can get that anywhere. Try something new. read more

My Mom suggested we try this place as we heard it was really good. They have a wide range of food that includes American and Mexican. Upon walking in the door, I noticed the restaurant was clean and orderly. We were seated at a comfortable booth and greeted by the owner, and he showed us to our table. The nice waitress came over and took our order. I was really overwhelmed because there were so many dishes on the menu to choose from. I decided to get a Pollo Asado or they call it Chicken burrito with sliced avocado on the side. My Mom ordered Pozole. The chips came with our meals with a hot sauce that was so flavorful and also an Avicado salsa I think it is. So delicious I need the recipe! Our food was served shortly after. The meals were ample in size and that first bite was perfection! The food is homemade with love, flavor, and care. I told the owner how much we loved the food. He stopped by our table to talk to us a little bit. He was so friendly and warm hearted. This place feels like a place that people go to for "COMFORT FOOD" with a clean, orderly, and pleasant environment. I love how they also praise God with some photos on the wall. They also had other beautiful photos up. And, if you love to watch anything good on the big screen, they have it there for you also! This is a place I highly recommend for a great, pleasant, friendly, and awesome-tasting food experience! Go experience "Chiroys" today! read more

Everything about our breakfast here was wonderful! The Guatemalan combination breakfast and huevos rancheros were both excellent, and the café de olla was the perfect cozy touch. The staff were attentive and super kind. There was a very tiny mishap with one dish (something that can happen anywhere), but the team handled it promptly and professionally. We left very happy and will definitely be back! So glad there's a legit breakfast spot close to home finally! read more

I had breakfast. 2 eggs, 4 sausages, Red Potatoes, pancakes (2). The red potato homefries were the best I have had since traveling in the southern US, maybe the best. Service great. Nice open fresh feel to the place. It is in an older strip mall and all the way to the back. Worth looking for. read more

The best breakfast in east county! I've been here a few times and the food and service is consistently fantastic. Today, my husband got the huevos divorciadas with cafe de olla and I got the churrasco with an horchata mocha frappuchino. Omg. So good! I will definitely be getting that drink every time I come back! read more

I had a nice breakfast here at Chiroy's Cafe new location in Spring Valley or Casa de Oro in Campo Road. I had the trio of breakfast tacos plate. You get to choose your protein for your tacos and sides for $12.99 plus tax, and $3.49 plus tax for regular coffee. I had hash browns and black beans on the side. The breakfast tacos came generously filled with scrambled eggs, bacon, cheese, and hash browns. I wish I would of known that the tacos came with hash browns in them, because I would not of had them as my side. At any rate, the tacos were tasty. The eggs were well scrambled and the bacon was really good. The hash browns were good but they could of been crispier. They need that nice crunch, the ones in the tacos and on the plate. Also, I thought the breakfast tacos would of been better served if they chopped the bacon up and mixed it with the eggs, and garnish the tacos with either some chopped green onions or a touch of pico de gallo. Just a touch. The black beans were of the refried variety. I thought they were whole when I ordered them, but nevertheless, they were tasty and creamy. Service was very pleasant. You order at the table, but then pay at the counter. There's plenty of inside seating. There's also a bar, where they serve eats, beer, and wine. read more

Another great breakfast at Chiroy's! If you've not been in a while, you need to come and check out the renovations! They removed the interior wall to open up the space and the bar area is so open and airy now. And Chiroy's now serves beer and wine. Today, we sat on the front patio to enjoy the view of Mt Helix. We ordered huevos rancheros with flour tortillas and a veggie omelette with fresh fruit and homemade English muffin and decaf coffee. I wish they offered a decaf version of their cafe olla--I did try their caffeinated cafe olla but I can't handle caffeine any more Martin Chiroy is the owner and he kept my coffee and water filled and served our food promptly. Chiroy's opened in November 2024. He has invested in our community--let's each of us invest in this small business and help it thrive! read more

FINALLY a breakfast diner in the Casa De Oro area that's not a chain and not a cut/paste of everything that already exist. Rediculously filling plates, good strong coffee, and friendly service. You can tell it's already becoming a local favorite as locals (like me) discover it. I'd suggest you think differently about Chiroy's, it's not an American Diner, and it's not a typical mexican eatery making breakfast dishes. True, wide variety of south american favorites with a nod to what we're used to here. There's nothing fancy here decoration wide, just good food and good food at a price. I'd recommend making this your go to quickly, anything else just won't be as good. read more

The food was amazing. Drove from LA to visit San Diego and came across this place. Overall had a good experience for randomly choosing this place on my maps. The service was amazing. Martin was a very kind server and explained everything well. Juan was a good ass cook and made the food fire. I would recommend this place and I would come back and make that drive. read more

Tried Chiroy's for the first time and it was a success! Although they serve much more than breakfast, I am most excited to have another breakfast spot option close to home. I assume it is the same owners as the one in National City, and after reading the good reviews there, I had to give this a shot. We went on a Sunday at approximately noon. The place was clean, had several other patrons, and we were acknowledged immediately by a friendly staff member. The menu had plenty of options but I knew from the other location's reviews that we were ordering the chilaquiles. We opted for the red sauce, beans, and potatoes for sides. We also got an order of the birria tacos. As for the chilaquiles, they were delicious! The perfect amount of sauce for the chips to be coated but they still maintained a good amount of crunchiness. The potatoes were seasoned well and the beans were flavorful. The birria tacos were juicy and tasty as well. The food came out quickly and the salsas provided were both great. The wait staff was friendly and attentive and the overall experience was positive. We will definitely be back. The price point is on par with most other breakfast spots around town and the portion sizes are good. I recommend giving them a try. read more

Such an awesome find for breakfast! They also serve lunch, so I'm definitely coming back to try more. There's plenty of parking and seating, and the dining area is super clean, spacious, and welcoming. Convenient bar seating for sole diners. The staff were really friendly and attentive, and there was no wait when we came on a Saturday morning. We ordered the café de olla instead of regular coffee, it was so good. They have tons of breakfast options to choose from including Mexican and Guatemalan breakfast. Portions are generous and prices are very reasonable. We had the mixed omelette with potatoes and tortillas and a breakfast combo, and everything was delicious. We left full and happy. If you're in the area, definitely check this place out, it's such a great addition to the neighborhood! read more

Stopped here today - so pleasantly surprised! It is newly opened in the old "Rana's" spot. The menu looks fantastic. I got the Mix Omelette because it was first on the menu and I intend coming back until I've worked my way through the menu. The omelette was so fluffy and delicious - the generous fillings were l cooked before adding to the omelette and it made such a difference. My spouse had the French Toast and he said it was excellent. The staff was wonderfully attentive and friendly. So happy to see this wonderful little place open. I hope East county gives it the support it deserves! read more

Hello Mr Chiroys. i won't be going back anymore , i'm not satisfied with service anymore. i feel like ever since that young lady stopped coming in on tuesdays and then all of a sudden on the weekends too service is horrible there. very beautiful restaurant but your customer service doesn't make up for it these new people don't have manners or morals. i love your food but it's no longer the same. service for me is everything. your food could be great but customer service needs to match it. good while it lasted read more

Country Fried steak and eggs with biscuits and sausage gravy. Was not on the menu. I asked if they could make it. Yes, they can. They have a build your own breakfast on the menu. The Country Fried steak came crisp and cruntchy with gravy on top the way it should be. They have a great cook and everything tasted as it should. This was my first time at this cafe, and I will be coming back for more. Mike read more

As soon as Chiroy's Cafe opened, I went there. It's in the spot vacated by Rana's, and it provides Casa de Oro with an excellent breakfast option. They offer traditional Mexican dishes, as well as some from Guatamala. My daughter and I often go there, and we have never had a bad experience. She says the chorizo is the best in San Diego, and I usually have Huevos Ranchero, or something that I haven't tried. The staff take great care of us. The place is clean and welcoming. The food is always delicious, and the owner always stops by to say Hello. I highly recommend Chiroy's Cafe to anyone who wants a yummy mexican style meal at a reasonable price. You simply can't go wrong. read more
