Mary's Family Restaurant
Located along the picturesque North Coast Highway in Oceanside, CA, Mary's Family Restaurant is more than just a dining spot – it’s a cherished community hub that captures the soul of American comfort food. This quaint establishment takes you back in time, enveloping you with a warmth reminiscent of family gatherings and home-cooked meals.
The menu is a delightful testament to American cuisine with a flavorful twist from south of the border. Start your day right with the South of the Border Breakfast, featuring the Machaca con Huevos – seasoned shredded beef scrambled with fluffy eggs, ripe tomatoes, onions, and accompanied by refried beans or potatoes, all embraced by your choice of warm tortillas or buttery toast. Another standout is the Huevos Rancheros. This dish showcases perfectly cooked over-easy eggs resting on a crispy corn tortilla, drizzled with a rich, bold ranchero sauce, delivering layers of taste that dance on your palate.
For those who prefer a more eclectic morning fare, the Breakfast Burrito Supreme is a must-try at just $10.50, stuffed to perfection and grand enough to satisfy even the heartiest appetites. Whether you opt for the zesty Chorizo Burrito or the fresh Garden Burrito, each bite promises a flavor journey that will leave you smiling.
If your cravings lean toward something crispy, make sure to explore the offerings from the fryer. The Fish & Chips come with golden-brown fries, while the Buffalo Wings make for an irresistible finger food treat, perfect for sharing – or not! And don't overlook the Fried Chicken Basket, which is genuinely a crowd pleaser, boasting juicy chicken paired beautifully with fragrant fries.
Reviews from customers echo the warmth of this hidden gem. Lauren Fumagalli Getz described it as 'hands down the best place to get breakfast!' praising not only the delicious food but the convivial atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. Nathan Wilder invites you to step back in time when he shares his experience, highlighting the laid-back vibe of the restaurant and the 'generous portions of quality yumminess.' Even Crystal Green raves about the moist waffles that are perfectly enhanced by a dusting of powdered sugar, making them a sweet indulgence you won’t want to miss.
