Went here with family. No one had visited before. Hispanic run, and specializes in pancakes! A different specialization. I ate a Mexican breakfast, a variation of huevos rancheros, and it was excellent. The other three adults had a dish that included pancakes, which they thoroughly enjoyed. Another review mentioned the excellent, different sausage...double thumbs up on that. VERY good... We... More

We had scrambled eggs, pancakes, hash browns, & sausages. The latter are not your normal store bought sausage, they are twice the size of regular sausage. The sausages were good, but the bacon could have been crispier. The pancakes are fluffy. I would have given it 4-Stars but, I was disappointed and disgusted to find that the pancake syrup is... More

This place is small, but delicious food. We just visited some family and they took us here. Portions are huge, but you can get a huge variety of breakfast meals. I would vivit it again and it is all reasonably priced.

WOW! This place is over the top in every way. Very friendly & knowledgeable wait staff- EXCELLENT service, amazing food, enormous portions – these really are made to share or have 2nd breakfast left for later. All of the benedicts sauce is slightly lemony and deliciously light tasting (helps you ignore the calories you are shoveling in) – not a... More

The pancakes are SO perfect and fluffy! I had some with boysenberry syrup and a side of homestyle potatoes, and my boyfriend had sausage, eggs, pancakes, and potatoes. We licked our plates clean (figuratively of course!)! If we are ever in that area again, we are definitely stopping there for breakfast...they serve lunch too! **Note they do close after lunchtime,... More

My family and I have been eating at the Family House on and off since 1966. It is a great place for breakfast.

We go there for breakfast and are never disappointed. Love their pancakes and omelets. Their service is the best we've ever encountered. You may have to wait awhile to be seated on the weekends, but it's definitely worth the wait. Very large portions, so wife and I always share a plate.

We visit here everytime we are in San Diego. The food is wonderful and the staff is friendly. You can't go wrong eating breakfast at the establishment. Can't wait to go here again next time we are in town. I especially like the choices for Mexican breakfast.
