My wife and I decided to have breakfast at Sin of Cortez, since it's been 5yrs since the last time. We knew what to expect going in...10-15 minute wait time, excellant coffee and a varied menu of breakfast items that reflected the establishment and its practices, both of which are stellar. The prices have been increased, however, but the food quality has remained the same. I ordered the "Dragon Potatoes" and my wife ordered the "Cortez French Toast"... both featured items when Guy Fieri visited with his TV show. NEVER a disappointment, piled high with the ingredients of potatoes, black beans, sour cream, cilantro, green onions, etc., while my wife had Her French Toast with the purees decorating the outside room of Her plate, requiring very little syrup and instead focusing on the natural flavors. The atmosphere is always pleasant and not too noisy, the coffee refills are offered almost every 5 minutes, and the waitstaff is knowledgeable about the entire menu. Again, a little pricey, but the food quality is unmatched in town. Everything is worth ordering, AND they have Gluten Sensitive/Vegetarian variants for those who are looking for different options. Please do NOT sleep on this restaurant... it's well-worth the price, the time, and the ambiance.

This place is SO good! I usually get the 2x2x2 with blackberry pancakes and it's delicious. It's pretty small inside but cozy. There's lots of natural light from all the windows which is cool. Sundays are fairly busy but it's still good service. Every time I've gone, the servers are all really nice. Just make sure that you bring cash because they don't take card payments still. Although, there is an atm available if needed. Overall this is a great place for breakfast, would definitely recommend! Update: We went back again today and it was good as always! Keep up the awesome work y'all!

I usually always get the artichoke scramble because it's the best but this time I ventured out to something new. Blueberry cornmeal pancakes and theybwere delicious! Food and drinks are always on point. I make sure and go during off times so I don't have to wait.

If you are hungry, arrive early. The wait was about 35 minutes on a Sunday. Our waiter, Tanner was awesome. He was friendly, knowledgeable about the food and drink menu, he bussed our table along the way (no dirty dishes piled on the table) and was all around attentive. The food was delicious. We had a breakfast sandwich, hash n potatoes, and strawberries and cream pancakes. Pancakes were huge, moist and fluffy. The rosemary potatoes were a hit with everyone and I loved the rosemary toasted bread. The mimosa flight was just what we needed, being our 1st time there it made it easier to identify our favorite. They were all good but the Brazilian and the pomegranate ones were our favorite. The house mimosa is perfect if you're on a health kick (it has kale) The down side - cash or check only (there's an ATM w/ $2 fee inside), no Tabasco, and my Sunnyside up egg's yolk was almost completely cooked through. I'd definitely recommend you check it out.

Such good food and drinks! The dragon potatoes are to die for. I'm a little wimpy so I get the jalepenos on the side. I also had to have the rosemary toast rather than tortilla. Cant wait to go back and try more items.

The owner is usually walking around checking on tables and how they're enjoying they're meals, she's very nice and sweet! This is one of my family's top favorite breakfast spots. Gluten free options, you must try their gluten free pancakes, they're to die for!!

First time trying here not knowing what to expect. Server recommended the dish that was featured by Guy Fieri, and it was ok. I shouldve ordered something else. Pancakes were great though.

Bring cash or check. Credit cards are not accepted. It's been awhile — back in the day I hit them up when they first opened on Nord Avenue and liked the food and the mochas. I was stoked to see they were still in Chico and had moved out to Esplanade. Some other changes — the menu is MUCH easier to read, the logo has been updated, and I don't think they are getting their coffee from the roaster down in San Diego anymore. They still do a great cook on breakfast potatoes. That being said I was bored with the "Dragon Potatoes". It read really nice — slow-roasted carnitas (tender, fat rendered nicely), crispy rosemary potatoes (perfect), black beans, jack cheese, jalapenos (not many), sour cream (decent amount), avocado sauce (not much), cilantro and Roma tomatoes. Get some drizzle bottles and kick up the seasoning a bit. Also, the cornmeal pancakes ran a bit dry so as much as I want to love Sin of Cortez (service was great, venue was nice, parking good) the food didn't do it for me and the house coffee did not encourage going back for a refill.

I had the chicken salad sandwich, and it tasted fine just lacked flavor. The chicken was choped up like it was made for a salad. The bread was burned it kind of crumbled when I picked it up. But on the upside the waiters were nice and the room felt welcoming yet a but messy. One big downside is they don't accept card only cash and check.

Small, sat by kitchen. Ordered roast beef hash came with big chunks of tough beef. Tamale breakfast also was just the corn maze. At the end of the meal we were informed they can only take cash or check. This restaurant was not for me.
