Yummy huge burritos. Soon to become Pablo's cafe. Same menu as Konitos. I added avocado to my #3 delish.

Konitos is now Pablos but din't panic! Same menu and quality.

Elissa B.

Well known local breakfast/lunch branch of Konos by the PB Pier has changed name and ownership. But the owner Pablo has run the cafe for years and the menu and quality has not changed. Large breakfasts are the most well known but don't miss the tuna fish sandwich. Call ahead, din't need to go through online hassles and app.

This place is always on point with the freshness of their food. The service is always great no matter how busy and it's busy all the time. This place definitely has the best price for breakfast especially for the amount of food they serve you. It's pretty small inside but they have do have outdoor sitting. Good spot to hit up before you head out to the beach. Thank you Konito's for your hospitality.

Took a day trip to San Diego and got there pretty early and we were hungry for breakfast and my daughter found this place and so glad she did!! When we arrived there was a line to order food. So to me that was already a good sign. This place was cozy and quant with tables inside and outside. The waitstaff would bring out the food orders to the tables. My husband and I shared the big breakfast #2 French toast, eggs, bacon, konitos potatoes ( cheddar cheese, bell peppers and onions) and an English muffin. My kids ordered egg burrito #1 and egg burrito #5. The French toast was so delicious! The bread looked and tasted home made. So fluffy. Bacon was crispy and perfect. Egg was scrambled and had perfect amount out cheddar cheese. The potatoes were cooked Wonderfully! Loved the bell peppers and onion! I definitely will be back!

My cousin brought me here for my birthday and I had the veggie scramble and I had the gastric bypass sleeve so this was a lot of food for me. But it was still awesome, tasty and delicious. I love how you have the option of eating inside or outside. Love the chill vibe it gives off. There is no restroom so you have to use the Vons next door. Aisle 16 and the code is 2116. Service was great. Just don't expect anyone to check on you, if you need something just go and ask.

Fast and good service i would come back! Chill spot to have breakfast and people watch.

There's nothing "little" about the Little Breakfast

Cheryl G.

Probably the best value for breakfast in the entire city, and I've been to a lot of breakfast places. The food here is consistently awesome and portions are massive. I honestly don't know how they keep their prices down as expensive as things are these days and especially with this business being located in Pacific Beach. The last time I visited, I got the little breakfast. I posted a photo of my plate here on yelp, huge portions of eggs, potatoes, toast, and avocado for $11. The avocado might've been an add-on for $1.50 or so if I remember correctly. I learned my lesson ordering one of the full sized entrées, the last time I was there I got pancakes and it was enough food for a small village. Everybody that works there is really nice, and you can tell they are all working hard to give you a great experience. You place your order at a little counter and then choose a table either inside or outside. Your food is delivered to you and there's a little cooler with salsa if that's what you're in the mood for. My only beef, but not enough to take away a star, is that I think the coffee is not very good. But there's a Starbucks in the Vons right there and a Dunkin' Donuts just across the street in the same parking lot so it's easy enough to get what you need and not be inconvenienced.

Katarina G.

The food was great! It may look like a basic breakfast sandwich, but it was packed with flavor! You order and at the counter and then the food is brought to you, so no waiter. The cashier was nice though. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor is nice because you can smell the ocean! Parking is easy since it's located in the same plaza as Vons.

Michael-Anthony T.

Getting away from all the hectic touristy vibes and crazy long waits near Mission Beach, we found this hidden spot in a little corner serving brunch. Just a normal walk up and order type vibe place. Really small, but a good amount of seating outside. The service was fast and efficient. We had to order the breakfast burrito because that's what everyone was recommending. Would say that it is totally worth it. Big and flavorful. The salsa was on point. They don't have restrooms for customers which sucks when you have to use the restroom after you drink their coffee. Definitely recommend this spot for the breakfast burritos. Will come back to try other menu items.

Second time here. I think I was here 3 months ago. Came back for the same reason because it's good. Had me the breakfast #1. 5 hrs later I'm still full. I'll be back. For more

Egg Burrito #3 with sausage instead of bacon

Kiana D.

One of the best breakfast burritos I've had in my whole life - it's actually put me on a major breakfast burrito kick. Konito's appears as a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, which is who I trust most with my breakfast burritos. Coupled with their verde salsa, this is exactly what I needed to eat on the beach on a Sunday morning! Service was excellent and very quick, even on a busy Sunday. I can't wait for my next visit.

Gustavo T.

YUMMY! I had the classic Egg Burrito #5 and boy it did not disappoint! The egg (chefs kiss), the avocado, fresh, the jalapeños, spicy, everything came together and it tasted amazing! The service was exceptional! Super nice and fast! And the vibes were like nothing else! If I could I would live here ! I WILL be coming back! The picture is of my basket when I was done. Absolutely nothing left!

Regine A.

This Pacific Beach gem has been on my bucket list for a while now. Parking: not too bad! It's located in a shopping plaza along with other stores, we found parking easily on a Friday afternoon. Service: amazing!! The man who took our order was so friendly. All the staff were nice to us. We were greeted with smiles and made sure we were taken care of. Our food came out so quick. I don't think we waited more than 5 minutes. Food: 10 out of 10!! The breakfast chorizo sandwich was delightful. I'd order it again. The eggs were thick and fluffy. Topped with melty cheese? I was in heaven! Ambiance: a vibe! We love the surf decor, indoor and outdoor seating. I'm already looking forward to coming back here to try their French toast.

First time here and really enjoyed it! Came Saturday morning and there was still indoor and outdoor seating. It's a cute little place and you can either eat there or take it to go. You order at the counter. The cashier was super friendly and the food came out so fast! The plates are huge for such a great price! We shared the veggie egg scramble and french toast with bacon and we were so full. Everything tasted delicious! read more

We came on a Wednesday morning so there was open tables inside and out. Pros - for something like $13 the breakfast burrito was huge. Solid 8/10. The French toast plate was also massive. We asked for a side of plain potatoes for my toddler and they came out with cheese and something else on it. The took it back and gave me plain ones instantly. Cons - none Overall 8.5/10 read more

If you're reading this and you're not a San Diego local then you're in luck because this is a locals spot and the line is long for a reason. Don't let the line deter you though, it moves fast and once your order is in it comes out pretty fast. It's run by a lovely family and they excel in customer service. Everyone is so kind and very efficient! They have plenty of seating inside and outside. People shuffle in and out but if you can't find a place to sit, drive less than 5 minutes to the beach and eat it there while you soak up the sun. Very reasonable prices and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu. They have something for everyone! My husband and I's go to order is the Big breakfast #2. Tip: Try the green salsa that they make fresh everyday. You'll find it in the mini fridge by the counter. It is SO GOOD, especially with the eggs and potatoes. read more

I hate to admit that I am that person but I called 10 minutes before opening hoping to pick up 20 breakfast sandwiches in about 45 minutes. I didn't know if it was feasible. I wouldn't say it was. However, both staff members that I spoke to were incredibly kind and ready to take on the task. When I arrived, all of the food was neatly packaged in a box for easy transport. They were already ready with napkins, salsa, hot sauce, everything that I could've asked for. They are on their A game over here! And they delivered not only exceptional service but also exceptional food. My staff member is absolutely loved it. read more

No frills no thrills breakfast establishment - I'm always here for it! This location is right before you hit the beach in a shopping center so the parking situation is actually wonderful and so much easier to deal with. Small place with a few seats outdoors and inside. Order at the counter and they'll bring the food to your table. Salsa and condiments are inside the little mini fridge to your left after you order. I do love how simply the menu is and so easy to make a decision. The portions are more than generous for the price. Great little stop to fuel up before heading out for a day of adventure. I got the number breakfast sandwich and it hit the spot perfectly! Sometimes a little bit of mayo goes a long way. So much fluffy eggs with the sandwich and the best part - the bacon wasn't completely crumbling and was cooked perfectly to my liking. They do take credit card which is great. There is something for everybody - breakfast sandwich, breakfast tacos or burritos, french toast and then their lunch menu which you can also order from. Staff are super friendly and love how cozy it was! read more

I've had Konitos breakfast before it's good so this time I tried their Chicken quesadilla. It's good as well. It's pretty basic. Diced almost shredded chicken and cheese with two salsas. The GREEN IS HOTTER THAN THE RED. I was not prepared for the spice so be advised if you're not a fan of spicy. The service is quick and employees have always been nice.

Delicious breakfast burrito on a sunny weekend! Came here instead of Kono's cafe because the line was going to be super long and so we ordered online. It seems like the menu is the same at both places! I was so excited to eat I forgot to take a pic of the cross section. typical breakfast burrito w eggs potatoes cheese, and i got the bacon burrito! i was sad it didn't automatically come with avocado like the sausage burrito and assumed avocado just came with all burrito but i was wrong ... salsas on the side added a nice kick and flavor to the burrito. Huge burrito for $12 can't be beat! read more

This place is chronic. The breakfast burrito #4, no pico and breakfast quesadilla are the star of the show . Always add potatoes. Been coming here for years, always ready for pick up in 5 min, always consistent and delicious. Better than any burrito you'll see on a "Top 5 in SD" list. Family operated. Cannot say enough good things about this place. Eat here, bring your friends here. Call ahead for pick up when it's busy. And always add potatos to the burrito! read more

Place is fantastic! Burrito #1 hit the spot after a long night out. Hard to find value these days but Konito's has huge portions that are fairly priced. Green salsa was great too. Only issue we had was some guy was very fired up and loud and cussing about a fantasy football trade boondoggle twelve years ago. But that had nothing to do with the eatery. Great spot and would recommend to anyone. read more

This is definitely my go-to breakfast spot when visiting San Diego. Not only is the food delicious and the service friendly, but the prices are super reasonable for the area. So I am all in every time. Get there early because this tiny spot fills up with people waiting in line to order and sit. I do notice that people come and go quickly enough to pretty much keep things moving. Highly recommend this spot for your next tasty and affordable meal. read more

From the Business

Specialties

After 25 years of serving breakfast all day to the San Diego community Kono's Cafe is happy to announce a second location - Konito's. You can expect the same high quality breakfast and lunch, always served fast and at an affordable price.

History

Established in 2016.

Konito's Cafe is the second location of Kono's Cafe which opened in 1991 in Pacific Beach. After 25 years of serving the local San Diego community as well as the many visitors who come to the PB boardwalk every year, Kono's decided to branch out with a satellite location up the street in the Pacific Plaza shopping center. We kept the menu, hours, and even a few of the chefs the same as Kono's. The only difference you will find is a lot more parking!

Meet the Business Owner: Pablo S.

After working at Kono's Cafe for 22 years, Pablo came to Kono's Owner, Steve Bettles, with the idea for a second location. After a long search Pablo and Steve came across the Pacific Plaza location and partnered on the deal. Pablo's skills as a chef and business owner have made Konito's a success.

Books & Records

Books & Records Delivers Live Jazz, Standout Cocktails, and Exceptional Happy Hour Bites…read moreAs a fan of Common Stock, expectations were high for its Bankers Hill sister spot, Books & Records--and it easily delivered. The moment you step inside, the bi-level space makes a striking impression with its mid-century accents, exposed brick, and warm, moody lighting. It manages to balance a lively, energetic atmosphere with an effortless chicness that feels tailored for a memorable night out. The happy hour here is an absolute standout, featuring an expansive array of creative food options and crafted drinks. The menu brings an inventive Asian fusion twist to bar bites, offering flavor-forward small plates that pair seamlessly with the beverage program. The drinks deserve equal applause: the craft cocktails are meticulously balanced, and the signature ube-inspired cocktails are as vibrant and distinct as they are delicious. Adding to the venue's overall charm is the live music program. Catching live jazz, soul, and blues sets elevates the entire experience from a simple dinner run into a full sensory event. The music creates a vibrant, soulful backdrop without overpowering table conversation, striking just the right rhythm for intimate catch-ups or energetic group gatherings. Whether you are dropping in for a quick drink, indulging in a multi-dish happy hour spread, or lingering late for the live tunes and exceptional cocktails, Books & Records captures everything that makes CS Hospitality's concepts so special. It is a stylish, fun, and flavorful addition to San Diego's dining scene.

I like the different variety of table seating to the different rooms of where you can dine. It was inviting and very spacious. Everyone that we encountered was super friendly and outgoing. It was very great hospitality. Our waiter was very helpful and check in on us quite often. The service was Superb. Now the food, we went on a Wednesday which they have Happy Hour all day. We ordered The Record Room Burger which came with Fries. This was very tasty. The fries were excellent. I tried one of my friend's dishes which was the Lamb Meatballs and that was amazing. Sadly, the B&R Mac n Cheese did not do it for me. It was missing seasoning and the flakes tasted stale. The staff did give us salt & pepper to jazz it up which did help. Regardless of the mac n cheese, I really enjoyed this place. The red wine was perfection. Overall it was a great experience and I gotta go back to check out other food items.

Within 15-20 minutes the place was packed. First of all do t miss the Café De La Olla House, and sweeten it up with that decadent Piloncllo in the jar. I could maybe live on this beveridge! I ordered the del Mercado topped with carnitas and I opted for an over medium egg on top which was perfect. The chilaquiles were the perfect balance of soggy/crunchy. Can't wait to go back and try more options and desserts!!!! Service was good and they were very engaging; however as it got busier the attention was understandably less. Would definitely go back!!

So I am glad we decided to share the biscuits and gravy but let me run down each thing. Bloody Mary Flight: Honestly every single one was amazing. My favorite was definitely the pickle Mary! Everything tasted so delicious and was garnished beautifully. Well worth the 22 dollars. Biscuits and Gravy: Absolute perfection of comfort food. The biscuits were so fluffy and well seasoned. The gravy was also soooo good, just like my mom makes. The sausage in it was also cooked so well and juicy. I've never tried mashed potatoes with the biscuits and gravy but it worked very well! Orange Juice: Not a fan really, not pulpy enough and I wasn't a fan of the flavor. Overall this is definitely a must visit! I will definitely be back.

They weren't! I was surprised by that. I recommend a full order (6) for anyone who has a big American appetite. I thought the pancakes would be the star of the show, but you know what surprised me? THE BACON AND SAUSAGE! The sausage links were sooooooo good. The bacon was thick and absolutely delicious. Our five-year-old got the strawberry patch waffle and that was super tasty!

I recently placed a phone order to pick up breakfast for ten people on a busy Saturday, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. They answered the phone before opening, offered thoughtful suggestions to ensure the burritos stayed fresh for my timing, and had everything ready exactly when promised. The food was packed carefully, with plenty of salsa and utensils included. This is the kind of place that genuinely deserves support. The level of service here stands out, especially compared to how often basic service is overlooked elsewhere. I'll absolutely be back--and often. read more

A simple, no-frills eatery on the eastern edge of Pacific Beach that has a range of scrambles, burritos, and more. I've never been disappointed by portion, quality, or service at Konito's. Come hungry--the servings are healthy and you will leave stuffed. For ~$12 you can have a coffee and a filling home-style cooked breakfast. Definitely a good spot for take away or for chowing down with your crew. The salsas are also delicious, especially the green. Nothing negative to say about Konito's! read more
