El Borrego Restaurant Caterer, Outdoor Venue , outdoor patio

I celebrated my birthday with 20 friends on the patio of El Borrego today and it was such a wonderful experience! I'm so grateful to Rodnia, the owner, and her staff, for being so attentive and handling it all so well.
They sectioned off half of the outdoor patio and set it up with beautiful decor, as well as umbrellas for shade and a big fan as it was 80 degrees out.
At the bar, guests could choose from house made Horchata, Agua de Jamaica, beer and Sangria.
I heard so many compliments about the venue and especially on the food! We served a self-serve buffet of Cochinita Pibil and Lamb Barbacoa with tortillas, guacamole and garnishes, plus quesadillas made with squash blossoms and rajas that they brought out hot as they were ready.
The whole afternoon felt easy and relaxed and I got to enjoy spending time with friends rather than being stressed about hosting.
The mellow music they played set a nice atmosphere for a Sunday afternoon.
This restaurant is such a neighborhood gem! If you're looking for a space to accommodate a crowd and excellent food and service, I highly recommend El Borrego!

No dogs allowed. They have a very nice outdoor patio but they had a recent incident where a dog bit a child and now no dogs are allowed.
Very bummed because we had brought our dog and ended up ordering take out. Parking is not that easy here.
No lot, it’s all street and there’s construction going on and lots of red curb. It’s one of those places where you order first then seat yourself. We got chilaquiles with green sauce ($10.99), added chicken ($4.25) and 1 egg (1.99).
Also got huevos rancheros ($11.99).
It was two over easy eggs over corn tortilla with 2 extra corn tortilla, rice and beans. I am not impressed with the home made chips.
It’s not an airy crispy that I like, it has a dry hard crunch and it gets soggy in the sauce.
However, their sauce is good.
Thumbs down on the small portion and price. The huevos rancheros is meh.
Over easy egg was more like well done.
No yolk oozed out. Overall, food was average to my liking.
Service and atmosphere was exceptional.

I paid $20 for half a plate of chilaquiles and half a plate of beans.
I was charged extra for protein, no problem but I don’t think I even got 2oz of protein (pictured).
I was also charge $3.99 for this half container of chilaquiles sauce. I asked them about $3.99 charge for half a container of chilaquiles sauce and they said they don’t do charity work and cannot give anything away.
I laughed because it was a great joke but I will never go back.
They have zero regard for customers.
I was trying to support a small business but $20 for half a plate of fried tortillas with green sauce is excessive.
Protein was thrown out as it seemed chewy and lacked salt.
