Our Chicken Cesar Salad Wrap is just worth coming back for, even after some trends end. 😎
Available at both locations in Costa Mesa & Newport Beach, 8am-8pm. 🤙

Turn that volume up and you could almost imagine being here. ☀️

When your favorite diner is open from morning to night, it’s easy to see why you’d come back for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! You gotta ask yourself, “Why only settle for one of the Breakfast Burritos (yum)?” when you could double dip later for the Steak & Frites? 😎🤙

Come swing by and kick off the holiday weekend with us!
Open 8am-8pm in Costa Mesa & Newport Beach.
