Pegah's Kitchen - San Marcos, California

I was driving around yesterday morning, looking to get me a breakfast burrito from somewhere,......anywhere, when I saw this place, Pegah's Kitchen and figured they should have breakfast burritos and, sure enough, they did. So I walked into this place and found the charm of an old timey family owned style dinner. I was immediately greeted by the nice, soft-spoken gentleman behind the counter. I asked him if I could place an order to go. He said "sure" so I checked out the menu and discovered that they use 3 eggs in their breakfast burritos BUT they don't offer a combination of breakfast meats(sausage, ham and/or bacon) like many other breakfast burrito joints do. No, you are to choose only 1 of the 3. Sure, you can get all 3 meats, if you like, but they'll charge you extra for it. So I ordered mine with bacon and sausage and then I threw them a curveball by requesting my eggs to be cooked over medium, instead of the standard scramble. (I highly recommend that you try it like that next chance you get, it changes the whole dynamic of the flavor output of your breakfast burrito).He looked at me as if I were crazy when I ordered my eggs like that. I added a large Coke(no Coke, Pepsi, and 24 oz. was their largest cup) to my order and politely said "that is all". When he rang me up and gave me the total, I was in shock. I couldn't believe it. 1 breakfast burrito w/extra meat and 1 large Pepsi came out to be $24 and some change. Outrageous!!! Preposterous!!! Even the extra egg and extra meat does not, can not justify charging so much for a breakfast burrito and a soda. Not at a diner. Not anywhere. The burrito was good but not $10 extra worth of good. I doubt I'll be going there again and if you decide to check it out for yourself, make sure to bring your money....lots of it.

Highly recommend the biscuits and gravy. Great portion of feta with the Greek Omelette. Fast service!

Great service in a clean and bright environment. Server was very pleasant and attentive. Biscuit and gravy for seniors was mediocre. The gravy was "thin", lacking much sausage, and the biscuit was small. The over easy egg was crispy on the edges but unfortunately a bit underdone around the yolk. Oh yes, good coffee...and the wife's poached egg was perfectly done. Good home fries.
Mixed review...sorry. But the service did make up for some of the shortfalls.

Decent breakfast place. On par with IHOP or Dennys. Open from 6am to 2pm, no dinner service. About $40 to feed 2 adults with 1 ice tea, all in. Crowded during peak times, but still fast and pleasant service. For the category of quick breakfast cafe, it's very decent. The place is fairly clean, doesn't smell, and isn't too loud. Overall pleasant. The table and bench needed to be wiped down for crumbs, but wasn't sticky. Our server was efficient and knowledgeable of the menu. I had chicken fried steak with mashed potato and raisin toast with eggs over easy. Eggs cooked perfectly, toast was a great, and the chicken fried steak was juicy and not dry. Mashed potato was perfect, with real potato not instant. Will definitely come again. Very ADA compatible. Plenty of parking. Located in a strip mall. The only cafe in this part of town. They need a computer system and air curtains for the doors. We sat next to a door, and there were some flies. Ice tea was good.

Came here and was so happy to find there was no line to get a table when there was a line at mama kat's. Turns out, this place has way better food than Mama Kat's! No line to get a table at breakfast, the food came out quickly, our server was a very nice woman, the food was delicious, and the restaurant is clean, with lots of beautiful natural light coming in the windows. I absolutely recommend this place.

Standard American breakfast fare. I ordered a combo breakfast with pancakes and was pleased to see my server pull out a fresh syrup container and fill it with warmed syrup. This was a very nice touch.

Came for Mother’s Day Breakfast. At 7:02 am . There was just one gentlemen and we were the first family to walk in.

Overall wish the server was a bit nicer. I asked for more silverware and she sharply responded “I already put 5 “ one per person . considering I had two toddlers with me and silverware had fallen on the floor..

I asked for a extra spoon and got told pretty much no.

food was good nothing spectacular. will probably not return again just for the rudeness. I think the last time I came was when it was still called ‘San Marcos family restaurant’ ?
