I been hearing good things about this place so I decided to have my birthday breakfast here with my kids at 7:30am and the environment is very quiet and welcoming. Our server was super friendly and attentive and we are so glad she not only offered us regular coffee but also cafe de la olla which I wanted to try and it’s sooooo good! And their food is amazing !! I definitely recommend this place.
Very friendly staff, quick to get me seated, quick to bring the food, and they kept my coffee topped off. I can see why the locals o was chatting with said they come here regularly. It was an all around wonderful experience!
It's a local cafe serves good old American breakfast plus lots of Mexican food on the menu. Down to earth friendly staff and affordable Senior menu.
We were passing through town and were lucky enough to visit this cafe along the way for breakfast. The service was incredible and the server was lovely 💕. She was more than happy to accommodate our requests and answer our questions. Another server also attended us, and he was very friendly and attentive too, what a cool guy 😎. The food was amazing and the coffee was excellent, we were impressed with how they had cooked our steaks and the waffles were delicious. I would’ve loved to have more waffles, but another party member quickly gobbled them all up! I Couldn’t recommend this place enough for a fantastic meal and great service. Thanks again, would be more than happy to return again 🙂
Chill place. Clean and amazing food! Wait time for food does not take long. Very attentive and pleasant staff. Definitely need to try this place out if you haven’t. The carne asada chilaquiles is so good!
