He’s food came out before the latte I ordered. Not much on the menu to choose from. Allergy to food but they can’t remove items or replace any thing for you to eat. Had to sit here to eat my danish without the latte.
Second time being there and I got to say I won’t be going again. Food was delicious the first time a few years back and decided to go back but this time the service wasn’t so great or the food. I checked in and was told my wait time would be an hour to an hour and twenty minutes… Two hours later and they finally call us. Also paid parking for two hours and then had to pay an additional two hours because they took forever to call us. Then the plates on display show things on them that aren’t included and an extra charge. Why have them on display and the names of the plates if that’s not what it really comes with. I had got coffee and not once did any waitress come up to the table to see if we needed anything else. When we were done eating the kids had left overs and a waitress came over to our table trying to take the plates so they could start cleaning for the next set of people. I asked for boxes and she never came back so about five minutes later I get up to go ask for boxes myself. I know I wasn’t the only one complaining today and just feel like this place and there service went down. Too many people hype this place up and it’s not the same anymore.
Chiliquiles are my absolute favorite dish! I had been taking an afternoon walk when I came upon this delightful restaurant. This was my first time here!
Do not be put off when you go inside to order because seeing all the various dishes was in a word, Wow!
I opted for the Chile relleno with a side of refried beans - it was like being in my grandmother's kitchen. The avacado was super fresh too. I forgot to order a side of tortillas (which I always dunk in my beans), but the waitress was really helpful. I think she was shocked at the tip I gave her.
I am on a mini vacation, and there is no price for good service; excellent food and a calm atmosphere to eat in. I ate outside on the sidewalk mini patio. This was first experience doing this too.
My Spanish is limited - the staffs is not, let them make you feel at home.
Me hiciste sentir como en casa. Me hiciste sentir como en casa.

If you've been craving chilaquiles please do yourself a favor and take the drive to this place!!! The food is so good!!! No complaints here and we've been to this place several times. Plenty of choices/toppings etc. Nice atmosphere and yummy choices in drinks and other goodies to try.
Great breeze if you can get a seat outside! Very cute place. They have a few parking spots right in front, and metered spots along the street
One big thing to note right off the bat, this is a order from a QR menu restaurant, not from the servers. Regretfully because there were 2 of us, paying separately, this had a couple hiccups when ordering. He's food came out very quick, mine took significantly longer -he was done before I had even gotten mine. Several tables that were seated and ordered after me were severed before me, we ask 2 different waitresses on the status and were told it was coming.
I tried his Bomba Chilaquiles and the meat was VERY good, a lot of flavor, very tender, a really good helping of it too! The sauce was a nice spicy green creama with good flavor as well.
I had ordered the red sauce regular chilaquiles, was given the green which was also loaded with onions, as time was runningshort i just kept it...the sauce was ok, nothing to really write home about. The chips where crispy even covered in sauce, which was awesome and the avocado was fresh and perfectly ripe. The refried bean were surprisingly quite watery but had an ok flavor. The eggs and French toast were good.
I think I might give them another try, getting what my friend had ordered and keeping everything on one bill.

Second time here - and it didn’t disappoint. Excellent food. High quality delicious Mexican brunch. Don’t skip on the chilaquiles.
Great food! Very generous portions, friendly staff, prompt service. I had French toast with bacon and 2 beautiful over easy eggs (that I had already eaten before I remembered to take a picture! 🙃) Hubby had Chilaquilas Rancheros, we both cleaned our plates 😋
Incredible food, a couple kid friendly plates, inside and outside seating, gender neutral restrooms.
Even though it was a Sunday morning, we were seated pretty quickly because we were willing to seat outside. As you enter. There's a lovely display of available options and you can just pick visually. I got la Bamba because I actually don't like eggs. My son got El patron, my daughter got the small kids plate. They both had the hot chocolate. They were sadly out of marshmallows that they usually use to top it with today. I got the cafe de olla.
The food was made really quickly and you can see behind the counter as you're ordering everybody working. The staff was very kind and no one rushed me. They have two bathrooms and both have changing stations. The outside has cover in case of rain or heat.
The food was phenomenal. Bright flavors and already had a little heat on it. I'm actually drooling thinking of it. The fruit was fresh looking for my kids and if it wasn't spicy enough they had a beautiful looking hot sauce on the table but I was too busy shoveling food in my face. I've been going here for a couple years and can't recommend this place enough.
