Poached Neighborhood Kitchen - Irvine

This is an order/pay upfront, get a number, and choose a table type joint and the food is amazing!! Everything was cooked as we ordered! The salsa for the chilaquiles was smokey and delicious! My mom has strict dietary restrictions and this menu was able to accommodate that easily!!! We will definitely be coming back!!

I don't get it, this place serves only breakfast and it usually has a long line. It is priced in the mid teen, and overall, food is just... meh. I order a house benedicts and the English Muffin was tough! However, the Chicken Waffle is very good. The chicken is moist on the inside while it is crispy on the outside. So, come here and wait in line for the Chicken Waffle, the rest you can get it at Denny's.

If you ever come to this place, you need to get the Chilaquiles Verde. When my girlfriend asked what it was, I told her that it's basically a breakfast nacho. How can you go wrong with a breakfast nacho? It was definitely the highlight of our brunch. We also got the Baked Apple Cakes. The first couple bites were AMAZING, but after a while, my taste buds needed a break from the intense flavors so I had to go back to the Chilaquiles. We got there around 11am, and while theline to get in looked long, it moved pretty quickly so we were seated by about 11:30am. We also decided to sit outside and enjoy the breeze and we were kept warm by the many heat lamps they had. Hopefully I'll be back to try out the restof their menu, which I'm sure is just as delicious as the food we tried.

This place is always so busy but my family I always order for pick up anyway which has always been more efficient for us. If you don’t mind waiting in line to eat in, then by all means go for it. My family I always order their chilaquiles rojas with the eggs sunny side up it has always been consistent with the flavors how it’s cooked. We also tried their French toast which was so good! It really satisfies my sweet tooth without being overly sweet. On my most recent visit, I also ordered their iced dulce de leche latte with oat milk it was a good amount of sweetness coffee flavor in my personal opinion. The staff have always been nice professional with every visit. My family I will continue to be regulars as long as they keep up the great customer service quality of food.

Come early on the weekends or you'll be waiting for a seat. Staff is awesome, they have a great balance of personal attention and knowledge of their food. The menu is a mixture of Hispanic flavors and classic breakfast dishes, I've had the classic Benedict and the chilaquiles and enjoyed both (their hash browns are a little different from other places but just as delicious). If you are in Irvine I'd highly recommend coming here for breakfast.
