    We had been to one in downtown San Diego before. When my wife told me that this was on the way home from Del Mar, I was definitely down to have a good breakfast before we got home. This one is right near the Del Mar racetrack down the street. It's in a shopping mall and it's sort of hidden. On the side of a big building there is a set of stairs that you can walk up and if you go forward and to the right or left, you'll see the restaurant. They have indoor and outdoor seating, but we chose to sit outdoors because it was so nice. I knew aside from having their pancakes. I was gonna try something new and I decided that breakfast burrito was in the works. I really enjoyed it very much. Bacon, egg, cheese, hashbrowns were inside the burrito. It came with the side of salsa, and a side of beans. The beans were OK, but the burrito was the best part which was very important. I ordered a stack of bacon, pancakes, which were good as always. My wife kept it short and sweet and had a stack of strawberry pancakes, which looked really good. The service was really great and everything was perfect to start our day on our way home.

    We had a really good meal at this location. I would definitely come back. Staff was friendly. The only thing I didn't like is the door was open and it was a little hot and there was some flies. The food was good.

    My wife and I stopped here for breakfast after reading positive Yelp reviews. Parking was readily available in the large, private parking lot. After walking up a few steps to reach the restaurant's main entrance, we entered and were pleasantly surprised by how clean and well-organized the restaurant was, both inside and out. We were greeted by a restaurant employee who immediately seated us and led us to an empty table. After placing our breakfast order, we waited no more than ten minutes before our food was delivered to our table. I ordered an oven-baked Mediterranean and cheese omelet, which was AMAZING!! And my wife had eggs and pecan hot cakes, which were tasty and filling. The service we received from our waitress was excellent; she was friendly and attentive. Our dining experience was positive

    Yum yum yum! I loved Richard Walker's when I visited 10 months ago and had been dreaming about it ever since. The savory spinach and mushrooms crepes are simply delicious! My friend loves the German fluffy pancake and the apple pancake. So good! We also ordered baked Mediterranean Omelette with side of pancakes. Solid. No complaints. Service was friendly and attentive. Since it is in middle of Flower Hills Mall, not much in terms of views and parking can be difficult. But plan to go early to avoid the crowds. Glad we returned and hope to come back again in near future.

    Richard Walker's Pancake House had been recommended to me, so I was excited to try it while in Del Mar. If you're looking for a classic breakfast spot with big portions and seriously good pancakes, this place absolutely delivers. We went on a Friday morning and were pleasantly surprised that there was no wait, which felt like a small miracle for a popular breakfast spot. Parking was also super easy with plenty of free parking available nearby, which is always a win in this area. The vibe is casual and laid-back, with a relaxed breakfast crowd and outdoor seating that makes for a really nice way to start the day. It feels like the kind of place where you can take your time, drink coffee, and enjoy a long breakfast. Of course, the star of the meal was the Baked Apple Pancake. The menu warns you ahead of time that it takes about 20 minutes to prepare, which makes sense once you see it. This thing is massive and comes out puffed up, golden brown, and filled with soft cinnamon apples. It's easily one of the most memorable breakfast dishes I've had in a while -- warm, buttery, and perfectly sweet. Another standout was the bacon, which was thick-cut and incredibly flavorful. If you're a bacon person, you'll appreciate how hearty it is. We also ordered hash browns, which were crispy and really well done. One thing to note is that the portions here are huge. You could easily share many of the dishes, which helps balance out the fact that the menu is a little on the pricey side for breakfast. Still, when you consider how much food you get, the value ends up feeling pretty fair. Service was great -- friendly, attentive. Overall, this was a fantastic breakfast experience and one I'd happily repeat.

    Enjoyed our brunch as usual. No line and food were ready within 15 mins. Ordered my usual Ultimate Benediction. Runny yolk on all my poached eggs which are delicious. Well seasoned hollandaise sauce. Apple pancake - Iconic dish due to its puffy, caramelized apples with cinnamon sugar glazed. Must try dish and you won't regret it. Staff/servers were all attentive and friendly. Highly recommended if you're looking for an excellent breakfast brunch experience.

They arranged a table to accommodate all of us very quickly. We enjoyed sitting on the patio as it was warm and partially cloudy today. Everything was wonderful from our service by Elsie to our meals which came out hot and ready about 15 minutes after we ordered. They serve ice cold water and have condiments on the table (cholula! Yeah). My husband was super pleased with the coffee (which he drinks black), saying more than once that it was really good. He ordered the short rib hash and I ordered the My Way or the 101 Hwy (2 eggs over easy. house potatoes, chunky sourdough toast, crispy bacon. ) Every element was cooked for maximum flavor and perfect texture--no notes!

They were busy on this beautiful Sunday morning, but we were seated shortly after. The host was warm & conversational as he seated us. The waitress Elsie explained the specials & was very friendly & attentive. She took our drink order & later returned for our order. The food arrived quickly & was just as we ordered. Sourdough toast with tomato & bacon. The avocado was fresh & just the right amount. My scrambled eggs were cooked the way I like them. Everything was fresh & seasoned well. The brewed ice tea hit the spot on this warm sunny day! I am a pet sitter in the area, so I walk by this place almost daily with the dog. It is decorated in a happy inviting vibe, very cute. I love a good breakfast spot, so if you do too check out Sunny Side Solana. Welcoming, wonderful service, clean, and great tasting food (fur friends welcome on patio outside.)

We were pleased to see the wide selection of savory and sweet options on the menu, and our server was so nice and accommodating as he went over the menu with us.

I got the Skinny Jane with scrambled eggs, sausage, and fruit. So delicious and filling! My friends thoroughly enjoyed their meals and we had no leftovers at all.

    September 6, 2026 A…read morequestion for the public: If you spend an average of $60 for brunch, what do you expect to get for your money? I expect good food, basic courtesy, attentive service, and an enjoyable experience. -Unfortunately, this morning was a very disappointing experience at a restaurant I have always enjoyed. This was not a ZIN experience at all. I ordered my food online and decided to eat inside at the bar. When I asked my server, Alicia A (on ticket) but she Never introduced herself so want to be sure it was bar tender not someone she used to ring ticket... about my order, she basically told me she didn't know where my food was because I had ordered it online my issue. Thankfully, the front receptionist noticed what was happening and stepped in to help me. Otherwise, I would have continued sitting there without food or assistance. The service continued to be extremely unpleasant and frustrating: * I waited approximately 30 minutes for my food, and she never checked on it. Mentioned early I eventually had to ask three different people to find out what was happening with my order. * I did not even receive my first cup of coffee without having to ask for it Multiple times and then handed with no stir creamer and left ... * When I asked for coffee, she eventually said, "I heard you. I'm getting it." How is this OK to talk to a customer? * When the coffee arrived, it was clearly the end of the pot. It was black, and there were even coffee grounds or beans in the cup. * I asked for a second cup of coffee. That was served bottom black old end of pot shaking to get cup full. I ultimately had to get the front receptionist to get me a fresh cup! * I asked for a cup of water and never received it. * I asked for creamer and had to follow up again. * The only real job she had to do was to make the Mimosa they were also terrible. There was far too much syrup, making them unpleasant to drink. I had a $10 coupon that I had confirmed before ordering the additional food. Despite that, the coupon became an issue in front of other customers at the bar, which I found embarrassing and humiliating. The manager and the bartender humiliated me as a team At the end of the meal, I specifically asked for the manager because I wanted him to address the situation without me having to continue dealing with her directly. Instead, he immediately put the situation back on her in front of me Interesting he watched her behavior. The whole time did nothing. I shared with the manager that my previous experience exceptional experience wit Another waiter. That was. was phenomenal and that the front receptionist today. Instead of simply recognizing their great work, he criticized The waiter, which I found odd as a superior, and never mention the gratefulness of the front desk . I found that very disappointing. The entire restaurant felt chaotic. Everyone seemed to be running around stressed and miserable. Whatever is happening behind the scenes is unfortunately being felt by the customers. The positives, because they deserve recognition Before I tell you about the Customer Service issue, which was extremely unprofessional and acceptable for any human to endure: * The pancakes are delicious. * The bacon is excellent. * The cooks do a great job. * My first experience with Brandon as my waiter was phenomenal. A few months back, I posted a great review and also specifics about the food. * The front receptionist today was phenomenal and went out of her way to help me. I am sharing this because I genuinely like the food. I know my community and how hard they work for their money so when they take family out to eat or alone they're expecting not just the great food, but the service as well. We waited for a good restaurant in Delmar, so I truly am only providing this feedback because I do want to see this restaurant succeed. But management needs to take a serious look at the customer service and overall atmosphere And how they personally handled today's crowd. I would not bring my family here right now. The environment felt too chaotic and stressful. Good food is not enough when the overall experience leaves you feeling ignored, barked at, embarrassed, and uncomfortable. This morning was simply not the ZIN experience I expected.

I sat there patiently, and the female employee came to the register to take my order after a while. I ordered my burrito... we had a choice of bacon or chorizo at the included price. Carne assda was three dollars extra or if I wanted all three meats it was five dollars extra. I probably should've not done this, but I paid for all three. I walked around while I waited. After seeing everything in the entire place, I took a seat near the Pick-up counter. While I was waiting there, the guy who was cooking was complaining about so many things. The one thing that really was upsetting is he said something along the lines of "people have to wait for their food anyways." this guy is angry and bitter, and does not like his job. The wait was oddly long I was tempted to ask them to cancel my order but I waited. The Third employee handing me my food with a smile in a box no bag no napkins no nothing. I guess those were self served, but would've been nice if he had said something because I got home and didn't have napkins or anything. The icing on the cake is paid for three meat definitely there's no bacon in here and I think I found one piece of Carne Asada so I paid five dollars extra basically for a chorizo burrito . There's hardly anything inside of it. I taste more tortilla than the inside. This was the most disappointing burrito. I think I've ever had in my life. I should've gone to the taco shop and gotten a much better burrito. Shame on you, Ranch 45. I don't have the energy to call you or go back and why waste my time and money coming back to complain. Our last visit also took a ridiculous amount of time for one pastrami sandwich. I was waiting in the car while my husband went in. Sad to say I doubt I'll be back here ever again. Step up your Customer Service step up the execution of your beef. Stellar quality meat is not enough. You need to execute and have staff that isn't complaining with an earshot of the customers.

I chose to sit inside near the open windows overlooking the street, which was nice for people-watching. My server came over immediately to introduce herself and was beyond friendly and attentive throughout my visit. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed with everything else. For starters, it was extremely hot inside. The windows were open, but there was absolutely no breeze, so it made dining pretty uncomfortable. I ordered: * Breakfast Burrito: This honestly has to be one of the worst breakfast burritos I've ever had. It was extremely dry and had absolutely no seasoning or flavor. The salsa served with it was way too spicy for me, so I asked for another dipping sauce. The chipotle sauce was much better and definitely helped. I was also disappointed that they used what tasted like processed/fake guacamole rather than fresh avocado. * Irish Coffee: This was actually really enjoyable! It came out at the perfect temperature and had a nice balance without being overly sweet. My friend ordered the Eggs Benedict and was also very unhappy with his meal. Overall, it's a cute spot and the service was great, but unfortunately the uncomfortable temperature and disappointing food really took away from the experience. I wanted to like it, but based on what we ordered, I wouldn't return.
