    Seating from their booth and front door
    Gus L.

    Upon entering the staff greeted us with smiles. The restaurant looked super clean and well kept. I did enjoy they had holiday decorations up to make it feel warm. Upon seeing the menu they have all options for everyone. When the food arrives the staff went over and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. It's a must try, I enjoy supporting small businesses.

    Talapia Dinner

    The service was great. The waitress was friendly and informative on the menu. The food was delicious. I had the Talapia dinner and hubby beef hard shell taco plate. They had the old Christmas songs playing for the season. The flan was to die for.

    This was my first time trying Ortega's Diner. Our waitress was super friendly and helpful. The ambiance is trendy and I love the Valentine's Day decorations. The food was good. I think I enjoyed the beans most on my plate. I also had a bite of their pancakes and they were pretty good. I'd eat here again.

    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.

    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. The staff was super friendly and attentive, great ambiance, making us feel right at home. Excellent service all around! Highly recommend Ortega's Diner for anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying breakfast.

    Mozzarella sticks

    We absolutely love this place! From breakfast to dinner options you cannot go wrong! They also have some of the best salsa in the IE! My favorite is the country fried steak breakfast, skillet breakfast, chilaquiles breakfast, pescado frito dinner plate, and mozzarella sticks! Also their orange and mango agua fresca is amazing! The service is always 10/10 and the place is always clean! I highly highly recommend this restaurant! It's hard to find quality food these days at a reasonable price but this place has it!

    Chilaquiles with Carne Asada and red sauce
    Kosoma J.

    My husband and I always pass by this place and finally decided to come here! I was happy with the service ! The inside was clean and inviting. They have so many food options and we came here for breakfast, I got the Chilaquiles plate with carne asada and red sauce, love this plate and how tasty everything was! Check it out when you are in the area

    Pancakes
    Michael A.

    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.

    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.

    Pastrami sandwich! Bomb!!!!!
    Daniel F.

    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.

    Shrimp appetizer
    N O.

    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.

    Shrimp burrito Wet with chilli Verde sauce (no beans)
    Steve R.

    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.

    I got the chilaquiles verdes this time the other day
    Joey R.

    Everything went well. Amazing food, atmosphere and service. I'm already sold after my first time going. Bring an appetite if you want some menudo cause these bowls are HUGE

I was told they keep it in a separate dough hopper to avoid cross contamination, which is great, but it also means they won't make just one or two. It's a half dozen minimum, and it takes about 20 minutes since they're made fresh and separately from the regular batch. Once mine came out, they were warm and satisfying, not quite as fluffy as the regular donuts, but still a solid treat. Most of the coatings and toppings are vegan too, just skip anything with Nutella or a dairy based coating, so you've still got plenty of options to customize. A couple of flavors I went with were cinnamon sugar and a maple glaze with walnuts and enjoyed both. On a less positive note, they have a claw machine game near the entrance that took my money and never actually worked properly. I tried to find someone on site to help, but no one seemed to be able to do anything about it, and I've had a hard time getting a hold of anyone since to get it resolved. If you're going to have one of these machines in your store, someone should be able to actually help when it eats a customer's money. Staff at the counter were friendly and made sure to double check which toppings were vegan. Just know before you go, call ahead to confirm the location carries vegan batter that day, and be ready to commit to a six donut minimum and a short wait. 4 out of 5. Donuts were good, but the claw machine situation knocked off a star.

AMY. A. from Freddy's asked for more info and sent me a SURVEY link to REWRITE the review I ALREADY POSTED and answer additional pages of hilariously absurd questions, if one bothered to read my review. Example: Q: "How would you rate the taste of your food?" A: I didn't get any food. My family was kicked out before we could order because we sent back fries before and made the CEO cry apparently. Q: "How would you rate the overall atmosphere of the restaurant?" A: TERRIBLE! We got thrown out! Seems Freddy's prefers to respond performatively while ducking their customers. However I DID complete the survey (sober, I might add) and I ALSO sent my contact info to Freddy's UNPUBLISHED CORPORATE EMAILS: info@freddysusa.com and feedback@freddysusa.com. Thank YOU, Pissed Consumer! https://www.pissedconsumer.com This is conspiratorial but I think the delay is more than cowardice. I think they're waiting until their in-store CCTV footage deletes itself. If Mgmt lies and says we caused a ruckus (WE DIDN'T.) our story would be IMMEDIATELY corroborated by the camera footage. BUT if a company lets the footage EXPIRE, they can claim there's no evidence of either party's story, washing their hands of the whole situation and burying their heads in their wads... of cash. My attorney seems to agree with this but I have no idea cuz I haven't been contacted in half a month! But I have to wonder why no one from corporate can pick up a phone. I am a working professional too! If any vendor or collaborator called me with a problem as heinous as the one my family faced, I'd be on the phone the same day, within the hour, or drive out to meet them in person. This lack of followup is insanely unprofessional.
