First time there, service was just ok, slow for the amount of people and staff. The food was average, had a Mediterranean Omelette but there wasn't a lot of egg?? My husband got a tiny pancake, on the pictures on YELP they were huge. He was asked if he wanted them to re-do it as the server noticed it was small. Maybe ask the cook for it to be redone before giving to customer. My husband said no, he didn't want to have to wait longer. We would not return. read more

Ortega's Diner - Chilaquiles w/ Carne Asada and green sauce. - Mexican Near Me - Fontana, California

Came here for breakfast to try it out. Place is nice but a little warm at first. Our server greeted us promptly and was friendly and happy to answer any questions. The menu is HUGE (variety of Mexican and American) and quite intimidating and had me a bit nervous about food quality. Here's how it went. 1st: chips and salsa aren't free and were $3.99 but good and not sure if they are u limited as we didn't ask for more chips when finished. Agua Fresca Jamaica: 8/10 Size is decent for 4.99 and good Chilaquiles: 6/10 The menu price is 14.99 for chicken or carne asada and charged an extra 3.99 for chorizo (the store bought one) which was interesting as chorizo is cheaper than both. Also, the creama drizzled on top was an extra charge and only comes with one egg. An extra egg was (2.25) Sadly, The tortillas were cut into tiny squares and my eggs were over cooked. I asked for over easy and it they were over medium (I love the runny egg yolk). Our server didn't come back and check on us to ask how our food was until we were nearly done. They did get a rush of people so that attributed to our lack of service. Ortega omelet: 7/10 omelette was wayyyy overcooked. Comes with two sides of your choice and toast. read more

Fantastic Breakfast and Excellent Service! We had breakfast for two at Ortega's Diner and loved everything about it! We ordered the huevos rancheros, chilaquiles en salsa verde, and a Belgian waffle topped with fresh strawberries, along with two house coffees -- all for under $60, which is an amazing deal for the quality and portions. The food was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The staff was super friendly and attentive, great ambiance, making us feel right at home.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Excellent service all around! Highly recommend Ortega's Diner for anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying breakfast. read more

The service is always 10/10 and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place is always clean![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly highly recommend this restaurant!

Ortega's Diner - I got the chilaquiles verdes this time the other day - Mexican Near Me - Fontana, California

[[HIGHLIGHT]]NIce people, pleasant atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This is our second time here- but our last. The food this time sub par. My food was cold, a bit salty. Veggie burrito- lettuce and diced tomato's? With rice and beans? Going back to Sergio's they have a veggie burrito with grilled broccoli, carrots, peppers, onions.... The other plate we ordered was basic, not dressed up as expected for restaurant food and the carnitas were soggy rather than with a crisp. How about cilantro that isn't yellowing, maybe a little more to the nachos than a little on top of the chips. It was a super nacho, but wasn't super unfortunately. The carnitas seemed steamed or left in a container for a while rather than prepped for the nachos hot and layered. Like I said -nice people BUT I would have liked to been offered a refund since I ate 2 bites and said it didn't taste good. We liked the food last time and thought this would be a place on our list to frequent but it won't be. Wish them the best because they are nice people but meh our second time. read more

Kiddos wanted the one breakfast item that I don't cook - pancakes, so we took a drive to check out Ortega's. We were greeted and promptly seated. Kids enjoyed the pancakes and the bear face was a nice touch. Country fried steak and ham were both good. Saw the sign for Micheladas so will have to try some out next time. I think I also saw mimosas being taken to a couple tables. Everyone here was friendly and attentive but our server (unfortunately didn't catch her name) really took care of us. Our coffees stayed filled and when I asked for a cup to go, there was extra coffee poured in so that I had a full cup when I transferred what was in my mug. Service like this is what I would gladly return for. read more

Starving in mid afternoon and having no knowledge of the city of Fontana, I stumble in this place. Clean, roomy and greeted with beautiful smile, what else can a hungry guy ask for. Instantly the chips and salsa appear and I'm telling you, I devoured them. Not only because I was hungry, but because they are delicious. Chips apparently are made fresh here daily. Menu is extensive. I was surprised at the quality and quantity of items. In the mood for a burrito, I ordered the burrito supreme. This thing is massive. Digging into it, had me thinking twice while being able to finish it. Let me tell you, in award, it was delicious. Fresh guacamole, delicious Mexican rice, and a special spicy salsa that they brought as a side dish. Great service, and quality food. If you're in town in Fontana, definitely look this place. But make sure you come hungry. read more

First would like to say that the prior restaurant the hot spot is missed! The menu is exactly the same as Lucy's Diner, page for page! Ordered the patty melt, shrimp sampler, onion rings and cheeseburger. Salsa was very watery but the chips were good. Food was fresh, served hot and pretty tasty! Overall satisfied, just wish there was some originality with the menu here. read more

Ortega's recently opened in Fontana. I came in to give them a try and decided to go with a pastrami sandwich to go with Onion Rings instead of fries. The misses went with a Chile verde Gordita and an Asada Gordita. Let me tell you that this might be the 2nd best pastrami sandwich I've ever had. There's a place in LA you might of heard of, Langer's Deli, they're pretty good. But this pastrami sandwich here at Ortegas was absolutely delicious! You know the food is good when the food puts you in an even better mood. The misses really liked her food, she said I cam bring her those anytime. Our waiter was amazing, friendly and was very attentive to our needs without us having to ask for it. The ambiance is nice, simple but very nice. And lastly, I appreciate that the music that was playing was not loud, I don't like having to shout to my wife when the music is loud. read more

Great Mexican food and diner food. Got the mojarra fritta (fired tilapia) and came out great! Not the largest bit was fresh and seasoning was just right. Also got the shrimp burrito (no beans and wet), thing is a beast of a burrito with soo much shrimp not just rice like a lot of other places will do. Wet sauce was a chilli Verde and was very good! Agua fresca are just the right sweetness and huge cup. Give this place a try of your hungry and want good food with good portions. read more

I visited Ortega's Diner today base on reviews by Yelpers !! Tried their pastrami sandwich with onions rings. I added Swiss cheese to kick it up a notch that being said it was fool of flavor plenty of pastrami ate only half Leftovers . The Onion rings are true crunchy perfectly cooked up there with (The Hat) if I have to critique only thing is the lack of onion rings. Overall great place I'll definitely be trying them out again. Thanks Yelpers Good Choice read more

So glad we tried this diner near our home. The breakfast was delicious. Large portions. Everyone who worked there was really nice and helpful. They ALL worked as a team. Different people came to check on us throughout our meal. We did not have to ask for anything. They automatically came back and offered more coffee and soda. We sat near the kitchen and overheard employees interacting with each other positively. They thanked each other and worked well together. Everyone was hustling. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Restrooms and diner were immaculate too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They all went out of their way to be nice. So great to see that. Several employees thanked us on the way out.

10/10 food. More importantly...10/10 service. They have so many options to choose from. Everything we have ever ordered has been fresh and cooked to order - you can tell nothing is frozen.

Everything is very fairly priced for the portions you're getting. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough! read more

Looked at all the reviews to the area and decided on this place due to the photos and reviews and 10/10 honestly. At least the food I ordered was great. Btw the chips and salsa is bomb. Avocado BLT WAS good, shrimp basket was delicious and zucchini fries was weirdly good I guess, the breaded is like mozzarella sticks but with a clean cut zucchini inside, I had better but it was okay tbh. The waiter was super sweet and so nice. Will come back to try other food! read more

The ladies were nice and very attentive. Great chips and salsa, and they were not stingy with it. I ordered the pastrami melt. It was super salty and inedible due to the salt, and the meat was almost fried. I voiced my concerns and the young lady just said I'm sorry and went back to work. Maybe go and eat their other food, just stay away from the pastrami melt. read more

The hostess was welcoming and attentive. We tried their aguas frescas the horchata was on point definitely a favorite. We were served complimentary chips and salsa upon arrival. The tortilla chips were freshly made and still warm with the right amount of salt how I like, salsa was good too. My husband ordered the mini taco plate and a sope. They brought it out with a mild and a hot salsa to choose from, both were good. He enjoyed his food and said it was great. I ordered the Avocado BLT on rye bread (they offer bread of your choice) hands down the best I've had. The bacon was nicely crispy. The Avocado, lettuce, and tomato were fresh. Rye bread was nicely warm and toasted and I chose a side of fries, the fries were freshly made and warm. They serve breakfast all day, I ordered a small stack of 2 blueberry pancakes to go for my daughter and she loved them! Pancakes were freshly made and huge. We were impressed being that this was our first time, we will definitely be returning soon to try new plates. read more

I ordered a bowl of their soup. It was huge! However, I barely touched it and had almost an entire bowl left. I asked for a to-go container and they said they'd pack it up for me and took my bowl away. When they brought it back, I could tell that whole bowl would not have fit in the container they packed it in. There was several pieces of meat and potatoes along with other veggies when I asked for the container.... So once home I put it in a pot to see if all the meat and veggies were there and they were NOT! They only put in one piece of meat and one potato! They ripped me off on my whole soup to fit it in one container when it needed two! I paid full price and got ripped off! I DO NOT SUGGEST GOING HERE! read more

Great local place for breakfast!! I was greeted upon entering by Lucy, who provided awesome service.

This morning, we were looking for a good little hole in the wall to get some food prior to running our daily errands. We checked out the spot because we used to come here when it was a little taco shop. You have to come to this place because the menu is so full of amazing options. We came for breakfast. I just had bacon and eggs and biscuits and gravy. Their gravy was pretty tasty. My husband had the south of the border skillet and he really liked it. The Teresa was not greasy at all. The service was really awesome. Very attentive staff. We will definitely be back. read more
