Parking: It seems like paid parking in front of the restaurant. There might be free spots in residential areas, just be aware of signs. Worth: The food was delicious and the staff was amazing! Just from that, if you are by the area, the place is definitely worth the visit. It has real neighborhood diner feel, which I appreciate it! I had the Chorizo Skillet (as pictured below).

It's a nice little mom and pop type shop, which I felt good about supporting. So, the food was fine. I would say all of the food was pretty standard fare - maybe there just wasn't anything with oomph to differentiate it from anything else. For example, I think they made their waffles from a standard batter and the syrup was pre-packaged stuff. They only had drip coffee - no espresso-based. There was one bagel option. The quesadilla was also fine. The side of hash were fine. So everything was fine, tbh. Actually, one item that was a cut above average was the tofu scramble. Nice and tasteful. That was definitely the one stand out. Well, overall good visit. Can't complain. Thank you Sunrise!

It gets very packed on the weekends and seating is limited, but they're also very accommodating and I can see they care about their customers.

I wanted to reach out after my very first visit for your Sunday brunch yesterday. Getting started…read morewas a tiny bit confusing we had a reservation and initially headed inside, but then found out brunch was actually next door and upstairs. It was a small detour, but we eventually found our way to the lovely setup. Once we were upstairs it was clear how popular your brunch is. the place was absolutely buzzing. It felt like the team might have been a little overwhelmed with how busy it was which led to a bit of a slowdown in service. Also, I noticed some of the food trays didn't have labels which made navigating the buffet a bit tricky. Trying to uncover each tray while holding the lid and juggling a plate in a busy line was quite a challenge. I do need to mention a couple of things that stood out during the food service. I was a bit surprised to find a long hair on top of a fresh batch of potatoes. The cook at the omelette station was very responsive and removed it and then impressively replaced the whole tray. A little while later I noticed a short, curly hair in the maduros which was a bit off putting. These were definitely unexpected moments that I wanted to bring to your attention as I know cleanliness is so important. On a slightly different note, while the plastic tables and chairs upstairs were functional, I think a little sprucing up of the stairwell and windows could really enhance the overall ambiance and make the whole space feel even more welcoming and clean and perhaps a quick suggestion regarding footwear for the staff interacting with guests and food, closed toe shoes like sneakers might present a more professional and hygienic appearance than crocs. I really hope this doesn't come across as critical. I'm just sharing my observations in a constructive way. Now, for the absolute best part THE FOOD Wow, seriously everything we tasted was incredibly delicious and such great value. The pernil was perfectly fresh and incredibly tasty and I absolutely adored the arroz con gandules. The avena de coco. A definite must try so good. The gentleman at the omelette station was not only a fantastic cook but also a really friendly person. Your potato salad was a revelation. I've never had anything quite like it and the bacon and sausage were spot on. especially that crispy bacon. The coquito latte was heavenly just a touch sweet, but in the best possible way and let's not forget the chicharrón utterly divine. The sweets table was a true highlight, so beautifully decorated and truly on point. Those homemade pastries were incredible, and my absolute favorite was what I think were coconut balls seriously wow. There was also this delightful dessert in a small clear cup with cinnamon on top that was just exquisite. Beyond that the pastelon, carved ham, waffles, and French toast were all equally delicious. Honestly, the culinary experience you're providing is exceptional, and it's clear you put a lot of passion into the food. I truly hope you take this feedback as it's intended as friendly suggestions to make an already fantastic place even better. The potential here is huge and I can't wait to see what you do next.

I had heard great things about this place for years, so I was really looking forward to trying it…read morebut unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The first time I visited, there were three of us. My friend and I chose the buffet, while her wife ordered from the menu. After we had already gone up to the buffet twice, her wifes food still hadn't arrived. I eventually spoke with someone who identified himself as the ownerto address her food not bring ready. He apologized and mentioned they were short-staffed, and said her food would be out soon. When the food finally came, it was just okay.While we waited, we noticed a steady stream of takeout orders going out, which seemed to be prioritized over dine-in guests. I don't enjoy leaving negative We decided to give it another try this past weekend with a group of friends, hoping for a better experience. Most of us chose the buffet again. For me, the only items I really enjoyed were the rice and the avana. I don't eat pork, so I was excited to try the chicharrón chicken, but it was a letdown the chicken was over-fried, dry, and difficult to eat. It also took about 20 minutes just to get water for the table, while we watched other guests be seated and served water right away. When I asked the waiter staff ejy it took so long for the eater, I had once agin told they were short-staffed staffed. I don't like leaving bad reviews, but I do hope this feedback is taken constructively. With some improvements in both food quality and service, this place could live up to its reputation.

The food doesn't come out super fast but they have black coffee to sip on while you wait. The food was delicious! I had the Manila Breakfast and would get it again. My husband had the El Diablo skillet. We got a side of bacon which was just 3 regular slices of bacon for $6. Good prices are really high but that was a waste. I would need to order a side to get enough food here so the bill will definitely add up, but that just seems to be the nature of attempting to leave the house these days. We are all hurting.

The first thing I look for at a breakfast spot is flavored creamer. They delivered! The next is a variety of both savory and sweet items - another check!

My boyfriend went for the meat lovers skillet! The food came out quickly and the servers were very attentive at filling up our coffee cups, which we appreciated.
