    Street tacos
    Danita W.

    My daughter and I visited last Saturday and we had a great experience. We tried the ceviche, flautas , fajitas Del Mar and Street tacos (beef, pork and chicken). The flavors were good, large portion sized, and ingredients were fresh. The customer service was great with friendly waitress and the chef was pleasant to speak as we sat across from the kitchen. It is on the pricey side but we were being greedy so you pay extra for big appetites . Will visit again

    Can honestly say that I will be returning to Pitaya and plan on visiting their other locations with friends and family PRONTO!!! A true 5/5 gold star restaurant in terms of quality of food, menu variety, vibes and aesthetic, price point is valid due to their fresh made meals and cherry on top is their customer service!!! Feels like a piece of home and strongly recommending this spot to everyone I know! Whether its a quick bite for appetizers and drinks with friends, or a full blown dinner with family Pitaya Restaurant is it! Cant wait to visit La Sierra and their new 3rd spot!

    Burrito   So good.

    It is so good. Couldn't stop eating everything. Very casual ambience and family friendly atmosphere. The services were fantastic!!! Come and you won't be sorry!!!!

    The atmosphere here was very nice and welcoming. The owner Jorge and his staff do an amazing job making customers feel welcome so I felt comfortable and ready to enjoy a meal as soon as I walked in. As good as the service was, the food was delicious. I wanted to order everything on the menu! I had the birria tacos one day and had to come back for the chorizo eggs the next. Highly recommend

    I love Pitaya! I find the service to be much more attentive and the food quality to be better than the popular local spot Mi Pueblo. The waitress' are always kind and the ambiance is nice! From time to time they host trivia and local singers. Give it a try!

    Me, but someplace new!

    The service here is excellent and it's actually a really comfortable place to eat in terms of music and cleanliness. I'd honestly give this place a 3.5 rating, but my partner really didn't like the chicken tacos as they were rather plain and not particularly seasoned. The Tacos de Birras were decent, but I think the big thing is that I've had better. If a friend asked me to go here again, I would, but I don't think I would go of my own volition. Perhaps I'll give them another shot later as the service was quite good..

    I came here on a Saturday night with my parents after they had been to Betty Lou's the previous…read moreSaturday. The decor and ambiance is very cozy and rustic which I loved! Every single person in the restaurant greeted us as soon as we walked in. Our server Nick was kind, professional, and personable. He recommended the boudin balls as an appetizer and we also ordered the deviled eggs, and both were phenomenal. I also had the Fig Fizz cocktail which had a great balanced, fresh flavor. I had the seared tuna special which was light and fresh with a flavorful pineapple salsa. The peach bread pudding was the real star of the show, it felt like a warm hug! Overall the food, service, and ambience were all 10/10. Meredith the owner checked on us and was very present, it is clear she puts a lot of care and effort into her business. We will definitely be returning!

    We visited for the first time last night, Friday June 12,2026 @ 8pm. Based on all of the great…read morereviews I thought we were in for a treat. We were sat pretty quickly & our waitress was great. But half way through she handed us over to the bartender, who just seemed inconvenienced that we were there. My husband had just finished a beer when she took over (which was in a can, not a tap beer), she asked if he wanted another, he said yes, and brought some draught beer that definitely wasn't what he was drinking. We are very easy going, so that wasn't even the end of the world. But she wasn't very friendly so we just went with it. The food. We ordered rockfish bites for an app, chicken pot pie, bacon wrapped shrimp & Mac & cheese. I will say, everything came out quickly. Rockfish bites: Not only were they bland & salt-less, but not all of them were cooked all the way through. The bacon-wrapped shrimp were ok, but cold in spots. The chicken pot pie: This is the reason I came. Certainly you can't mess this up, seeing how my favorite pot pie is from KFC. My standards aren't that high. I wish I could add a photo to a low review. I've never seen the inside of a pot pie that was dark gray. It didn't look appetizing at all, but it's a pot pie so I'm not basing anything on appearance. Once I took a bite I realized that it was gray because there was SO MUCH ground thyme in it. Like they dumped a whole jar in there. It wasn't even edible. The Mac & cheese was really good, I wish I had just ordered that. Before you reply that we should have said something, we already felt like we were an inconvenience to the bartender & she didn't even care enough to serve the same beer that was originally ordered. We didn't even want to deal with her. So we chalked it up as a loss. Of over $100. This place is so cute, we really loved the ambiance & wanted to love the food. We definitely won't be back, but I don't think it's going to be around much longer anyway.

A couple of them arrived a little dry, but the staff handled it well and replaced them right away without any hassle. I always appreciate when a restaurant responds quickly to an issue rather than making it a bigger problem. We also had the Crispy Calamari Fritz and the Pan Seared Salmon. My partner really enjoyed the calamari. The salmon was especially well prepared--crispy on the outside while still moist on the inside. The farro risotto was creamy and had very good flavor, and the asparagus worked well with the rest of the dish. Our food came out fairly quickly, service was friendly, and the way they handled the oysters left a good impression. Overall, Cypress is a solid local seafood restaurant and somewhere I'd be comfortable returning to.

We'd visited the previous restaurants in this spot and neither lasted so we were interested to see the changes. The restaurant itself is styled beautifully, not what you'd expect in a suburban shopping center. We opted for the Brussels and the short rib grilled cheese. Both were great. The Brussels were sliced, the balsamic glaze was really great. The short rib came on sourdough and I had low expectations: usually short rib on sandwiches (in my experience) is either dry or soaks through the bread, this sandwich was perfect! The short rib was really tender and flavorful, the bread was toasted but still soft. Perhaps the unsung hero of the meal were the fries and the malt vinegar aioli! The fries were incredible and the accompanying aioli was perfectly tangy, we couldn't stop eating them in spite of being full. Overall we were really pleased with our meal! We will be back to try more of the menu.

Funny thing is the night they offered that, I had made it for my husband and he had the leftovers for his lunch, so he opted for a salad that night. In the restaurants defense, as someone that makes the dish, it takes some space to marinate the meat for a few days and maybe that's the problem....but honestly I tasted the gravy on her dish and it was great, so I understand her disappointment and maybe Jimmy's needs to reevaluate having that or finding a way to accommodate other diners. So we went for breakfast on a Sunday morning. We are always looking for places to eat on the weekends, and there are just not enough breakfast places in the area. We walked in at around 8 and they still weren't real busy. We got a nice booth and were served coffee and our server got our order pretty quick. Johnny's is diner like, so everything is on your table ready to go....and what I really liked is that I didn't have to ask anyone to get a Tabasco sauce for me. It was already on the table! Both my husband and I ordered sausage and swiss omelettes. They both came out cooked done and hot with just the right about of cheese. I know a lot of places we go seem to be skimping on that, but we want to taste it in our bite and we did! Our server refilled our coffee and was very pleasant. There is nothing like the hometown vibe that are in small restaurants and this one is no exception.
