My husband and I visited for the first time for Valentine's Day and I have to say everything was absolutely exceptional. The service was beyond great, there was always someone checking on you, filling up your drinks and chips, and the server was attentive but not over the top. The food however was the best part. We started with the egg rolls which are to die for and then I had the pollo fundido which was better then I ever expected. The chipotle sauce was great! Overall a very great experience. We will be back. read more

We came for the fajitas but will come back because of the service. Our server Whitney was amazing. She went above and beyond for us and made our whole experience wonderful. read more

Seriously frustrated. We booked the private room for the day after my best friends wedding brunch with around 30 people. We waited a good 20 mins after we arrived before ordering to make sure everyone was ready. Group A ordered. Group B ordered. Group C ordered. Group A got their food first. Group C got their food AFTER group A was done eating. Group B got their food AFTER BOTH groups were done. Now here is the most frustrating part: the bride and groom are in group B. And the only children are in group B. At any other restaurant would make damn sure a child's food is brought out first and foremost. Seriously one egg and one piece of bacon. This is ridiculous and I'm extremely disappointed in the service we received today. read more

Lets keep this simple....What a plus that they serve both Mexican and American food! Its ALWAYS so good and on point! Very consistent and quick for pick up! read more

We moved to Oakdale recently and Cafe Bravo was highly recommended. Two of our teenage grandchildren are here visiting so we thought it was a good time to try it out. We were immediately seated, chips and salsa delivered and drink order taken. We needed a few minutes to check out the menu bc it offered a lot of great items. My husband ordered the carne asada burrito with red sauce. It was delivered with green sauce but our waiter immediately had it corrected. I ordered the garlic prawns with rice and black beans. Grandson ordered the chicken Milanese and granddaughter chose the Caesar salad with shrimp. Our margaritas were delicious and pretty, too. Additional warm chips came along in a timely fashion. The service was spot on. We think we have found a new favorite place to dine. read more

I've been here a few times and the food has always been delicious!! It's a bit pricey, but you will definitely enjoy your plate. Service has always been good as well...will be back :) read more

Seafood Enchiladas are a must. Perfect lunch spot on a Friday with friends! Caliente shot

Excellent food and service. The place is nice inside. The portions are large. It is kind of expensive but you can make 2 meals out of one burrito. read more

Very fresh and flavorful dishes. The salsa was one of the best I've had. I ordered the chicken vegetable burrito and it was way too much for me to eat. Took half home. It was excellent! Definitely will come back when I'm driving through Oakdale. read more

We had the pleasure of joining friends for dinner and drinks this past Friday at Cafe Bravo for the first time. While the place was busy, we felt well attended to by the staff and absolutely enjoyed our meal. The food was delivered to our table swiftly and was delicious. We plan to return soon, in order to explore the unique menu further. read more

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

Let's just say there Mexican food is smacking whenever I'm blazing it and I need a good burrito I head over to cafe bravo they know whatsup

Our favorite spot for date night or a family dinner. Great consistent service and food is always amazing! Thank you Cafe Bravo!!!! read more

The food is delicious the atmosphere is kind've more like a bar and less like a restaurant the service there is Mediocre and the overall cost its kind of high definitely good for a date night but don't bring the kids and the whole family you'll have to take a second mortgage out on your house. read more

This place is a joke they serve overpriced food and one of their customers left their bar drunk and hit my car

The food was amazing. The staff was so friendly and attentive. I literally could not be happier with our Friday night dinner.

Very good food! It's not Mexican food. It's Latin food with a twist. One of our favorites!

The coconut shrimp appetizer w/spicy dipping sauce it was to die for .... love it !! The Mexicali Shrimp Caesar salad was flavorful, shrimp cooked perfectly the salad was way over dressed!! but the dressing was tasty next time I'd order it on the side. The Tacos al Carbon the steak was tender & seasoned well, but the corn tortillas were soggy & tasted uncooked yuk !! I just eat the meat which was yummy. The Salsa is the BEST I've had loved, loved it !!! read more

Absolutely love the staff and the food. Great atmosphere. Have outdoor seating if that's what you prefer. Very clean. 100% recommend!!!

really expensive watch out for the drunks food mediocre I wouldn't go back aggressive serve staff and they always hurry you out before you finish your meal won't go back read more

Went here last night on the way home from Yosemite - Wow! I was impressed by the menu - this is not just Mexican food - it is a variety of Latin flavors! I had the Yucatan Pork Salad and it was fantastic. The pork had a slightly sweet flavor similar to BBQ sauce and was fork tender. The dressing on the salad had hints of avocado and cilantro with a little spice. I could have lived with out the fried shell it was served in. My daughter had the chili verde, the verde sauce was wonderful and the rice and beans were a good accompaniment. Her beau had the chili colorado - meh, ok but not nearly as fabulous as the other two dishes! The service was prompt and friendly, they kept my water glass full (needed after a days hiking) and made sure I was happy with my special order drink. The atmosphere was casual and fun with brightly colored table tops and everything was very clean. read more

Food is not as authentic as one might think. They like to put their own twist. I would give them a better rating but the food it's tooo salty for my taste to the point I can't finish it all. read more

First time going here. There was no Waite time. Tables were spaces out. Our waitress was amazing! Super friendly got out food out in a timely manner. Food was great. I will definitely recommend trying this place out. There was something to choose from the menu for everyone. I will definitely be going back. read more

Cafe Bravo is still amazing me. I had the Volcano which is Chicken, steak and shrimp cooked in a tasty sauce of fresh tomatillos and veggies, topped with cheese, served on a sizzling rock bowl. Then they give you a plate with lettuce, pico de gallo, cheese, guacamole, sour cream, refried beans, and rice to add to your tortillas for taco's. Everything was amazing!I had a Michelada with Modelo and it was yummy! I ended up taking home my leftovers and they were still yummy. I absolutely LOVE all the food at Cafe Bravo and love bringing friends here and watching them in awe as they eat. YAY Cafe Bravo! read more

The Cafe Bravo is a hidden gem in Oakdale CA. Whether you visit their little bar for a great margarita and assorted beers in frosted mugs, or dine at the bar or be seated for dinner, the food is never disappointing. The staff is always cheerful and super efficient. I hardly ever write reviews of restaurants, but since my daughter and I have been customers for over three years its way overdue. Thanks, and a big shout out to our favorite servers Grace and Angelina. read more

Amazing food and service every time! Went last night. They moved seating outside to the parking lot. It was so well done! Coldest beer too! Candied pineapple chicken is my favorite! But everything is amazing! read more

I like this place quite a bit. Call in your order for pickup or dine in. The servers are friendly and attentive. It can get filled up is the only draw back because it's not a huge restaurant but I've never waited to long. read more

This place is awesome. It's in a strip mall, which is not usually a good sign. However, its actually quite a fabulous little set up they have there. The food was delicious. Carne Asada, fish tacos, and the volcano were all amazing! The kids did not like their burritos, but they're picky always. :-) I would recommend this place for some good Mexican food and a beer. read more

I'm a local TV news reporter. This review is for both the food, and especially the customer service. My photographer and I ordered a burrito and the shrimp salad. Both delicious and well done. What really touched me to write this review, is the owner, or perhaps the manager, came out to our news van and asked if he could offer us something to drink. My photographer and I had just come off of covering a very difficult story, so his kind gesture truly touched us. I offered to pay for the soda, but the owner said it was on the house. If you're looking for a local business run by people who truly care about the community, dine here! read more

Me and my sister were driving through Oakdale we stopped at cafe bravo I ordered for both of us and wow did not disappoint my sister we had the volcano plenty of food I recommend one serving for two people also had a margarita and beer the waiter was very helpful. read more

We were at our favorite cheese store in Oakdale picking up the best Gouda ever and decided to find a local lunch place nearby. We found Cafe Bravo on the restaurant search from my phone and saw the great reviews and wanted to check it out. Glad we did!! My combo plate was the perfect proportion and i was able to finish it off. The Chile Relleno had just the right amount of cheese and sauce and tasted great! The chicken in my enchilada was seasoned well too. My husband ordered the vegetarian burrito and it was super delicious! If I had to go vegetarian and eat this daily I wouldn't mind at all! Service was very attentive and sweet! Great food and the music was the best playlist!! Thanks for the 80's flashback read more

I've been coming here for years and the Latin food has always been tasty, Flavourful and authentic . I decided to try a steak special and I was very disappointed, I ordered medium rare and got it well done. And the quality of the meat was not what I'd expect from Cafe Bravo. You did give me a credit towards the meat and I'm truly thankful for that and your amazing staff. read more

Great food and even better margaritas. Very friendly service. Reasonable pricing. Thanks

I stopped here for take out on my way home from knights ferry and ordered a veggie burrito. I wish I had taken a picture, maybe next time. However, it was one of the best burritos I have had from a restaurant in a long time. Filled with rice, beans, and fresh veggies. Topped sliced avocados. The side chips and homemade salsa was a wonderful addition. Next time I'm in Oakdale I will come back for sure. read more

The service is always exemplary! No matter what I order , everything is delicious!! My favorite is the Costa Rican Salad, delicious! read more
