Wonderful find for breakfast! Amazing portions for the price. My super sized burrito could barely be finished and for only $8.50. There was a $4 breakfast deal version that I should try next time since I could barely finish this one. Always love supporting local businesses and this was just a perfect place to eat outside too on the patio. I’ll need to come back to try their advertised giant burger.

$4 breakfast egg and cheese burrito, very yummy and very reasonably priced. Staff is very attentive. Found by chance, but will definitely be coming back. Yes the coffee was extremely hot, but I just had to wait a bit to enjoy it.

Eat here often with some buddies. Food is always great tasting,always fresh and big portions. Prices are cheap for the portion size. Very friendly service and never a wait. Get here quick though, the cook is retiring around April and not sure if getting new cook or closing up when that happens.

A very big menu to choose from. Large portions at a very good price. My favorite is the Crispy Chicken Bacon Ranch sandwich. Very large filet as well as their hamburgers. Breakfast burritos and breakfast specials. We travel from Placerville to Rancho Cordova to enjoy this place. A true gem!
