Plato de sopes con arroz y frijoles
Brisa B.

By far my favorite and most authentic Mexican brunch I've had! I get the chicken sopes and they're amazing. I ventured out this time and got a taco de vapor de papas. It was soft, juicy, and flavorful! It paired well with the horchata that is rich! This time I went with a larger party, which was a little bit of a longer wait. They do have limited seating for parties more than 4, but it's worth the wait! They are fast with taking your order once you are seated, and bring out the food fast!

This little shop has been on my list for quite awhile. I'm glad I checked it off my list. Danny Boy's is located in a strip mall with Manolo's, a laundry mat, karaoke bar, and Denny's. There are a few tables inside for a sit down meal, or order to go. This morning the café was filled with both types of customers. We decided to eat in. The hostess was very welcoming and offered us menus and water to drink. The vibe here is casual and warm. The regulars and newcomers were shown the same friendly hellos, thank yous, and goodbyes. Our two breakfast burritos came out piping hot, and very tasty, too! I asked for the hot sauces to try, both red and green. They were both good. Although I thought I was going to place another order to go, I was full after eating only half of my burrito. We left satisfied and plan on coming back.

Came across Danny Boy's as we were looking for a torta spot and decided to try them out. We came by Saturday around 12 pm and it wasn't too crowded. The restaurant is located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. The space itself isn't that big with 6-7 tables. We shared the special breakfast torta (asked for it to be made vegetarian) for $14.95 as well as a mini potato and egg breakfast burrito for $5.95. Both the torta and the mini burrito were good but not amazing. My main complaint is that both were on the bland side, perhaps because they usually rely on meat to provide flavor. We also didn't realize that the torta came with a side of potatoes, so between the potatoes in the torta itself, on the side, and in the breakfast burrito, it was a LOT of potatoes. Portions were big and it was enough food for both of us.

I love their chilaquiles. Lots of flavor, crispy chips even in the sauce, fresh ingredients. We always eat in, and the tables are always clean. Staff is friendly, too!

Tacos al vapor
Crystal C.

I love this place for its tacos de vapor, but I've had other dishes and they have all been delicious. Real authentic food like my grandmother made, their tacos are the reason to go there. I highly suggest going early enough before the run out, place is small so definitely not for a large party but somewhere to go when your having Mexican antojitos.

Birria Chilaquiles
Monica L.

Hands down the best birria chilaquiles I've ever had! The perfect balance of crispy tortilla chips soaked in rich, flavorful birria consommé, topped with tender, juicy birria, melted cheese, and just the right amount of spice. Every bite was packed with bold, savory goodness! The portion was generous, and the flavors were spot on--smoky, spicy, and deeply satisfying. The consommé on the side was an amazing touch, perfect for dipping or just sipping on its own. The service was fast and friendly, and the vibe of the place made the whole experience even better. If you're a fan of chilaquiles and birria, this is an absolute must-try. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

This place serves some of the best chilaquiles I've ever had! I also tried the torta and carne asada -- everything was absolutely perfect. The ambiance is great, and the servers are friendly and helpful, offering recommendations if you're new to the spot. The place is a bit small, but it's clean and cozy. Definitely worth a visit!

This place has been on my radar for a minute. Finally I was able to come Saturday morning. The hubby loved the chilaquiles. Nice crunchy tortilla full of flavor. There serving sizes are large enough to share. I wanted to taste a mini machaca burrito it was NOT mini. There mini is regular size. Machaca was full of flavor and lots of cheese. My tacos al vapor were just like the ones across the border. Fantasic!! I got beef and potato maybe just a lil more potato then beef, but nevertheless still good. Chorizo and bean taco was just as delicious. I enjoyed these tacos ill have to see when I can make it out again. They close early so try to make it out.

Danny Boys has become a staple for my kids and I. It is consistent in taste and service. I first reviewed this place back when it was a water store selling tacos al vapor (amazing). My kids love it and I have brought many friends and family here. Keep up the great work everyone at Danny Boys!! The cafe de olla is always on point.

Everything is so good and tastes fresh. I also love that they don't use cheap, chewy carne asada. Plus, it's very clean.

What a unique coffee shop. They have some unusual coffee drinks like buko pandan latte and IPA…read morelatte (yes, made with IPA beer). I had to try the IPA latte, how can I not? Where else have you seen this? Because of the brewing process, there's no alcohol but you still get the floral taste of the hops and boy was it delicious. It reminded me of a rose latte. My friend got a hot Nana's mocha and it was a chocolate heaven! I loved it as well. I love the space; very cool vibes with lots of art, big space and they also serve burgers! I have to give that a try next time. They also serve alcohol (wine, beer) and saw some unusual brands that I've never seen before.

What a cool spot to hangout at and we were a party of 6. We ordered at the counter then looked for…read morea seat. Unfortunately, they weren't serving off of the lunch menu (we were a little too early) so we had to order off of the breakfast menu. Food took long and the tots that my friend ordered took super long that we asked for a box to go. Food: Chili Crisp BFast Sando- (Biroche, Egg, Cheese, Bacon, Chiptole Aioli, Sesame Chili Crisp) Tots with House Seasoning - with Ranch Cup of Coffee Buko Pandan Latte Hot & Cold First the drinks were yummy. The hot Buko Pandan was stronger in flavor than the cold/iced drink. The tots were yummy and crisped perfectly but I'm not sure about the supposedly ranch dip. It was tangy for me. The Chilio Crisp Bfast Sando was delicious. It was so good that I want to return soon and have it again. The worker taking our order was very nice. He even mentioned about a restaurant in Vegas and asked if I've ever tried it-Public Us and yes I have. Overall, a great spot that can get very busy in the AM. The front window area has seats on one side and seats outside. It worked for us. Definitely will return.

I believe I have just found my new favorite coffee shop on Third ave. I've been here once before…read morebut this was my first time trying the food and holy moly! Lets talk about the vibes first...amazing decor and vibes, decor and walls and atmosphere is very cool and unique I truly love it so much. The staff is very nice, offering suggestions on drinks with big smiles and welcoming energy. Now the drinks and food: the drink I got last time was an iced mocha (no picture but I remember it was very good). This time I went with my mom and we both got the "Moon" drink.. a Chai/Matcha which was such a good drink, I want like a 40oz of it to take with me home for the week. I also ordered the pesto turkey sandwhich to share and I can not express how good this was. Perfectly crispy, juicy and fresh. Took the first bite and literally gasped because not only was the bread toasted to perfection but the veggies and turkey were so flavorful. The veggies and pesto and turkey were also layered in a way that made every bite delectable and that to me is art. Loved it, want more of it and I WILL be back to try more drinks and sandwhiches.

Eeeeek! Omg I love this place and you will too after reading my review…read more I've recently found this place from a studio I go to nearby. It's third ave I mean if you are from San Diego you know it's either neighborhood parking or the meters. Not a big deal though. I am greeted by Karely and her big smile, one of the baristas. It is tiny location but long, they have two gender neutral bathrooms at the end. A few tables to sit down inside and out. A cute bench with the view of third ave traffic. Interior decor is super cute I loved, one of my favs was this board they have which is a basically you pay a coffee forward and you put the sticky there for the next person to get their drink. I totally don't work there so I would just reconfirm what can be redeemed. Drink: I get an iced dirty chai WITH banana cold foam. 10/10 must try. They also offer matcha for you matcha lovers. Grind house has found a new customer and yes, I've already brought so many friends here. My only suggestion would be to maybe have a phone charging station, that's all! :)

I've driven past this coffee shop for years and finally decided to try it. The inside was decorated…read morecute with a rustic, desert vibe. There's indoor seating with chairs & tables as well as comfy chairs. The outdoor seating is covered under umbrellas. I got a matcha with almond milk and added lavender. It was an average matcha, nothing too special. Maybe I should have chosen a different add-in flavor. They made my drink within minutes so service was great! I'll definitely give this place another shot. Gotta support our local coffee shops!

After seeing this place raved on TikTok I wanted to get it to try myself. The parking is decent…read more When I went in the staff was quick to greet me and asked if I had any questions. I took a look at the menu and decided on getting the Matcha Meets Fresca and chilaquiles. The Matcha was actually pretty good. And the Chilaquiles were decent however I can tell the green salsa is not a fresh salsa. I also did not care for the chicken. It tasted like pre-cooked chicken that had been warmed up. The chips were very crispy however. I think it's a great option for folks in the area, however I would not return given it's not located in my community and can find not your preferred closer to me. There were folks in their meeting and working and although it may be a little noisy, it is a great option to work from. They also have tables outside which I found were nice and provide a more quieter space
