Had a great brunch here yesterday. I had a California Benedict, which was just the right size, and…read morethe eggs were cooked perfectly. 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. They have a choice of bloodies, with different faux alcohol. The mix and the veggies were great, the alcohol was meh. The big booth table was hard to get our feet around. Staff was friendly, atmosphere was pleasant, we ran into a friend there.

Very beautiful establishment. Open and inviting with delicious scents soon as I walked in the door…read more This was my friend's recommendation and it was a diamond. 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.

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.

This was my first time visiting this establishment, and unfortunately it was a very disappointing…read moreexperience. When we arrived, the restaurant was nearly empty with only about two tables of customers. Despite that, we were not greeted at the door and no one acknowledged us. We were left standing there trying to figure out if we were supposed to wait to be seated or seat ourselves, which already set a negative tone for the visit. That lack of attention ended up foreshadowing the rest of the service. After we were seated, everyone else at our table eventually received their food except me. When we were finally able to get the waitress's attention to ask about my order, she realized that my plate had been given to another table. By that point, I had already been waiting around 25 minutes, and I was on a limited lunch break, so the delay was extremely frustrating. To make matters worse, when it came time to pay, I was charged more than what I had actually ordered. At that point, I was so disappointed and pressed for time that I did not even bother disputing it and just wanted to leave. I want to note that this experience occurred at the Antojitos on Main Street location, not the Desert Gardens location. I truly hope management can address these issues, because first impressions matter, and this visit left a lot to be desired.

We took a DAY TRIP to Borrego Springs from San Diego…read more We went to the Anza Borrego Visitor's Center FIRST, and went on their short PAVED WALK through the Desert Landscape. 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!!!

Its servings like that, that keep me coming back. Just don't go to Carlee's place. It's bad. Bartenders suck there. But the bartenders at Red O treat you like you wanna be treated when one goes out. Fresh, good energy. Makes you feel good when you have a satisfying experience.
