Best Breakfast Restaurants in San Marcos

The experience at Casa Gabriela is wonderful. Everything about the environment that the staff have created feels inviting, warm, friendly, and comfortable. The staff went above and beyond, not just with our party, but I observed them doing this all over the restaurant. The restaurant is bright, warm, playful, and elegant. And, of course, the food and drinks are spectacular.

Delicious food! So happy to see they could make their pancakes gluten free and keep the recipe- I got to try the goat cheese blackberry instead of having to get a stack of pancakes on the side. The guava mimosa also delicious. Great food, fun brunch.

The food and atmosphere are always a hit here. We brought family from out of town. I should have booked the Fireplace tables on the patio, but other than that, the evening was flawless. The salsa was delicious, tacos and burgers equally so. Walking to the car, you could smell the ocean on a perfect San Diego, winter night. They got us in and out in plenty of time to make our Lightscape, time slot!

The fish tacos were delicious and fresh. We also had the ricotta bread with a side of smoked salmon. The restaurant is very accommodating with special requests.

Amazing food, first of all. The service was good, the staff was very attentive to all patrons and it wasn't one individual person, the entire staff is there to help. The menu is a great assortment of various breakfast items with many of them being signature dishes. My table ordered the Chicken Marsala, the Reuben sandwich, Loaded Fries, Short Rib Hash and a single pancake. The Chicken Marsala was juicy and the marsala sauce and mushrooms were just so tasty and perfect and it was paired with some DELICIOUS potatoes and asparagus. If you are a Chicken Marsala fan, I would highly recommend this!! The Reuben sandwich was just delicious. The amount of Corned Beef in the sandwich was enormous and the servings size is HUGE, paired with some of the best crispy fries I've had, next to of course their LOADED Fries! The same crispy fries but now just with their white cheddar sauce and chunks of bacon, that was the HIT at our table!! Lastly was the Short Rib Hash, the potatoes again were amazing and the tender juicy chunks of Beef Short Rib were just everywhere in that bowl, and all topped off with a fried egg!! This place is great, the vibe is calming and not loud, perfect breakfast spot to just meet up, enjoy a meal and have a great conversation without having to battle all the other conversations that other restaurants deal with. This is just a great place!!
