"🍽️ Restaurant Review The overall experience was excellent, characterized by a pleasant atmosphere and exceptionally prompt service. 🌟 Ambiance & Service * Atmosphere: The vibe was great. The music selection was enjoyable, and the restaurant was comfortably busy—not overly packed. * Service Speed: I was seated immediately, and the service was genuinely outstanding. The staff was incredibly attentive; I received my requests within literally 30 seconds. This level of efficiency, while warranting a generous tip, significantly enhanced the dining experience. ☕ Drinks & Appetizers * Cinnamon Coffee: A highly recommended start! It was very good, featuring noticeable and pleasant hints of cinnamon. * Onion Rings: A definite 10 out of 10. They were fantastic both plain and, even better, when paired with the ranch dressing. * Specialty Salsa: This sauce, which we asked for on the side, was super delicious and packed with flavor. While it had a slight kick (a bit spicy for my personal taste), it was excellent overall. It truly elevated the burger. 🍳 Main Dishes Eggs Benedict This dish was quite good overall, though a couple of preparation issues were noted: * Taste: Very good, particularly the hollandaise sauce, which was nicely seasoned. * Hash Browns: Nice and crispy. They needed just a touch more salt when eaten plain but were perfect with a side of ketchup. * Poached Egg: The yolk was runny, which is ideal, but the egg preparation was flawed. I observed some water leakage, and parts of the egg white were undercooked, suggesting the egg was taken out of the water too soon. * Plating: The presentation was a bit bland. Adding a simple garnish, like chives over the hollandaise sauce, would significantly improve its visual appeal. House Special Burger A very enjoyable main course: * Flavor & Texture: The burger had very good flavor and was wonderfully juicy. * Minor Note: The only element missing was an onion, which would have completed the profile. * Serving Suggestion: Pairing this burger with the flavorful specialty salsa made it absolutely excellent. In summary, despite minor issues with the poached egg and plating, the quick service, excellent atmosphere, and high-quality items like the Onion Rings and House Special Burger make this restaurant highly recommendable."

"Pleasant shop in a large commercial zone, plenty of parking. Family oriented, friendly knowledgeable staff. Fast service. Decent food at decent prices. Coffee options: regular, decaf, or cinnamon. My wife loved the cinnamon. Simple 4 tops with vinyl table 'cloths.' Clean, yet busy."

"Pleasantly surprised for our first visit. Perfect for hubby and I. Just looking for place to eat and saw how crowded it was and thought, “must be good”. Ariana’s did not disappoint. Very attentive service. Food good."

"Very good! The red chilaquiles, I dare say are the best I've tried in Monterey County and would easily put them up to comparison with the ones I tried in Mexico. I also had the chorizo omelet and the ratio of eggs to ingredients was perfect. My only complain is cut the bell peppers thinner. The canela coffee was amazing. I can't speak about the other food in the menu."

"Friendly service. Food was delish. We ordered chili Verde breakfast plate that came with homemade corn tortillas. Also ordered chili relleno on the side. Served covered in a delicious sauce. 😋 also had chilaquiles in red chili. Will definitely be back for more!"
