Absolute jewel!!! This place is a MUST try. My hubby and I saw it on Diners, Dives, and Drive-In’s. The food was phenomenal, with a mexican twist on breakfast. They have a family atmosphere, service was professional, prompt and personable. We will definitely be back!!

I had the chicken salad sandwich, and it tasted fine just lacked flavor. The chicken was choped up like it was made for a salad. The bread was burned it kind of crumbled when I picked it up. But on the upside the waiters were nice and the room felt welcoming yet a but messy. One big downside is they don’t accept card only cash and check.

Great place for Brunch, came last time we visited family here (over 7 years ago) and wanted to come back this time. It’s still great.

Good food, I ordered the dragon potatoes dish with a side of scrambled egg. It was good and filling, it came with one corn tortilla. Customer service was good, I just had to remind them for water refill. The only reason why I give it 3 stars is because they don’t have spicy salsa, I had to order a side of jalapeños for a fee, my option was tapatio sauce.

First time trying here not knowing what to expect. Server recommended the dish that was featured by Guy Fieri, and it was ok. I shouldve ordered something else. Pancakes were great though.

If you are hungry, arrive early. The wait was about 35 minutes on a Sunday.

My wife and I decided to have breakfast at Sin of Cortez, since it’s been 5yrs since the last time. We knew what to expect going in…10-15 minute wait time, excellant coffee and a varied menu of breakfast items that reflected the establishment and its practices, both of which are stellar. The prices have been increased, however, but the food quality has remained the same. I ordered the “Dragon Potatoes” and my wife ordered the “Cortez French Toast”… both featured items when Guy Fieri visited with his TV show. NEVER a disappointment, piled high with the ingredients of potatoes, black beans, sour cream, cilantro, green onions, etc., while my wife had Her French Toast with the purees decorating the outside room of Her plate, requiring very little syrup and instead focusing on the natural flavors. The atmosphere is always pleasant and not too noisy, the coffee refills are offered almost every 5 minutes, and the waitstaff is knowledgeable about the entire menu. Again, a little pricey, but the food quality is unmatched in town. Everything is worth ordering, AND they have Gluten Sensitive/Vegetarian variants for those who are looking for different options. Please do NOT sleep on this restaurant… it’s well-worth the price, the time, and the ambiance.

This place is SO good! I usually get the 2x2x2 with blackberry pancakes and it’s delicious. It’s pretty small inside but cozy. There’s lots of natural light from all the windows which is cool. Sundays are fairly busy but it’s still good service. Every time I’ve gone, the servers are all really nice. Just make sure that you bring cash because they don’t take card payments still. Although, there is an atm available if needed. Overall this is a great place for breakfast, would definitely recommend!

With the pandemic going on, i understand the safety measures that we have to practice . Our fist time to eat here and i must say that we decided we wont ever come to this place again. They only give 1 menu per table which i think is not cool. Servers are really not warm like snobbish people. Outside dining area is just too close to each other . Food is ok not even that good. Restroom is not even that well kept. So no thanks not ever going to come back here again.

A step away from all the basic stops and menu’s. This is worth the effort to stop in if you are in Chico. Everything is house made. You will need a few visits to find your favorite dish.
