Red Ocotillo

They let you choose your own seating and dont make a fuss if you move. I enjoyed the bar seating. There was a smell though. If i looked close enough, i could tell there was bug debris amoung the lights and amoung cracks and edges. Place needs to be cleaned more often. Food was good. They made my burger medium. It tasted great. It was paired with fries and pickle. And i was served alot of icecold water. Summer sun was beating me after a ride in the desert. The place had alot of charm. An airconditioned place within the desert. Its a good place to stop and rest. The service was not bad at all. It was quick and prompt. I wish they could have put the volume up as i couldnt hear the the TCM movie.

Quaint little oasis with fresh and high quality food for all times of the day. Being our first time in Borrego Springs, we were suprised by the food options in this little town. Summer is the off season, but there is still a good handful of choices to eat. We chose the Red Ocotillo after finding out what the ocotillo actually is. It's the plant that grows in abundance in this area and it's pretty cool looking. We stopped in for breakfast. This place is charming and quiet. There seemed to be one waitress working at the time and she was hustling all over that place. She was fantastic. There seems to be a separate menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner here. For breakfast we ordered for the four of us pancakes, a breakfast plate with eggs, sausage and toast, biscuits and gravy (I'm still trying to find one that lives up to my standards after growing up in Oklahoma) a breakfast burrito and huevos rancheros. The food is fresh, made homemade and comes out piping hot. This place is truly a gem. I don't care the price, because for this quality of food and to have the pretty views of the desert; priceless. My biscuits and gravy were flavorful and pretty close to what I had growing up, the pancakes were fluffy and delicious, burrito was well balanced and savory and my huevos rancheros were light but flavorful with killer salsa. Honestly, everything was really good and we probably will end up back there for dinner. The homemade potatoes were also probably the best I've ever had. I don't think you'll find ultra trendy foods or techniques used here, but the food is anything but stale and flavorless. It's almost like the comfort of eating at a diner, but minus the greasy and low quality food. I really enjoyed our breakfast and I'm sure we'll be back. Also, after having our battery die in the parking lot, the staff helped us jump our car and get back on the road. Thanks to the Red Ocotillo for the great food and hospitality we were shown and for our first visit to Borrego Springs, the staff and food will definitely make us want to return. Until next time.
