Ana and her staff are amazing. Constantly making sure we had everything we needed. My group felt blessed by her customer service and made sure our food was out in a timely manner even though it was very busy! Would recommend to anyone!
I don't recommend this place. The place was dirty, the service was pressuring me to take the order, the food was bad, the worst chilaquiles I ate, the restroom was very dirty and the price was high for poor quality.

We went to Early Bird because we’ve heard the food is amazing! We had a couple of different dishes and the food was OK, I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and I was disappointed because it was a little soggy, I think it was sitting out for a while before it was brought to the table. My friend had a breakfast sandwich and it was a little hard to eat since it’s stacked with so many items. The best item we had was the Dutch waffle. As for the service it wasn’t great we kept having to wave down our server as he never came by to check in..

Nestled in the heart of a bustling plaza, Early Bird is a culinary gem that stands out for its unique blend of Peruvian and American dining experiences. My wife and I decided to visit this popular spot for brunch, intrigued by its promise of a fusion menu that piqued our culinary curiosity.Upon arrival, we were immediately struck by the vibrant atmosphere of the restaurant. Despite its popularity, which was evident from the hour-long wait for a table, the plaza offered ample parking. However, due to the restaurant’s busy nature, we found ourselves parking further away than anticipated. Early Bird utilizes a phone texting system to manage its queue, though in practice, it seemed they preferred the traditional method of calling out names. This slight disconnect in their seating process led to a longer wait for us, possibly exacerbated by a mix-up with another guest sharing my name.Once seated, the service quickly took a turn for the better. The staff was attentive and efficient, ensuring that our food arrived promptly after we ordered. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the Lomo Saltado, a Peruvian classic that was executed with a flair that married well with the American dining style Early Bird aims to fuse. The flavors were robust and satisfying, a testament to the kitchen’s skill and creativity.However, despite the delightful culinary experience, the cost of the meal gave us pause. The pricing at Early Bird is on the higher side, especially when compared to other brunch offerings in the area. While we understand the premium ingredients and unique culinary fusion may warrant higher prices, we felt that the value proposition could be better balanced to reflect the overall dining experience.

HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, AND RUDE SERVICE!!What had happened to this restaurant? I used to really ilike this restaurant before I move from OC to LA. I came back to OC recently and wanted to show this one to my best friend and I was really shocked with their quality of customer service. I came here on Wednesday 1/10 and server was ridiculously rude.We ordered at least 15-20 minutes earlier than other customers, waited ridiculously long for an omelette and a toast, and our foods came out only couple minutes before other customers. Employees were eating their foods so maybe they were too focused on eating their meals instead of serving foods to the customers idk. For an omelette and a toast, it just took way too long. Server never talked to us in a nice manner (he was nice to other people though) and he almost threw a check to us when we were still eating our foods. ALMOST THREW A FREAKING CHECK. Of course, he didn't bother to say"take your time" or "thank you." Seriously, what had happened here? I tried to not leave him any tips but the other server was pretty nice so had to leave just a little. I usually leave more than 18% no matter what and it is very rare for me to leave below than that. Also, their omelette was okay but their french toast was way overpriced and awful. It was even hard to chew. This restaurant no longer worth my hard earned money anymore and I will be looking for another good brunch restaurant. You guys just lost a patron

EXCELLENT breakfast place especially if u love Benedicts. You must try Trio Benedicts. All was good especially with fresh squeezed OJ.Kid-friendliness: Lots of kids with families and waiting outside for a seat.
A deceptively large amount of food. Everything was tasty! My only recommendation would be for the Elvis waffle, smash the banana.

Went here based on a recommendation and was stoked at how delicious it was. The Mexican coffee was incredible and they offered free refills. I ordered the Benny Sampler and thought they were each amazing. My only complaint was I felt like the eggs were small but outside of that the meal was delicious. My daughter ordered a hot chocolate and it looked incredible. Everyone at the table was left satisfied.
