    Outside
    Leang E.

    I guess this place just replaced owners and the name of the spot, but offers the same food items. I got the breakfast burrito #5, with chorizo and jalapeños, eggs, and cheese. This was fire spicy and delicious. We ate inside but can easily take on the go. I had some of my sister's steak fries and they were excellent. I would love to come back and try other items.

    Big Breakfast #2 with egg whites, split

    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.

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

    Egg Scramble with Bacon or Sausage

    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.

    Big breakfast #2
    Carmen H.

    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.

    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.

    French Toast plate
    Groyper G.

    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

    Chorizo Breakfast Sandwich
    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.

    Bacon Egg Burrito #1
    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.

    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.

Seating took a little while after opening, likely because they stagger new parties to avoid overwhelming the kitchen with orders all at once. There were tons of fun brunch drinks listed on a cute, record-shaped acrylic menu, although the coffee options were pretty limited. The food menu was just as fun and whimsical, and the waitstaff were all dressed to match the theme. Everyone was efficient, friendly, and helpful. We tried the soufflé pancakes, which were good, though they weren't quite as fluffy and jiggly as Japanese soufflé pancakes. They were also quite sweet on their own, so we didn't really need the syrup. We also ordered the cheese fondue plate, which came with steamed vegetables, kielbasa, and bread cubes--a really fun concept. Overall, the atmosphere is beautiful, playful, and definitely part of the experience. I'd happily come back if I'm in the area, especially if there isn't a long wait for a table.

    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.
