A GEM IN SAN PEDRO
If you like watching the "food network" like me. this diner was featured on a show called Diners, Drive-ins and Dives hosted by Guy Fieri.
Boasting "Best home cooking in the harbor", Gaffey Street Diner really does home cooking. They make their own everything, nothing much coming out of a can, from salsa, green beans, home fries, and chorizo.
That's right, folks. Home made chorizo made fresh daily!
We drooled excessively during the section and being only a few bridges away, we finally went over to check it out.
And boy oh boy was it good!!
The Diner isn't hard to find but you can surely missed it if you're not paying attention. Coming off of the Vincent Thomas bridge, you take a left at Gaffey. Now, get over to your right. A few streets down, you'll spot their mural. Can't miss it if you're looking for it. Inside the diner is nothing spectacular. Just clean and spacious diner with vinyl seated booths. All locals in there, it looks like. A good sign, indeed!
Knowing about the fresh chorizo, I went for it. I ordered the mushroom, spinach, and jack cheese omelette. WOW it was the size of rhode island. my mum ordered a side of biscuits with country gravy and eggs benedict. WOW the slice ham was quarter of an inch thick.
Did I mention that the portions are huge? And it's cheap? They do charge $1.50 for split plate though. Rightfully so. I mean, the portions are HUGE!
The chorizo was flavorful. It has just enough spices to keep you eating. (And better yet, unlike chorizo at some other place, it didn't do a number on my stomach!) The best part? It didn't have a pool of grease anywhere.
The home fries was just out of this world good! Delicious enough on its own, I would have ordered the home fries with bacon and be done with it. I mean, the best home fries I had around this part of town. Tasty, crispy at parts and tender the rest.
i would love to come back to try the gaffey street diner special, chorizo and cheese omelette the size of Rhode Island. this place was a wonderful experience. it is open 5am - 3pm
*********2ND VISIT 3/30/08**********
i came back here with my mum, my best friend, lees; tracy(TRE69) and her mum. my mum has been dying to try their house special "french toast supreme" with stawberries, bananas, blueberries, blackberries and whip cream.
tracy ordered an awesome side of blueberry pancakes it was a size of a plate.
we also took pics with the one of the owners. she cut her hair since the show aired.
