It turned out to be the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had, absolutely phenomenal. I could t save any they were so good. The best ive ever experienced. I had the chicken fried steak and home fries and everything came out fresh and hot. The staff was friendly and attentive and never let my coffee cup get empty. Anytime I'm passing through El Centro, I'll make it a point to stop here for breakfast, especially for the biscuits and gravy.

I thoroughly enjoyed my meal which was great in proportion and super flavorful. Never really had tacos for breakfast but these were quite tasty. If I ever go back think I'll try them with out the cornmeal taco as that was a bit heavy for me but it could've been just my preference. The service was spot on, not just our waitress asked were we good but several other passing service members and that is not something I'm used to. If I find myself back in California again in this neck of the woods I would love to come here again maybe for lunch because breakfast was a home run. Thank you from this little Virginian that loves flavorful yummy food.

Mom had a Californian Omelette, which was great, cooked well, but was a bit too large for her - we took the rest home and I had it the next day. I had a diet soda, Mom had a Bloody Mary.

I am looking forward to visiting again before I head back home.

Don't you just love it when a restaurant gets things right?…read more Owners Roberto and Rina ("Reina") Perez have figured out how to prepare and present home cooking in a commercial setting, and, in doing so, have shown that they understand the importance of "home" in that construct. Some of this is no surprise to me. Reina is cousin to Rodnia Attiq (nee Navarro), who, with her mother Rosario Sotelo owned San Diego's El Borrego for almost 25 years, until they closed their business at the end of 2025. Having been welcomed and fed many times with homely care at El Borrego, I'm not surprised that the family connection - and the warmth and hospitality included in it - extends to Cousin Reina. If you're having a bad day, it's worth dropping in for a bite to eat just so you can say "hi" to her. Between the food and the greeting you'll receive, you'll leave feeling better about things. So what to eat? Depending on the time of day and how hungry you are, you'll be pleased with Cazuelitas; Pozole Rojo or the herby Guerrero-style Pozole Verde; hearty Tlacoyos; large Enchilada plates; or probably my favorite Mexican dish, Mixiote de Borrego, which is lamb that's spiced, marinated and slow-steamed until it falls off the bone. I've eated most of those things and seen the rest on my fellow diners' tables. Especially now that El Borrego is gone, if El Centro wasn't a two-hour drive from my house, I'd be a regular, so that I could continue sampling the superb and wide-ranging menu at Antojito Como En Casa.

What was frustrating was that when I called the restaurant to explain the situation, they were unwilling to refund the drinks or offer any solution other than for me to drive there myself to pick up the drinks. Good customer service is about how you handle mistakes, and unfortunately that didn't happen here. I hope the restaurant improves its process for ensuring delivery orders are complete and takes better care of customers when issues arise.

We then headed to RED OCOTILLO for Breakfast. It was utterly FANTASTIC, from the service to the food. We had as our server GLORIA. It took us a couple attempts on the LOOP to get the right EXIT. We walked in and were directed to a table by our SERVER GLORIA. We got a great table right up front by the window. She started, by taking our drink orders. We looked over the menu, admittedly looking at it the night before. I selected the HEUVOS RANCHEROS, and an Arnold Palmer. As for my partner, he had a CLASSIC DESSERT BURRITO. We added Chips and Guacamole, made fresh on the spot!!! It could not have been a BETTER EXPERIENCE!!!

The food was good. I do think a bit pricey but understandable since this is a pretty remote area. I got the chicken Marsala and I will say for me it was pretty bland. Specifically the pasta. I asked for pepper and Parmesan cheese and that definitely gave it more flavor! Note: make sure to ask without onions if you don't like them since the sauce comes with them. My husband said the taco salad was also ok. It wasn't a pretty big portion! Steak was good. My daughters shared the cheese penne pasta (we got the full size) and they loved it! It was really good. The garlic bread and bread and butter they gave us was also very good. The place itself was very nice, quiet, they also had lots of outdoor seating. Total for 3 plates and 4 drinks was $100.58.
