San Luis Rey Café

I came here because I wasn’t that hungry so I wanted something fresh and easy. I did want to eat at the buffet but really didn’t have time because I wanted to do some other things. The menu isn’t that big but it was a decent size.
I’m trying to watch what I eat so I decided on a tropical salad which had watermelon, mint and shrimp. I was thinking how is this tropical? There was pineapples, mangos or any other tropical fruit. Yes the shrimp were a very nice size and the watermelon was good. The salad was pretty big too to my surprise. For dessert I got the 7 layer chocolate cake and it was good but not the same as Claim Jumper.
I would eat here again because it was affordable the service was good and so was the food.

Nice evening out with hubby. Great service. Quiet atmosphere. Food was ok. Fries were yummy. Steak was a little dry. Veggies were ok. Some were cooked more then others. But all in all a nice night out.

Average food, but great service. Place is clean, and prices decent. Had an omelette for breakfast, which was great — they didn’t skimp on the feta cheese or avocado, so that was nice. Hashbrowns lacked flavor — underseasoned.

The food was delicious! I was a little reluctant about ordering the bolognese here but I’ve been craving pasta lately and I was definitely blown away! The flavors were amazing and the meat to pasta ratio was just the way I like it. So kudos to the chef!
The service was real slow today!!! We were seated at a busy section and the waitress was overwhelmed! She had 12 tables-​I know because I counted! And we weren’t the only impatient customers, a couple walked out as soon as their food got to the table. I definitely felt bad for the waitress-​it wasn’t her fault at all. It was the lack of employees they scheduled to work today. Even the manager was out bussing tables. Our waitress was very sweet and waited on us just fine. She got everything we ordered correctly and really tried to remember to refill our waters. We were thirsty haha.
The cashiers and hostesses need a little customer service training to say the least! They were rude and had a lack of motivation. I wasn’t pleased with them at all.
I’m giving them 3 stars based on the taste of the foods we ordered and the waitress’s positive attitude! The wait time and the cashiers ruined what could’ve been a 5 star rating. I’ll be back.

My server was great! He was busy, but he took care of me! (YES, I made sure he was given a good tip) I had the Steak & Eggs and it was delicious. I like my steak medium rare and it was prepared quite nicely. For a Café, the steak was pretty impressive. They must get their steaks from the Fiore Steakhouse because the quality was outstanding! I didn’t eat it all and there was no way I was leaving such a beautiful piece of meat to be thrown out!
I thought the café stayed open 24 hours, but I believe they close at 2am. As a woman that loves to try her lady luck, you never know what time you will notice that you haven’t eaten and your tummy is growling. Look at your watch (or cell phone in my case) an it’s 3:30am! You want great food and they have it here at the café!

Average casino café, with typical café menu. I was hoping to get food and return to room before Josie had to go into meetings but sign said that that was not allowed do to how busy season was. I had breakfast of Chicken fried steak. Which if you have read my breakfast reviews is the best judge of a breakfast place. If you can get the gravy right then you have done well. The gravy was done right. There was a good amount of sausage and the gravy was not too thick or runny. Two eggs and hash browns. Hash browns were crisp and eggs done a perfect over easy. only had one meal here so my review is limited.

Came here on an unusually slow Saturday night. There were many tables and booths to choose from and the hostess seats us next to a family with two young rowdy children… keep in mind this is close to midnight. We order calamari, short ribs entrée, and a bowl of pozole. The food was barely OK. The short rib came out cold… had to send it back. The calamari came out looking and tasting like fish sticks… the soup was full of grease! Where is the quality control? To top it off, our server pours water into our sodas. Strike 1, strike 2, strike 3, strike 4, and so on. Everything went wrong tonight…

Food was good. Service was cool. I didnt like that we couldnt get our order to-​go. My mom and I were done playing for the night and we wanted something we could eat in the room.

It’s a typical café, inside a casino. Nothing fancy, but the service was great (I think our servers name was Martin), and everything seemed nice and clean. Prices weren’t horrible. We had:
Chopped salad, and replaced the meat with avocado. Very plentiful $ 10.99
Cheese Quesadilla with salsa, sour cream and guacamole. Very filling. The salsa was not at all spicy, which I liked. Guacamole was not good tho $ 6.99
House salad: Nice size, and good crisp lettuce. $ 5.49
Garlic Bread. Meh $ 1.99 for two slices and we didn’t finish them
Graded within the class it is in-​café. NOT fine dining by any means but good for lunch
