The atmosphere was beautiful and lively, and our service was great. We started with Mexican candy shots and tried a couple of their tequila cocktails, which were a fun way to kick off the evening. The food was definitely the highlight! They brought out their house green sauce with fresh bread, and that sauce was SO good. We also tried the Batata Harra, which had a nice kick but was packed with flavor. The *Filet Mignon Sliders with goat cheese** were easily one of my favorites. OMG! The combination was so good. We also ordered the Grilled Filet Mignon Kabob, chicken kabob plate, and steak plate with rice and a side salad. Everything we tried was flavorful and enjoyable. Overall, I had a really good experience here. Great food, good drinks, a nice atmosphere, and quality time with a friend. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu!

Service was very friendly including our server and the hosts. I was impressed that when they brought all of our food out, there were multiple servers and they knew which dish belonged to whom in our party of 5. They have a wide variety of menu options. I ordered the lamb burger because it's not something you normally see on a restaurant menu. It was delicious! Everyone in our group really enjoyed their food. Looking forward to going back!

All appetizers are $4 off-Whoo hoo!!! Muscles weee delish-in a garlic lemon sauce. The poke wraps were tricky to eat, as the wasabi inspired sauce was really runny...so they got really messy...but they were solid. It came with rice with soy sauce. All pretty basic ingredients. The dining room was nicely decorated- dark walls w oversized brightly painted art systematically placed. The dessert was disappointing. We love tiramisu..so we thought the pistachio tiramisu would be a fun take. Pistachio overload. No layers of flavors like tiramisu at all. The only nod to tiramisu were the ladyfingers. (Not smoked i. Espresso and served in. A cup. Definitely avoid that if you are craving a tiramisu. After we told the server this...he did say a lot of people expect it to be like tiramisu. (Knowing this, Not sure why he didn't give us a heads up)

Toast has been on my list of places to check out for a couple of years, and a friend put it back on…read moremy radar back in April. Just a couple of weeks ago, my friends and I were considering our options for where to have brunch to celebrate one of our friend's retirement. Toast was one of the names I dropped in the metaphorical hat, and it won the vote of a few. My friends were surprised that I had named a spot I hadn't yet tried since I'm usually the "foodie" of the group. However, another girl in the group who had been here before vouched for it. I'm glad I finally got to try this place this past weekend, and I cannot wait to return! There were so many things on their menu that I wanted to try. A couple of the ladies ordered green chilaquiles, the friend we were celebrating ordered the Spanish Omelet, another woman I'd met that day had the bacon and eggs, another one ordered the Biscuits and grave with a side of bacon that looked perfectly crispy. I wish I had taken pictures of the plates as it all looked so lovely! I didn't even take a picture of my own food haha. I had my eyes on an omelet, one of the Benedicts or the Chicken n Waffle. In the end, the chicken and waffle won. It comes served with a little container of maple syrup with bacon pieces. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The waffle was delicious, though I did request for some extra syrup on the side. To drink, a few ladies ordered mimosas, one ordered an iced caramel coffee, and I ordered the Carajillo. I fell in love with this drink last summer in Mexico and do not often see it on the menu. I love the subtle citrus notes the Licor 43 adds to this espresso drink. It is very similar to an espresso martini, and theirs comes topped with a toasted marshmallow. I honestly wanted to try almost every item in their Tipsy Barista section of their drinks. I'll just have to come back that many more times :) Plenty of parking in the mall lot. It does get pretty packed during peak hours. Fortunately I had called ahead to put our group of 6 down. We went in on Saturday around 11:30. It slowed down a bit while we were eating, but started to get busy again after 1. Otherwise, we might have been forced to honor their 90-minute rule. All in all, a great experience from everyone in our group. No complaints on the wait, service or food. That certainly deserves a toast. Great job, Toast!

I ordered the "Original" Fully Loaded Hash Browns and a variety of pancakes were the star, crispy edges on my hash browns, generous toppings, and a portion size that could easily feed two people seriously. It's one of those dishes that feels indulgent in the best way. The restaurant has a relaxed, casual feel, and the service was impressively fast without losing any attention to detail. Parking is definitely tight, so plan on grabbing a spot along 166th if you're trying to beat the rush. A satisfying brunch experience with comfort food done right. Miguel C.

The steak was tender, juicy, and cooked just right. The breakfast potatoes were definitely a hit too. Even though they were packed, the service was still good. It's a small space. Just be prepared to wait a little if you're going on the weekend. Trust me, it's worth it. A solid breakfast spot that's been holding it down for years and one I'll definitely keep coming back to.

Very friendly, offered good suggestions and had a general good vibe about them. I am so bad at getting their names. I only remember Joseph and he was cool but our table was handed over to another waitress shortly after arrival and I don't remember her name but she was great. I'm super indecisive, especially with massive menus - Cheesecake Factory is a nightmare - but The Pan had a great variety so it made the choice a bit difficult. I saw they had a cuban sandwich and I froth at the mouth for these but I was convinced to try the loaded hashbrowns. We actually got into a little conversation about the miscommunication between restaurants and customers sometimes because everyone's definition of hashbrown is different. Are they the McDonalds oval shaped golden discs or the shredded and pancake-style flat things? OR are they those weird onion and pepper potatoes that some people call hashbrowns even though they are home fries BUT they're not even fried, they're sauteed so clearly having an identity crisis but anyway... The Pan's loaded hashbrowns are.... the shredded kind! :D Wow, if someone actually broke through my review and read my potato rant... I'm buying you breakfast here... Limit $20 :) Anyway... couldn't help but order my plate with a guava pancake as I've never heard of that before and tried stepping a little out of my comfort zone and trying something a bit different. Was very yummy, although I have my eye on the banana pancakes for next time. Glaze was a little runnier than expected, although I did take a minute to dive into the pancake as I was preoccupied by the hashbrowns - delicious by the way. Hashbrowns came loaded with: cheese, green onion, chopped pieces of bacon (thick kind, not bacon bits!) and diced sausage (turkey sausage is an option, so I'll def opt for that next time). Dish was nicely seasoned, no overpowering spices or unnecessary aiolis - wait, actually it did come with a chili aioli but it was more like a spicy mayo and it was not spicy, so it's a good dish for anyone to enjoy. Only thing was it arrived a bit cold; cheese wasn't thoroughly melted but the flavors compensated for that easily so it wasn't really a bother at all. Dish also lacked grease and for it being absolutely covered in cheese, bacon, and sausage, I was happier than heck that there were no grease pools. Service was good, although they lagged a bit with refills - they get insanely busy though so I get it. Again, they compensated with good vibes, suggestions, overall interactions so I wouldn't worry about a lack of attention here. I would probably not advise against ordering the guava pancake; however, it wasn't anything incredibly special so I'd opt for a different flavor if going the pancake route. I'll be back soon - need to try out that Cuban sandwich and get the name of our waitress! Thanks for having us, was a lovely experience.

Anyhow, my family and I were driving back home after participating in a hiring event for my son (first paid job -- so proud of him!) We were all hungry and since we were in a part of town we had not been to before did a quick search. Decided on "The Neighborhood Cafe" and headed over! We were greeted by " The Los Angeles Gentlmen" motorcycle club -- couldn't have been nicer! Then we walked in and were greeted warmly by the owner and his daughter, Cheryl. We were immediately seated and made comfortable. Cheryl took our orders and could not have been nicer/friendlier. Very spacious and cute atmosphere. Ordered and after a little bit of a wait (Due to food made to order BTW!) I had the absolute best chicken and waffles ever. IT WAS A 1/2 CHICKEN seasoned to perfection -- flavorful and juicy! The waffle was clearly homemade and also flavorful. The hot honey was a sweet/spicy welcome addition. My family also REALLY enjoyed their dishes!! We live on the westside so we will not be able to get over as often as we would like :( BUT I work near downtown so I can see me grabbing take home every once and awhile! I was just telling my wife I want to go back and get that again!! :) :) :) For those of you visiting the area looking for delicious food and a wonderful atmosphere, I highly recommend "The Neighborhood Cafe". For those of you who live in the area either go or go BACK and support this gem!

I woke up late today after…read morea week of riding every rollercoaster in Southern California (I'm on vacation anyways ), and I didn't want to deal with a long wait for brunch or settle for a typical corporate diner. I just wanted a place that hit the right spot... then I ran into Aragón House Cafe. Nestled away on the streets of Bellflower, this place is the kind of local treasure you can't help but fall in love with. From the moment you sit down and open the menu, deciding what to get becomes a delightful challenge. As the servers pass by with dishes for neighboring tables, every plate looks and smells so incredible that you'll want to order one of everything. Once you make your choice, the food comes out surprisingly fast--piping hot, bursting with flavor, and smelling so good you just want to devour it right on the spot. Having been open for just a year and a half, Aragón House Cafe is already a standout. It has all the makings of one of those hidden LA gems you eventually see highlighted on local food documentaries--or promoted all over social media by influencers (which I'm not, nor do I want to be!). Don't sleep on this place; give it a try before everyone else finds out!
