    Rice, refried beans and cheese.

    My food was delicious. The chips and salsa were fresh and tasty. My main course was sizzling steak fajitas and it was so flavorful. Our server was attentive. It was a nice setting at a table for four and since it was just the two of us, we had plenty of room for everything.

    Okay, we were driving by Oakdale, and see a 4.6 star joint with over 400 reviews. It must be legit. We had to stop by. Initially we weren't too excited that it was Latin food, not because we don't like it but after a long drive none of us were in the mood for taking risks. Other than the guac not being absolutely fresh (still fresh though), the food turned out to be awesome, given the location and price point. The fish taco with battered cod was perhaps one of the best I've had. It almost came out like a Mexican salad with plenty of onions, lettuce on a bed of rice. But lifted with tortillas, it was again fascinating. The steak was juicy but you shouldn't expect steakhouse steak here. And the pasta was also solid for the kids. Also, the gentleman who served us was super friendly. We initally felt like we were being stood up but once he found us, everything was wonderful. Oakdale is a city/town you drive by a lot on your way to Yosemite. And when doing so, I highly recommend stopping by at Cafe Bravo. You'd be pleasantly surprised at the caliber of Latin comfort food they serve.

    Chicken pesto quesadilla

    Excellent customer service. Very good food. Pictured are the chicken pesto quesadilla and chimichanga. We travel almost an hour each way to frequent Cafe Bravo! The chips and salsa are delicious. They have a bar, tables and chairs and booths. Great for a date night. Good location and lots of free parking.

    Chicken burrito

    What an amazing lunch. Came in today not knowing what to expect. Ordered a chicken wet burrito. WOW! Huge portions love it. Service was great as well. Second I entered the restaurant I was greeted with a smile and right to a seat. Restaurant has a nice Latin atmosphere with music and dim lighting. Definitely a must try.

    Tacos, queso, and build your own.

    Finally made it to Café Bravo after hearing about it for what feels like forever and I'm so glad we did! We stopped by as soon as they opened, and that place filled up fast for lunch!! The food was amazing, drinks were on point, and the whole vibe was warm, welcoming and charming . Our server was awesome too. Great little spot that totally lived up to the hype after all these years!!

    Combo taco and relleno / red sauce was good rice was excellent

    Good place. Mexican fusion type cuisine. Service is good. Room is loud regardless of where you sit. Food is interesting. Good appetizers, great flavor across the entrees, high quality ingredients, excellent salsa. Have had several items here, all are good. Price is a bit high, but portions are generous and you don't feel like you got robbed.

    Disgusting

    It's alright. They try to be a little too creative with their menu. But it's a good atmosphere.

While the inside is stunning, we chose to sit outside on the porch and enjoy the nice weather. Our sever was very friendly. Our cocktails were delicious, I had the coconut mojito which was very creamy. We shared a few dishes, and I especially liked the yuca fries which weren't on the brunch menu but they were nice enough to make them. It took them a long time to come out though. I felt the ceviche had too much lime and too many corn nuts, it's not the best I've had. I wasn't expecting the cob to still be on the corn ribs, they had to be picked up and were a little messy to eat, but delicious. For dessert we had the churros with sauces, and the sorbet trio, and both complimented each other nicely. The churros were tasty, I was wishing the portion was a little more since we were sharing. I'd go back again for dinner and sit inside and try a main dish, or sit at the bar. The inside interior design is beautiful. Clayton is a nice weekend destination with very easy parking. After brunch you can visit the art gallery next door, and have a stroll around town.

I am a teacher at a school near by and stopped here for dinner before back to school night. I have always wanted to try Picahna and MAN it didn't disappoint.

Pair that with the house hot sauce and it was simply superb. It didn't stop at the steak, as I said the entire plate was delicious. The rice was well seasoned, the beans were perfectly smokey and the salad was crisp and fresh. On top of the food, the service could not have been friendlier and comforting. I felt very well taken care of and it made the experience that more enjoyable. I will def be back when I have another late night at work and need dinner away from my family in Monterey:

Comes with the breaded yucca crumbs which provides little extra crunch. Food tasted fresh. Comes with a bean stew which we tried but not huge fan of.
