4.8 / 5.0(194 reviews)

Best breakfast I have had in years! Jose the owner is so friendly and cool, with a passion for food and service. Small cost family vibe. my first time writing a review but I had to give this hidden gem a review . This is a 10/10 dinner, food was amazing/fresh and surprisingly had a lot of food option! I was hesitant cause the area was a little sketch but as soon a you walk in the atmosphere was really relaxing and lowkey. The service was really good too. I absolutely enjoyed the place and wish great things upon it. My mom & husband are picky eaters & were craving breakfast burritos. I seen the reviews here & wanted to try a place near home. My mom & I got chorizo burritos & my husband the reg. breakfast burrito. Upon entering, it was very small but homey. The gentleman who assisted I believe was the order taker, cook & possibly owner. But he was so sweet & reminded me of an uncle. My mother & husband LOVED THEIR BURRITOS. I enjoyed mine also. I'm excited to go back & try their other items. Thank you Joe's Diner!

Super clean, cozy, and reminds you there are still good people in the world. We were seated immediately. This location is set to support about 14-16 people in the seating area, so keep this in mind. The gentlemen that took the order was patient and attentive. We were able to actually see him cooking too. Not only was the kitchen super clean but he also cut the fruit and veggies for the meals to order. Clearly defining customer service and elevating the experience. While the only thing that I wished was different, being a father with many children, it is always a guarantee that someone has to use the restroom. He was very polite in letting us know the restroom was in the back and to just let him know if we needed to use it. All and all a great experience. Thank you for having us!

Best breakfast burrito! The green 💚 sauce was outstanding. The staff was incredible, super nice and fast. The RAMS plate was fantastic! Cannot say enough good things. We loved it!
