    This place feels like you're eating at a grandparent's house. It's cozy and welcoming, but in no way tries to compete with a Denny's, Ihop, Jim's, Full Belly, etc. Very suitable for the location and experience. The staff I believe are all related, which is very unique and adds to the appeal. Very informal-neighborhood vibes. The food is always good; hot and fresh. Coffee is also consistently brewed well. It's a general morning/breakfast roast but never taste watered down. Poached eggs are done perfectly. Bacon is thick and light crisp with a good chew. Waffles and pancakes make me want to over eat every time. Biscuits I would swap for something else. Always enjoy The Broken Egg Cafe and glad they're in my general area.

    Strawberry and banana French toast with eggs and bacon.  This place is delicious and really cozy. Fast and great service!

    This cozy cafe offers a variety of different breakfast items with fast and amazing service. So far my go to has been this strawberry and banana French toast with eggs and bacon. It smells soooo good in there :)

    Breakfast was so good! Great service and nice little hidden spot on this side of town! We got the all meat omelette and strawberry French toast both were really good!

    Pancakes and more , added their delicious potatoes that are perfectly seasoned

    Been coming here for several years and the food still does NOT disappoint. With inflation some restaurants have traded ingredients for poor quality and I am so happy to see that their breakfast items are still great quality.

    Hidden gem! Yummy breakfast. Everything came out better than expected! Forgot to take a photo before we started eating!

    Pork chop, potatoes, strawberries, orange juice

    Great menu, great service. I'm paleo and liked the a la carte section. Everyone was happy with their food.

    When it comes to food I always prefer being able to support local business/mom and pop shops. The chorizo eggs with potato and beans brought me back to breakfast with my grandparents in Mexico. This neighborhood cafe has amazing service, the staff are so friendly and the place itself is very clean. What I loved and most definitely recommend is the green salsa, I personally can't handle spicy food but when my mom told me to try it..try it. The TASTE of the salsa is delicious and has that hint of Mexico. Although I unfortunately didn't get to try the pancakes, I'll most definitely be coming back again to try them! American food with the Mexican taste! Cuando se trata de comida, siempre prefiero poder apoyar a los negocios locales o a las tiendas familiares. Los huevos con chorizo, papas y frijoles me recordaron el desayuno que desayuné con mis abuelos en México. Este café en el barrio tiene un servicio increíble, el personal es muy amable y el lugar en sí está muy limpio. Lo que me encantó y definitivamente recomiendo es la salsa verde. Personalmente, no soporto el chile o picante, pero cuando mi madre me dijo 'pruébalo', la probé. El SABOR de la salsa es delicioso y tiene ese toque de México. Aunque desafortunadamente no pude probar los panqueques, ¡definitivamente volveré a probarlos! Comida Americana pero con sazón!

    First time and I must say this little hidden place did not disappoint the food was great and the service was excellent as well, great little family oriented spot would recommend have to return and try out lunch on another day. Great job.

    Chicken & Waffles

    Stopped by today at around 7:30 in the morning. The atmosphere inside of the restaurant had a very "home made" feeling. Nice lobby music playing and the young man who served us was very polite. Ordered our food and it was out in about 10 minutes. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles. It looked real good but in all honestly it looked better than it tasted. It wasn't horrible by any means, but I was expecting a better taste. Chicken had a slight frozen taste and waffles lacked flavor. Food came out in a timely manner and the temperature was just right. Chicken and waffles were a sizable portion. Syrup was warm as well. I did enjoy how the food complimented the atmosphere, it was very welcoming and warm, almost like the restaurant was hugging you. In all this was a decent mom and pop type restaurant. I would recommend you stop by and give it a try. I did only try one dish, maybe their other dishes are better.

    Been wanting to try a spot that didn't open until 11am and thought to try this place out. There were a ton of reviews on Yelp complaining about prices which gave me a heads up to keep my eyes peeled on $$. Service: We came in and were immediately seated. I couldn't understand the negative reviews on their food as it was quickly getting packed and customer traffic was steady but nonstop; what I called the overflow area was also getting full. Liz was our server. Before the wave of people came, her and one other woman was helping with tables, then the older man began to help when needed. There was a younger man with glasses who also helped with refills and served our food (he was very respectful and professional) - I think it's family owned, and you will see that the effort to help is there when needed. You could see this as the place was nice and clean. Food: *If you're not a fan of veggies, this may not be the plate for you* Chorizo Omelet; good but needed a bit of salt. I didn't expect so many veggies or chunks of meat. I initially asked the server if their onions would be raw or sautéed. She said raw so I asked for no onion (receipt reflects this). They weren't raw, but was served on my plate despite the request; I let her know and when she went to tell someone, she came back with the receipt. The bell peppers were raw, but the meats, mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, and everything else came out good.(I'm not a salt person and didn't think it would be necessary with all these ingredients, but needed it) French Toast and 2 eggs w/ sausage: we ordered and received the eggs over medium. The bread was the perfect choice; came out nice and hot. The bread did not become soggy with the syrup. Woohoo! The prices on the menu was less then what was charged. Both plates were fulfilling but not worth the cost that they are now charging. When we brought up the issue with the receipt, she spoke to the other woman and told us that the prices did change (increased) but the menu wasn't updated - they corrected it.

    Steak and Eggs

    Cute little hidden gem. Food tasted great! The only two things I would suggest are better butter knives (it was hard to cut the French toast) and adding a sugar free syrup option would be nice.

    Food was served piping hot and I had to let it cool down. Never ever had that. Omelets were fluffy and full of meat and veggies Cool music playing in the background. Staff was great. Clean place and really neat atmosphere. Dives are my favorite.

    Looking for a breakfast place close to downtown very easy to get to a very nice parking lot walked into a friendly staff we seated us at a table and goddess is wonderful, Mexican, hot chocolate to drink while we looked over the menu I ordered the stuff French toast with scrambled eggs and crispy bacon and my friend got cinnamon French toast with fresh fruit Restaurant is spotlessly clean A young man came by and was selling these wonderful, crunchy sugar and spice cookies that his grandmother made he was so enterprising. Next trip into San Antonio. Will make this our first stop.

    First visit was a walk in on Sunday and it was packed. I welcomed to sit at the bar but later a…read moregirl came up and found didn't have my ID even though I wasn't drinking. Thankfully the hosts found me and my party a table. Our server was bright, communicative, and genuinely attentive. The grits blew my mind with it's rich butter and creamy texture while still have the grain texture. The fried tomatoes were met with a cornmeal fried crispy crunch and a juicy almost like it was marinated in lemon juice for a bit. The bacon was pretty good like a thick chunky sweet bacon strip. I personally like it a bit thinner and more crispy. I like that they offer orange juice and mango juice. My 2nd visit I knew better to get a reservation but it was completely booked when I looked to make a reservation the morning of. It was a Saturday morning. I walked in hoping anyways at 11am. They surprisingly had seats available outside this Texas summer lol. The meat pies were okay a little too greasy. I may be biased on Irish pub style meat pies. The nachos with boudin sauce and a lemon sour cream was out of this world with flavor. It what bean dip wishes it could be. I was so full I couldn't finish it, but I went for that dip. Our server cést comme ci comme ca this time. It like she was just there to get through the day that barely started. I was served a dirty water glass with a lipstick stain on it. My server rarely came by and I had to ask another server to help. Honestly I only tipped the girl server out of manners. I would not accept her as my server ever again.

    The happy hour is nice. Lots of easy fried options to try different things…read more I got a lot of them - the crab purse, the meat pie, the boudin ball, the gator egg, and etouffee. All of them were okay or better. The meat pie and crab were the best. If I came back I'd try the red beans and rice and skip the egg. The only thing holding me back from loving this place were the beignets. I've been to NOLA twice in my life (but once was this July 4th). So I don't think I'm a snob about them but these were terrible. They aren't crispy or salty...they are sort of stale and tasteless (but you do taste the powder sugar). I'm surprised by how bad they were versus the other food when it's a Nola breakfast place. My son got a pancake and it was way better than the beignet. Not sure if I would come back, but if I did it would be for a happy hour again (but I'd skip the beignets). Our server was wonderful. Nice and attentive.

    A Perfect Return to Where Our Forever Began My husband and I…read moregot married at Hotel Valencia one year ago, so getting to return this weekend to celebrate our first wedding anniversary was incredibly special. As part of our wedding package, they were incredibly generous and included two complimentary nights at the hotel and dinner at Dorrego's for us to celebrate. They are truly the absolute best at what they do and really know how to celebrate their guests! Returning to the very place where we said "I do" was already emotional enough, but Hotel Valencia somehow made the experience even more memorable than our first stay. From the moment we arrived, the staff was exactly as we remembered them: kind, attentive, professional, thoughtful, and genuinely wonderful. Our room was absolutely gorgeous, and when we walked in on our first day, we found the sweetest surprise waiting for us: a bottle of champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries, and a congratulations message written in chocolate on the plate. I actually teared up a little! It was such a thoughtful and adorable gesture that truly made us feel seen, celebrated, and cared for. There is something so special about Hotel Valencia. The environment is exceptional, the service is always outstanding, and even their gorgeous signature scent instantly brings us back to memories of love, celebration, and adventure. Every little detail feels intentional and memorable. I am so incredibly thankful that we chose Hotel Valencia as the place to celebrate both our wedding and our first anniversary. It will forever hold such a special place in our hearts, and we cannot wait to return again and make even more memories there. Thank you, Hotel Valencia, for helping make two of the most meaningful celebrations of our lives absolutely unforgettable!

    A Wonderful Stay at Hotel Valencia!…read more We absolutely loved our stay at Hotel Valencia on the San Antonio River Walk! The location is perfect step out the front door and you're right in downtown San Antonio. From the hotel restaurant, you can take the stairs or elevator directly down to the River Walk, which makes getting around so easy and convenient. What we especially loved is that this hotel has so much character and charm. It doesn't feel like one of those cookie-cutter chain hotels. We had a balcony, although it was simply too hot during our visit to sit outside and enjoy it. I'm sure it would be wonderful on a cooler evening! The bar and restaurant were both excellent, and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming. A special shout-out to the valet guys they provided wonderful service and were always so helpful. Great location, beautiful atmosphere, delicious food and drinks, and exceptional service. We would definitely stay here again when we're back in San Antonio!

For a starter we shared the cornbread with another couple and it was plenty for 4 people. If you are from out of town and looking for some Texas-shaped vittles or just want something substantial to stretch your meal I recommend it! Very tasty and filling. For my main I had the scallops with creamed corn risotto. It was a dainty portion but the flavors were nice. My husband had the short rib tagliatelle which he loved. It was very rich and filling. We had the buttermilk pie again for dessert and this time it tasted sweeter than I remembered. It was good but we couldn't finish it. Idk if it was my tastebuds or if it was different. Anyways still a great meal overall and we will be back!

    Great atmosphere, Great service. The price versus quality doesn't meet! My date had the lamb chops…read more The lamb chops were full of fat and untrimmed, this fat didn't add any flavor. They were cooked medium rare. I don't recommend the lamb. I had the red snapper filet. I was basically. The best thing about the entire meal was dessert! We shared a large slice of butter pie and ice cream. Other than that, the food was average to, not good I made the mistake of going to this tourist spot, inside of the la mansion hotel, $168 later, I can truly say that I would never recommend this restaurant!
