The Potholder Cafe Los Alamitos

I expect more for a $50.00+ Breakfast with potatoes and eggs. My husband order chorizo scrambled. The potatoes were burn and the eggs with chorizo looked a bit wet. I order the Mundo or mando burrito sauce that cover the burrito seem/tasted like it came from a bottle. The stuff inside was not seasoned well, potatoes again burned, and just a mess. Even the bacon was not good. The pancakes were difficult to cut and not fluffy. The lady was nice but EVERYTHING ELSE JUST BAD. I expect more for a $50+ breakfast.Parking: Plenty of parking, just be careful because their is a gap down after the small wall

Small place. Great gluten free skillet potatoes. The family party we had was about 25deep and the helped us with tables on the patio and everything. Good was great. Everyone loved it.Food: 5/5

Spoke with them about their gluten free options as I have celiac and they said they clean the surfaces. Not sure if I'm going to get sick or not yet but the gluten free pancakes were very good and they seemed to take great care.Dietary restrictions: A few gluten free and vegetarian and vegan options.

This place has a huge fly problem indoors and outdoors. The food was delicious and service was great but I'd like to enjoy my food without me having to swat my arms around for the flies not to land on my food.

Came here for breakfast on Saturday morning as I was passing through the area. The location is rather odd, as it's a diner located in a shopping strip with a lot of miscellaneous stores around it.Inside however, it's very pleasing to the eye. I like how it feels like a very laid-back diner, with an American/50s-esque theme.The food was delicious and with the wide variety of options, an appetite of any kind can be accommodated for. I had two eggs with two sausages, three pancakes and a potato scramble. It had some specific name as a combo option but I cannot recall it now. It goes without saying, what I had was delicious, everything was perfect from the fluffiness of the pancakes to the potato scramble. It was great.Service was also amazing, all the employees were friendly and attentive, making sure we always had everything we needed. One man thanked us for coming in to eat there that morning as he refilled my coffee, and I felt that type of service was endearing and something not common at most other eateries. I really appreciated it.Overall, great stuff, I loved this diner a lot. Will be back when I visit SoCal again in the future.
