Aunt Emmas Pancakes - Chula Vista (CA)

5 /5 Ben Montoya: Stopped by for breakfast super delicious. Bit of a wait, about 20 minutes. Parking is a challenge . I hate that people bring dogs to a restaurant. Someone brought their dog and was told about their policy and the level of entitlement is mind-boggling. They had the nerve to put the dog on the furniture to sit. Since when is this acceptable?

4 /5 David Guillen Vazquez: The place is a dinner as any other American restaurant, you can get good breakfast here!, the waitress are very nice and they speak English and Spanish. The food is good, not exceptional but its a good option if any other places is busy, pancakes are good and the breakfast burrito was my favorite.

4 /5 Jward the Foodie: Aunt Emma’s Pancakes is a comfortable, dependable breakfast destination in Chula Vista. It shines when you’re in the mood for pancakes, a hearty breakfast, and a straightforward diner experience. If you can avoid the rush (or don’t mind waiting a bit), it’s a solid choice. Would recommend it for a relaxed morning out, especially with friends or family. Short stack of buttermilk pancakes: A staple here, ideal if you want the classic experience. Crepes (strawberry, apple, cajeta): For something a bit different, they mention crepes topped with fresh fruit and whipped cream.  Omelette + pancakes combo: Great if you want savory + sweet; omelettes get good mentions. Coffee: Many reviewers highlight that their coffee is reliably hot and well-refilled. 

3 /5 Vanessa Ochoa: My parents love coming here for the Monday–Friday breakfast specials. I ordered the #2 green omelette with two pancakes, and it was good. My mom usually gets the #1, which comes with two eggs, two pancakes, and two sausages plus she always adds a side of toast so she can make her favorite egg sandwich. The food is solid and the prices are very reasonable, which makes this a great spot for breakfast. The only downside for me was the coffee. I tried the hazelnut latte that one of the gentlemen kindly offered me a taste of, but it was pretty watered down since they don’t use an espresso machine. I also sampled their hot black coffee, and it tasted more like water than coffee. So come here for the cozy atmosphere, breakfast, and affordable prices but maybe grab your coffee somewhere else.

3 /5 Tina Dickson: When we walked in a couple people in our party smelt a very off putting smell. (That is the reason for the lower review) The food was what you expect. Tasty. Cost was fair. Nothing that blows your skirt up but definitely an affordable option that serves trustworthy food.
