About Beginners Diner

Located at 2223 El Cajon Blvd, San Diego, CA 92104, Beginners Diner operates as an american restaurant serving San Diego in California. This page gathers the practical details people usually look for before visiting: where it is, how to reach it, when it opens and how customers rate it.

For a place to eat or drink, the questions that matter most are simple: is it open now, how long is the wait at peak hours, and does the menu suit the group you are bringing. American restaurants typically run lunch and dinner services with a quieter stretch in between, coffee shops open early, and many kitchens close earlier on Sunday. Cards and tap-to-pay are accepted almost everywhere, a tip of 15-20% is customary for table service, and sales tax is added at the register.

Hours are published for 7 days a week. On most of those days it is open Open 24 hours. Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible. You can reach Beginners Diner at (619) 296-2101; calling is usually the quickest way to ask about availability, prices or directions. More information is available on its website, lafayettehotelsd.com.

I really enjoy having breakfast at this diner. Staff is really friendly and fast. Today they offered me to take my coffee to go. I like simple breakfast, scrambled eggs ham and hash browns. Coffee and water is served fast while you wait.

A really cool concept! I came here after the free Thursday night jazz performance at Lou Lou’s. The caesar salad was delicious although my fries arrived 10+ minutes after I got my salad. So a little bit inconsistent there! And seems that they have no more matchbooks…I had to ask since I’ve seen some online πŸ₯²

I grew up in San Diego, so I have visited the hotel many times over the years but have not seen it since this recent remodel. I think that they did a wonderful job with the redesign of the hotel and Beginners Diner as well. They also did a fantastic job with the Christmas decorations this year and really made an awesome space that you want to spend many hours in. We stopped in as a party of four on Sunday morning and were able to be seated after a 10 min wait. We had to sit outside, but it was really a nice location because it had great views of the pool and there was a nice breeze. Even in late December the weather in the morning is great in beautiful SD. Our server was very friendly and everything that we ordered came out very fast. The hotel offers valet otherwise it will be street parking. We were able to find a space directly across the street so it was a short walk. The menu is not very large, but it has a lot of great options on it. For my breakfast, I chose the Bacon Avocado Benedict and honestly loved it. I really appreciated how they crumbled the bacon which I thought was a unique touch and the smashed avocado was also a good combo instead of just avocado slices. The hol

Found this little dinner after visiting La Fayette hotel - we were seated in the counter so we got to enjoy the dinner experience. They had a number of vegetarian options, including breakfast tacos with soyrizo. It was delicious- had this crispy cheese bottom and flavorful green salsa! The food was reasonably priced and food had delicious and nicely presented. Will definitely be back.

We went to Beginners Diner for our friends 30th birthday party with a very large group! A good amount of us were genuinely surprised as to how good their breakfast menu was! I ended up getting Classic Eggs Your Way breakfast with some sausage and scrambled eggs! The sausage honestly was my favorite and was surprised it had some good flavor and wasn’t overly salty either. Eggs were good, a bit dry but not terrible! The hash browns were cooked great as well being perfectly crunchy and brown! I also did have to get their cinnamon roll! The waitress had highly recommended the cinnamon roll to be a restaurant favorite, and it turned out to be the tables favorite as well! It was perfectly moist, creamy, and not overly doughy either. Each bite had the perfect amount of icing as well. I was very impressed as I would not typically expect this from a restaurant in a hotel. One thing that lacked was the pancakes. Few friends ordered the Buckwheat pancakes, and man. Those were not good at all. Lacked flavor and just tasted very gritty, like sand paper. Would not recommend and 3 people had ordered this which was a bummer. Breakfast Sando was pretty good! Had good crunch and good flavor! The has
