"So I want to start off with that I'm 99% sure that this restaurant has officially renamed itself Dockside 1953 recently. It was just called Cafe Bahia when I was there two months ago. Anywho, this was my last full day of vacation in San Diego. I was preparing to go to Sea World, so I stopped by this place for an allegedly amazing breakfast. The atmosphere was nice. Faux swank that you'd find in a restaurant nestled inside of a hotel you would never pay that much money to stay at. It's a simple menu, but everything on it sounds really good. The friendly serving staff was quick to make recommendations, which I always like. I ended up ordering the Chilaquiles (Fried Corn Tortillas, Ancho Chile Tomato Sauce, Refried Beans, Cilantro, Pickled Onion, Avocado, Queso Fresco, Two Eggs Any Style). I ordered my eggs scrambled. And oh my goodness this was a good dish. The corn chips were so thick and crispy and not oily at all. They held up nicely to the rest of the gooey stuff on the plate. Between the well-queso'd beans and the well-scrambled eggs and the whole half of an avocado, these breakfast nachos were very satisfying. I also ordered side of the crispy potatoes. They were good. Nothing mind blowing, but they did the job I wanted them to. I also got the chance to taste their giant French toast, which was absolutely fine. For how big and fluffy the pieces of bread were, they needed moisture, and while there was syrup available, I really would have preferred more of the strawberry variety they drizzled on the plate. Overall, I was not disappointed. If you end up coming here, you will also not be disappointed. Especially if you're going to Sea World right afterwards. It was so close. Such a short drive."
