We are regulars here. Great menu with much variety. Their daily specials are amazing, and the portions are large enough for great leftovers (or very big appetites!) the service is excellent every time. The restaurant is busy, but efficient. They have a limited alcohol selection (beer, mimosas) and offer mimosa flights. It is quiet, but does have televisions. I recommend for breakfast and/or lunch. Lots of parking. Outdoor seating is available. read more

VIP is Always good. They have a wide range to choose from and my meal was delicious. I would definitely recommend and the service is great.

we impulsively decided to stop in here for breakfast and were pleasantly surprised. most of the booths were filled, but they were able to seat us right away. I opted for their breakfast special and my fiancé got their eggs benedict. we both enjoyed our food and despite the restaurant being pretty small and full of people, it did not feel crowded. we will definitely be back !! read more

Just got back from a very enjoyable late lunch with a friend and I've got to say that the French Dip sandwich was one of the best I've ever had. I love finding cafe's that serve great food, have attentive waitstaff and are very clean and this place checked all the boxes ! I'll definitely be returning ! read more

The food was good, and we really enjoy eating here, but the music is so loud, and we asked them to turn the music down, but the young man working said that they couldn't turn it down, even our kids thought it was too loud. People enjoy eating out to relaxing music, not being blasted while trying to have a conversation. read more

Place was terrible. They forgot about drinks. Messed up everything on my food plate. Gave me over cooked eggs, soft hash browns. Would never come back to this place read more

This place has a lot of options to choose from their menu. We ordered chicken tenders and waffles, sausage, eggs and French toast combo. Food was good but nothing special. The chicken tenders were a bit dry. We had to wait at least 45 minutes to get our seats since it was a busy Sunday afternoon. Servers were very attentive to our needs. If you like American/Mexican breakfast, I believe they served them here all day. Prices are reasonable here since everything has gone up wherever you go these days. The Ambience is very cozy and restrooms are clean at the time of our visit. We'll definitely come back to try their dinner menu. Hope we will get it right next time! read more

I ordered the lunch special chicken pesto sandwich was ok. The tomatoes were bad so I just took them out. My son had the BLT it was ok too. The bread was just roo dry and crunchy they should have toasted with more butter. The tortilla soup was more like a chicken broth with veggies ,not what i expected. The music was upbeat and our waiter was nice enough. He checked on us often. The price was good spent 28.00 but very basic food. We will try more. Thursday at noon. Not too busy inside. read more

This is a very unassuming restaurant. In a strip mall, tucked away, but don't let that stop you. Their menu is a mix of American and Mexican. I had their potato tacos, excellent! Will be back! read more

First time coming here and it was very good. The only thing I didn't really care for were the chili cheese fries. The chili was cold and kinda too tomato-e for my flavor and kinda sweet. There was a mix up also with our order. I wanted to upgrade my fries to winder chili cheese fries but there was miscommunication with the waitress and she brought us a whole order of chili cheese fries and then my winder fries on the side but that's ok. I had the BLTA sandwich which was delicious! The winder fries were very good and crispy! Would definitely reorder that again for sure. Hubby had the vip burger which he did finish and enjoyed it a lot and said he would get it again. He enjoyed the winder fries as well and even the regular fries are really good and crispy. My little one had the pizza and fries and of course she enjoyed it. Overall we would come back just for me personally I would not get the chili cheese fries again but everything else was very delicious! read more

Went to this new place last night for dinner, it is tucked around the corner from Stater Bros. Staff- A1, of waitress was super attentive and patient with us. Very clean with a simple layoff, well executed. Food was yummy, mozzarella sticks were so ooey-gooey cheesy....they were the bomb. My club sandwich was stacked and I had to open wide to get that baby in. Great new place, give it a go, I'm headed back next week to try breakfast, looked amazing. read more

ALL AREAS ARE REVIEWED 1-5, 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. Parking-4-Lots of parking for lots of shops, sometimes it's easier to find a space than other times. You can always park around the corner at Stater Brother. Seating-5-booths and chairs, all pretty comfortable. Most of the time you can pick your seat when you arrive. They also have outdoor seating, but I haven't sat outside as of yet. Wait staff-5-always in a good mood, waiters/waitresses/bussers are all very courteous and polite. Speed of Service-4-it never takes long, sometimes your food comes out quicker than other times. They do a good to-go business and I think that those meals take priority. Food-5- One of my favorite Mexican sports because one of my favorite breakfast spots. The banana and walnut pancakes are great, especially with some boysenberry syrup. The bacon is great and you can order a half order of your inclined. Ambiance-4- typical diner vibe with several big screen tv's to keep you entertained if the table conversation isn't doing it. Price-4-prices are about average for diner food, mine was $23 for pancakes, bacon, and an ice tea. Overall-5-I really appreciate the fact that the food is always good and comes out hot. It's a comfortable place to eat and get a little work done, and everyone there is always very nice Shout out- To-go ice tea is always offered and accepted!! read more

Greeted immediately upon arrival. Food was great. Mexican food is their specialty but the pastrami burger was the bomb.

Driving through Looking for a great place for breakfast and found a gem. Fast and friendly service. Delicious tasting food. I will be back 100% read more

I wanted to give this place a try, but it ended up being a total disappointment. Our sandwich had visible mold on it an actual green spot. When we pointed it out to the waiter, he informed the manager, but she never came over to address the issue or offer any sort of apology. We still had to pay the full bill and left feeling extremely disappointed. It was frustrating to see such a complete lack of accountability. read more

Food was so delicious!! Tons of different options for breakfast lunch AND dinner and everything tasted so FRESH! Service was quick and our waitress was very attentive and helpful with my dietary restrictions! They even brought me a side of paprika for my cottage cheese lol. It's the little things. Thanks so much for such a great experience and I will most definitely be recommending this place to my friends and family! read more

OMG - The Food!! Their pork chops are delicious! And their shredded beef tacos are my favorite with their salsa!! The owner, manager, staff should be training other restaurants in town. Smells good, comfy booths, decorating and big smiles. Can't wait to try their gravy & biscuits (I've never had that anywhere!). Tell them Pamela sent you - see you there! read more

Went to VIP in Murrieta on 9-5-2025. Ordered a Meat Lovers burrito and asked that the ham get substituted by machaca. The very nice server checked with the cook and came back and stated no substitutions. That was Ok. I ordered the breakfast burrito with machaca. $9.95 plus $3.00 for meat. The bill was for the meat lovers burrito. I asked the bill be corrected to the lower price of the breakfast burrito with meat. Another server came over and stated I was getting a bargain since machaca is more expensive. VIP needs to change their menu prices to reflect the true prices and/or teach their servers basic math. This will no longer be our go to breakfast place. Too bad. read more

We like to come here after church. It is a little pricey, but what isn't pricey nowadays. We were greeted and sat right away. Our waiter was friendly and the food came out delicious. I ordered the BLT on wheat not toasted with a side salad and the ranch is the best and the bacon is so good! Cooked to perfection in my opinion. My daughter got the French toast combo with bacon and scrambled eggs and she loved it! The rest of the family got a -cheeseburger with jalapeño's ( fresh) -Belgian waffle with strawberries, and the way it was nice enough to bring out the whip cream so she could put it on. The hubs got a grilled chicken melt ( I think that's what it is called). It was on the lunch special. I love the lunch special because it cuts the cost in half! Also they have a happy hour from 2-5 I believe. With Buffalo chicken wings, carne Asada fries and much more, we will have to come back for that. read more

Service was fast and food was good. I asked my server Carlos for a recommendation and he suggested the kitchen sink omelet. Their menu included several sides so I got pancakes to go with my omelet. Will definitely be back! read more

We recommend the breakfasts and lunch, but not the Mexican items, with the exception of the albóndigas which tasted authentic. Coffee is fresh and good. Never crowded, service good and prompt, parking easy. When you don't want to wait in line somewhere else, this little gem is the place to go. read more

We stopped here because I was craving menudo and a guy at the local Harley dealer said this place was great. I'm not thrilled about menudo with hominy but VIP's made it really well. The seasoning was on point and it was delicious. My husband had the fried ice cream but I was too involved in my menudo to take a picture or taste it. He said it was good. Employees were friendly and the place was clean. Other patrons were excited about their burgers too. Seems like a great place for everything. The menudo isn't on the menu but it's there on the weekends and delicious. read more

VIP’s Cafe Restaurant - Menudo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Murrieta, California

Great Family atmosphere!! Food is good and their service is excellent. It has become my favorite weekend breakfast place.

Soooooo first off I am 30 weeks pregnant and was starving. So you can imagine I wanted good food. I was not disappointed. Parking was easy to find. Going in was nothing but smile and welcoming words. Very modern with hint of diner looks and vibes. It's open sitting. That was nice. The waitress was very nice and friendly. Very attentive. We came within breakfast/ brunch hours so it was not that pact. We got the food right away. Everything tasted great. My French toast was cooked perfectly. Not like in some other places where it's a little raw in the middle. My husbands pancakes were nice and fluffy. Not at all dense or raw. The eggs and sausage and bacon tasted great. All in all I give this place a 5 star review. Really great. read more

VIP’s Cafe Restaurant - 3 Little Piggies and 2 Eggs French Toast Combo - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Murrieta, California

Recently visited location in Lake Elsinore on Canyon Hills Rd. For breakfast. We had Carne Asada and Chilaquiles and Popeye Omelette with cottage cheese and English Muffin. Service was good up until toward end of meal, somehow we lost our server to refill water glasses. Other than that everything was good. The seating is comfortable but not a large restaurant. Think dinner with good amount of tasty food for the money. I see they have full menu so Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, Light Healthy choices, Mexican Breakfasts, Quesadillas, Sandwiches or Burritos, Flapjacks & Waffles & French Toast looked really good. Hungry people will like Appetizers, Homemade Soups + Tacos, Salads. Huge Menu! We also tried a few days later the location on Hancock in Murrieta, just as nice, Service fantastic. We had Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo (Husband really enjoyed it with Albondigas soup. I had lettuce wrapped burger topped with avocado, bacon, crispy fries. Everything was good quality. I do recommend either location. Biggest menu that should please everyone. read more

if you like your breakfast with a little bit of racism, then go ahead and eat here. The waitresses are all ladies who have fair skin lighter Latinos. They are neglectful to people that don't look like them. again, the staff will ignore you. If you do not look like them they will treat you different. If you don't look like them and they are very racist and rude. let me explain what happened I walked into VIP café, looking for service, and one staff member was at the cash register walked completely away from me as I walked in another person came from the back went only to the tables to clean up some I guess to pick up the check from people that had already left but the tips and all that and did not acknowledge me did not did not welcome inside the store nothing and she said oh I'm sorry I thought you were being helped really you were just in the back, looking directly at me . read more

In the past we have had great experiences here, in fact this was my favorite breakfast spot in town, but our last visit left me feeling like we were not very important to our server. Upon our arrival we were greeted and taken to a combination bench and chair table. We have children and do not like these kinds of tables because they are shaky and not secured to the floor and because we don't like our children sitting in chairs because they will shift around in them and also don't want them sitting on a bench that is shared by other diners. We requested a booth and there were several open yet we were told that we weren't able to have one due to the fact that we had to sit in a certain section of the room for the convenience of the servers. We complied and selected our beverages and when the server took the drink order she completely neglected asking me after taking my husband's drink order. He had ordered a mimosa flight but I had wanted one of my own and a water because we were planning to spend some time in here because we had to stay out due to our home being inspected. When his flight arrived I decided it better to just ask for my water because I was already nervous about his three champagne glasses shaking on the table every time a child touched the table. We went ahead and ordered our food and before it arrived at least 3 booths cleared but we were not offered to relocate to any of them. When our food came out it was handed to us not placed on the table in front of us despite the fact the plates were warm. We were also disappointed to discover that none of us had silverware so we had to wait for our server to return to ask for some. When we got the napkins and silverware it wasn't handed out individually, rather, we were given the stacks to distribute amongst ourselves. The food was still fine but the service was definitely lacking, our son even got tired of waiting and felt the need to bring his cup to our server because he an issue with the taste of his fountain drink. We were not offered refills nor were we asked if we would like anything additional. We decided to cut our meal short and instead decided to kill time at a local park. The place was a bit busy but still not even close to as busy as when we go there on the weekends and overall we were left feeling like our server would have preferred that we hadn't visited at all. read more

(April 2022) Service 5/5 Food 4/5 This used to be the Carnitas Express (Mexican Restaurant). The server told me it's the same management/owner but now a cafe/diner format. They have your typical diner/cafe menu. I ordered the country fried steak with hash browns, 2 eggs, and fruit, but you do have a lot of choices for the sides. The interior was really nice, bright, and clean. The restrooms were clean as well. My server was excellent. A1. They have patio seating if you are interested. (see my photos) read more
