Found this little place when visiting family out in Cali. Great food, great staff, and very military & law enforcement friendly. Had the Chilaquiles with a little asada. A lot of food for a great price. Highly recommend.

Came with my husband to the junk yard pass by and saw this place we were let go have some breakfast OMG I really like places like this I feel like my mom was on the kitchen 🤭🤗

First time visiting, lived in El Monte for 5 years never knew this place was here; small but spacious nice little diner to come have a meal. I had the French Toast Combo with a large orange juice came out to $22.20. With a $7.80 tip came to $30 flat. Food was fine/delicious, place seemed clean. Lot of help in the kitchen, pretty fast service, no complaints. The atmosphere gives like veterans POW/Elk Lodge/small town/diner vibes, a handful of older(40/50+) dudes, a young teen couple and a family with toddler was here when I sat in at 10am on Wednesday morning. Parking: I was able to find a spot,but it is limited-if busy.

My family has been going here for over 20 years. It's still great food and great service. The food tastes home-cooked and has nice hearty portions.

THIS ONLY HAS TO DO WITH THE PRICE OF A CHORIZO CON PAPAS BURRITO It is March 2025 I got charged $17.00 No beans No rice Nothing else Just potatoes, chorizo, and a regular size flour tortilla And on a take-out So no cleaning tables or dishes or having someone wait on me It is actually less expensive to get a whole meal, dine -im, and have a waitress, than the robbery of this price. And I had thought this place was better than taking advantage of customers.

Flo's Coffee Shop is a great way to start your day. It's a little diner with great wait staff. Their food is always made to order and they give you great portions as well. Every time I come here it's a way to say "Thank you and miss you" to my Uncle Dicey (Jess) who was a big impact on my life, he's the one who introduced me to Flo's Coffee Shop. If you haven't tried give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

This is one of the best coffee shops I have ever been in! The food is great, portions are big and the hospitality is magnificent! Will be coming back again!

Hole in the wall restaurant, the food is good, the service is great. I ordered Sourdough French Toast, Coffee, Country Breakfast. I went on a Tuesday morning.

2025 you cant find a great mom and pop breakfast spot that is awesome. Always friendly and reasonably priced. Support small business not the chain restaurants like norms, i hop and Denny's.

I love love love love Flo's!! This place is a staple in El Monte, my parents took me for the first time when I was in elementary school and now this is my favorite place to take friends and catch up we ordered: green chilaquiles- 10/10 waffle with strawberries and whipped cream - 10/10 I always order their green chilaquiles with rice and beans, usually a hot chocolate too but it was wayyy too hot today. My friend ordered a waffle with whipped cream and strawberries and it was fluffy and light! Service and staff are always 1000/10 it's always a great experience eating here! I've been taking my friends here for years now, perfect place to eat breakfast and just talk and catch up. Parking is difficult in this small plaza, but you can park on the street and just walk over. We came at 12pm on a Sunday and there was no wait

The staff was so friendly and cozy. It's authentic Mom & Pop dinner. The Food is simple but delicious, and they also offer more unique item and lots of combinations. As a final pitstop on a vacation trip, This was a perfect

We were in the area and had to come back. This time I took pictures! Husband ordered the menudo and it was just as tasty as he remembered. I ordered the French toast combo this time around and it was delicious. Good portions. Servers were great made us feel like regulars. Will always come back if we're in the area.

Definitely a cute little Mom and Pop restaurant. My coworker suggested this cause it's quick and close to the job. The server was attentive and took great notes for each of our order. Came out with no issues. Fresh and well made. The French toast was prepared well and tasty. Prices were very reasonable too.

This is a great nostalgic mom and pop restaurant. The food is divine. The quality of the food is superb. I ordered the Polish sausage and eggs with a small side of cottage cheese with cantaloupe. Everything was delicious and very savory. The service is excellent. The owner, Flo is delightful, considerate, and accommodating. The staff is primarily, family members which make the setting very wholesome. The restaurant is very clean and filled with old military memorabilia pictures. Parking is located in front of the restaurant or on the side of the street. Great place to eat for breakfast or lunch. This is one of my favorite breakfast spots.

This is a nice mom and pop restaurant. The food is good. Good quantity and quality of the food served. Came here with my grandkids for breakfast before they started their day at school. We ordered the Polish Sausage and eggs, Breakfast Sandwich, Steak and Eggs and the French Toast Breakfast. It was delicious. The service is excellent and attentive. The restaurant is very clean and adds to its attractiveness.

Had the biscuit and gravy was soo good! But i think some sausage in the sauce would make this a 5star.

I live so close to this spot. Yolanda and family are amazing people. Sometimes I pop in just for a to go coffee. But most times I sit at counter and order chorizo plate. Or Menudo. Both are really good. Kids love coming here. It's a family run business. I love supporting these places over big corporate dinning. Service here is always pleasant. Don't hesitate...highly recommended

We love this place, have been going there since the 80s. The food is consistently good and it feels like a hometown diner with both Mexican and American food, which is like home to me.

I choose to try Flo's today. Since I live a few blocks down and never knew about this place. Service is awesome, waiter and waitresses are always on top of their customers to check if they can do anything else for them. I tried their Menudo with pata and is soooo gooooood. I recommend this cozy coffee shop to people who loves feeling treated like having breakfast at abuelita's home.

First let me say that our last two visits, not happy. Food chicken fried steak . Like old times very good, chili verde enchiladas first time very good. Service fast and friendly. Ambience, coffee shop comfortable.

Food is always amazing and customer service is on point. Love coming here every time I am in the area.

Hidden gem of El Monte!!! By far the best breakfast I've had in this area!!! Not only is this a family run business but the service is impeccable! It's a very homey feeling with great authentic Mexican breakfast and home style food!!

We've been looking for a small cafe like atmosphere and this place was it. Good is delicious

I was here early, there was plenty of seating. Full menu at 6:30, this is a good thing. Service was good, the coffee shop is no frills and that's just fine. I had the tuna melt, but their menu has many options.

This is our go-to restaurant when we're in the neighborhood. I love the atmosphere and the friendly staff. Great menu options and food is delicious.

Great atmosphere great food. Good service. We will definitely go back. Parking's not bad. Could park in the lot or in the street. If you get there early enough they do do a brisk breakfast. It does get a little crowded but for good reason. But anyway, You should definitely give it a try for a good, hearty breakfast at a reasonable price.

I have frequent this restaurant before. The food is good and reasonably priced. My only issue: Without telling me, I was charged a service fee for using my credit card/atm card. The recommended tip was also based to include the service fee. When I questioned the charge and the timing, I was told that this restaurant is under new ownership and this is the way the new owner wants it. It's time to eliminate the CA service fees and tip policy and privileges.

Found this breakfast place nearby and they serve up delicious brunch food. Definitely seems like a Mexican brunch spot with an interesting interior designs. The food itself looks really basic but taste delicious. I had the country breakfast which was pretty much a classic biscuit and gravy with your normal eggs and hash. Also tried the French toast which was very good. The food here is solid and price was reasonable at about $14.99 each. Has the basic black coffee and it wasn't bad either. Unlimited refills if you need the extra caffeine. To note tho, they charge a service charge of $1.26 or maybe that's a percent of the total order.

Interior pro blue pro military interior design. Very fun and comfortable to sit inside and enjoy the breakfast. Staffgreat approach and good service. Music: no music.but as a breakfast place morning news we're on which is great deal for me . I wish they provided newspapers Food: . It's was but it was in very greasy side every bite of everything was lots of butter or greasy. Once in a while I'll still do this place .

Flo's is a small mom and pop breakfast joint in North El Monte. Driven by here for years and finally decided to grab breakfast here. Small plaza, limited parking space. The donut shop in the plaza causes most of the parking getting taken. They never look open but they are. Ordered to go. Food was ready as quoted over the phone. Waffle Combo - $10.45 - Ok waffle, was soggy. Comes will eggs, bacon, and sausage. Huevos Rancheros - $10.45 - Decent ranchero sauce, eggs were cooked fine. Comes with rice and beans. Machaca & Two Eggs - $11.05 - Machaca had good flavor. Good dish but priced on the higher side.

The food was good! Simple breakfast sandwich was perfect. Service was welcoming and had such a home-y vibe

Friendly staff and simple food. I ordered the 2 egg breakfast with sausage and hashbrowns. I'd go back if ever in that area again.

Guys!!! This place was great! Yolanda and their team were so sweet, welcoming and accommodating. (Thank you!) I also mentioned my mom was visiting and she just turned 69! I didn't know this, but they were so sweet and came out with a dessert and sang to her. Mom is not use to that and was super shy, but I know she very much appreciated the attention. YAY!! We were able of 7 (4 were kids). We got the breakfast platters that were perfect! Pancakes had a nice chew in the inside with lots of tiny bubbles, the way I like it! That's how you get the syrup to soak in! Hubby got the huevos rancheros platter. It was great so we ended up order more! Plus half order of biscuits & gravy AND the French toast! We are a picky family of how hash browns should be. Lots of places do not have the same definition of breakfast potatoes. This places was great and had 3 different styles potatoes and even had pictures!! (Mind blown). We love breakfast hash and that came out as we expected - shredded, thin and crispy! My daughter was pleased.

Cool little shop on a not so busy corner. Adjacent from the donuts, the parking lot is easy to park in and Flos shop is easy to spot. I ordered the red chilaquiles and a waffle with a side of bacon. The chilaquiles were tasty had a nice kick. The waffle was perfect, fluffy and warm. I enjoyed the entire experience. The old history pictures were really cool to see and read.

I wish I would have taken some pictures of our plates! Their slogan of "...." is legit. The coffee was good, the service was great, and the atmosphere was welcoming. We enjoyed our meals. I ordered potatoes & chorizo plate and it was delicious. Since I don't mind sharing my meals, my brother and my hubby said my plate was was the best!! My hubby ordered the steak and eggs, but the steak was delivered in tiny pieces so he was slightly disappointed. My brother ordered French toast, eggs and bacon and he said it was good. As we peeked at other people's plates and the stacks of pancakes look delicious. The sandwiches and fries also look tasty. You should definitely try this locals place!

Had an absolutely wonderful breakfast here. Great service, comfortable dining room, and really delicious eggs and potatoes. Will return!

Great place for breakfast. The biscuits and gravy were so good. I had the Monterrey Omelette and it, as well as the O'Brien potatoes were delicious. My husband had the waffle and said it was great. as was my son's Denver omelette. Service was prompt and friendly. The diner had lots of seating, and was decorated to honor our military. Would definitely return.

Food was a very standard breakfast restaurant, though it did have very large portions. However, I was disappointed to find that they played the news during breakfast. A one sided political lecture is not how I prefer to start the day.

My favorite menudo stop when I'm on my way to the high desert. Breakfast plates always look so good, especially the waffles. Wait staff is always so nice and ready to serve you. I always stop at the Azusa spot, although I've eaten at the El Monte restaurant which is just as good. I'm always alone but I feel really comfortable eating here. Always a treat when I'm in the area.

Loved all the food we got, but it wasn't anything super special or unique from other places. I appreciate that service was efficient and everything tasted delicious.

First time eating at this place, delicious and fresh food. Highly recommend, the service was on point. Constantly providing us with fresh coffee, very attentive to us. A waitress recommended me Sausage and egg dish, thank you once again. You definitely have good taste. I didn't catch her name, but mentioned that she spoke Portuguese. Will be returning soon to try the menudo, heard great reviews from people eating there. The ambiance was also comforting, no loud music blasting while we enjoyed our visit. Thank you for making us feel welcomed and providing great service.

Food is okay... Service is okay ... Interior dacor is outdated... I probably would not come back. Next...

I decided to get French toast from a local coffee shop by my house. I called in the order and it was ready for pick up in 20 min. My order was ready for me when I got there and the workers are super nice and friendly. The inside is small but recently they a few years ago they expanded the restaurant. They have a bunch of pictures regarding the history of El Monte which is cool to look at. I've lived in El Monte since 1988 and this place was already here so it's a little gem of my city. The French toast was cooked perfectly and had great flavor. I got bacon and sausage which was good. Only minor issue is I wanted over med eggs and it was cooked a lil bit too long. I like my yolk runny it wasn't. Besides that everything is great. Obviously they are doing something right for their business to last this long lol.

One of my favorite breakfast spots. Friendly staff and they honor our military! I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for a good hearty breakfast and delicious coffee.

Becoming a regular for breakfast on the weekends... good pancakes great service with nice good people.. these are the places we all need to support. Hard working folks making good food at decent prices. The chicken fried steak was tender and huge.

Food is good and solid. Prices are reasonable and staff is quick and efficient. Now if we could only get them to make a good coffee we'd have a perfect spot.

I didn't take pictures of the food! But I ordered the French toast but I added strawberries! The waiters were friendly and had recommendations on what was most popular. The ambiance is very homey and has memorabilia. The French toast was very light and not too thick. It had the perfect amount of cinnamon. The coffee was hot and the added French vanilla creamer was perfect. It gives off very homey diner! The food came out quickly and I didn't have to wait very long. Would definitely come back!

Was nearby and stopped by for breakfast- bigger inside than it appears from the outside. Restaurant filled up quickly. Servers friendly. Wide menu varieties. Generous portions. Reasonably priced. Menudo was really good. All items we ordered were flavorful and was delicious. Would definitely return. Free parking.

The French toast was good as always. Water tastes nasty. Service was okay this time, not the usual waitress.

Love this place. Sign says they specialize in breakfast. Guess what. They do! Delicious breakfast food! My family loves their pancake breakfast, but I personally love their chorizo con papas! They serve it with rice and beans along with two eggs. My go to plate every time! Never disappoints.

Very good food !! Felt like old times when my grandma use to cook for me. Home-cooked fresh hot meals. I got the beef patty and eggs but substitute it for egg whites. It was so delicious I even tried my sisters polish sausage and it was good too, the best I've had at any restaurant. I will definitely be back here quite often. Also, everything was a plus because of the customer service too.!!

This place is like a moms place Good food big taste I had the pancakes and eggs mm! The best part of this place was the service We were treated so nice Andrew was our server very pleasant guy

Came here for a quick breakfast before racing at the Speedway, and what a gem of a place! Great diner food cooked fast, and great service. Always someone around ready to refill your coffee or water, and everyone is very friendly. Nice simple place that celebrates its local vets and first responders with all the patches and insignia on the walls; just a classic, hometown kinda place. 10/10 would stop in again when we head up that way!

Came in for breakfast and ended up with a great surprise. The food is delicious tasting and the coffee is to die for! Great guest service to go with it. This is a place where it feels like your Tia o grandma is cooking. Recommended 100%

We stumbled upon this coffee shop while we were around the El Monte area one morning. Seating was quick and orders arrived promptly. Food was good and service was acceptable. We ordered the French toast combo and Chorizo burrito with one coffee and my date just wanted water. The bill came really fast and we paid promptly with our credit card. The charged amount amount was higher than the check presented. I hope they don't do this to every restaurant patrons.

I read all kinds of good reviews so I had to stop. But right from the get there was a weird smell of sour meat. My hubs ordered pork chops and eggs, only to be greeted with tough shoe leather type meat. It grossed him out so bad he couldn't eat it. It was unseasoned and hard as a rock. I ordered corned beef hash, not too bad, but when the waitress brought my food she touched my toast with her hands to rearrange the way it looked on my plate. The same hands she settles the checks with at the cash register. Yuck! Needless to say, I won't be returning.
