Cafe Fresco is a small popular mexican brunch spot. I noticed a lot of officer workers in the area frequent the location during their lunch break. Their food is reasonably priced and I feel like their menu has a lot of options. As you can assume, aside from breakfast options like breakfast burritos or omeletes, they have regular burritos. I got the fish burrito. I have to say, while it was falling apart in my hands, I thought it was so delicious. It was essentially breaded white fish with black beans and cole slaw (-ish) mixture. They also have a number of smoothies and pastries to try. While the cafe appears to say "Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner," they close at 4 PM - so it'll have to be an extra early dinner if you plan to visit. Definitely recommend - I would say it's the best option in that strip mall. read more

Cafe Fresco - Fish Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Such a wide variety of choices to order from! Anything breakfast related can be found here. The eggs are cooked freshly & are so so tasty. The atmosphere feels comforting in the midst of the chaos of LA. They have a range of coffees but I just go with the house coffee. A classic drip coffee that comes with a side of milk & sugar of your liking. The reason for docking one star is because this cafe is quite pricey, especially considering the portions. If you are ordering any food items, be prepared to pay above 20 dollars. Classic + Relaxed spot. read more

I like my coffee like I like my ex-gf: hot, light and bitter. Haha. Let's begin this cafe review. Cafe Fresco is a low-key corner breakfast cafe on Wilshire blvd in Centra LA. They offer a wide variety of coffee, tea, juices and smoothies. Moreover, they have compendious food/pastry menu items. It was my first time here, by chance while driving along the blvd. I came to grab a hot Latte. And it was delightful. Staff were nice and competent. Atmosphere was really vibrant as well as its interior decor. Its indoor was spacious and plenty of natural light. Prices were slightly above the market but matched the quality and service. Parking lot is spacious with plenty of car ports. I like that it's centrally located with great street view. Collectively, this is a nice cafe breakfast spot. Overall, I had a good random cafe adventure at Cafe Fresco. I recommend you visit. Trust me! read more

Love this place delicious food. Unfortunately I have to give a bad review for the service. I go and eat there a lot never had an issue before May. I went on a month ago and the server forgot about us and left us outside in the patio. Had to come back and ask for a table again. Today they help the guy behind me first even though I came in before him I literally had to get up from my seat to ask for some jalapeño and she took a bit too bring them. I ordered a hot Americano coffee and Pellegrino no glass no cream. Not once did they come to ask me if I needed anything. I had to get up to ask for the cream and a glass. I asked for a to go cup for My hit Americanized coffee and she forgot and the remember and brought me a plastic cup. Very disappointing because I really like this place. read more

This is my second time visiting this charming little establishment and it did not disappoint. I live in OC and it's worth the drive for the delicious Ecuadorian bolones and pastries.

First timer, first impressions: Cozy,dim lights, nice for two or four otherwise it would be too cramped. I ordered the Cuban panini, sweet and savory Cubano, with a cheeky pineapple catching my pallet off guard. Well played. The fries could have been crispier, very disappointing in comparison to the cubano. The Guanavana agua fresca was a nice chaser from sandwich. Friendly staff and clean bathroom ( not the most aesthetically pleasing) but clean. read more

I've come here a couple of times for lunch with co workers and the food is not bad, but not spectacular. I do like that they have a wide range of different options of food items and I like the cozy European cafe vibe. As far as how the food tastes, so far I haven't tasted anything I would rave about. But it does the trick for lunch. I had the club sandwich with fries once (7.5/10) and the other time I had the Wild West burrito with side of hash browns (7/10). Perhaps there are other items that are better that I haven't tried. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. When you place your order with the server, it does unfortunately take quite some to get your order. I'm still open to trying this place again, mainly because it's close to work and they have different food options but it wouldn't necessarily be my go-to spot. read more

Alright! The location itself is super nice, with comfortable (and very pillowed) seating and a nice aesthetic. Prices were a little higher than some other spots in the area, but I wound up with the Very Berry smoothie. It was good, though it didn't leave a lasting impression. Literally, not much aftertaste. Service was friendly. read more

This was the first place I ate in LA after my sister moved there, and I have to say their acaí bowls are delightful. I have since had pressed juices and my family enjoys many of their menu items regularly. The crew there is really kind, and orders come thru quickly whether you are dining in or carrying out. The food is high quality, and the space has evolved to better accommodate visitors even since I started going there. read more

Amazing new find on wilshire/Fairfax metro stop(.3 of a mile). Excellent food and service. They also have Ecuadorian additions to the regular menu which i highly recommend! read more

I truly had high hopes because it's so rare to find a place with Ecuadorian food, but the best thing was the colada morada so I was a little disappointed. The Bolon mixto was dry and didn't have enough cheese or pork belly. The llapingachos were actually good, but I wish the sauce had had a stronger peanut butter taste like it usually does rather than just aji. Picked red onion would've made it even better. I was definitely disappointed by the service. I'll give some grace because I can see they're short staffed, but it took me 25 minutes from ordering to receive a coffee and water, and another 20 to receive a take out box even after asking twice at the end of the meal. The waitresses weren't particularly friendly. We ended up spending an hour twenty there just because of the waiting, whether for food or service. Restaurant is pricey but that makes sense for its location. It's honestly not worth the trek if you're coming from somewhere else in LA. If I do ever go again for holiday related Ecuadorian stuff, it's gonna be to go. read more

A very nice cafe with nice vibes and music inside a small plaza. Once I entered it felt very cozy and nice. Very friendly and nice staff. You can order at the counter or sit down and wait for the waiter. We ordered a few breakfast dishes like the garden egg white omelette, american breakfast, and french toast. All very tasty! You can also order your hash brown extra crunchy. The hot latte were delicious as well. Their butter orange is a must have! Parking available in front in the lot. read more

We came here because we needed a quick pick-me-up before the academy museum. Little did we know, we came RIGHT as they were about to close (we are so sorry to be those people)!!! We got the bacon egg cheese bagel and the cucumber chia seed juice (Recharge). They were really good but on the expensive side, as they both were about $10 each so the total for our two items was about $25... I only got the juice because I was dehydrated but it is made fresh so I can understand the costs. They also leave out hot sauces on tables. The service was great and the interior was gorgeous! I'd love to come back and try other dishes. read more

My fiance and I went recently and unfortunately we didn't have the best experience. Our server brought my fiancee a completely different dish and unfortunately her original dish took so long to come out which completely ruined our meal. So we just asked for the meal to go. Server said they would comp the dish that was delivered late however after paying the bill we realized that nothing was discounted.. we ended up not wanting to go back and make a fuzz so we just took our loss and went home. Very disappointing read more

I stumbled upon this hidden gem in LA which offers a variety of breakfast and lunch dishes. The greatest surprise was an Ecuadorian menu items with incredible flavors from bolones to quimbolitos, cheese empanadas and colada morada with guaguas de pan. The service was friendly and welcoming. The modern cafe decor makes a great place for a casual restaurant experience. I highly recommend this business. read more

Ordered the American breakfast. Photo depicts two pieces of bacon, I opt for the sausage instead. I ordered an extra side of sausage as well for $5.10. Food arrives, they provided a single piece of sausage with the main order and a single piece of sausage for $5.10 with side order. Abysmal, a ripoff and incorrectly depicted in the photos. If IHOP can provide a standard two pieces of sausage, there's zero excuse as to why you cannot. read more

..truth be told, Los Angeles doesn't offer many places that serve Ecuadorian food. I've tried most of them - including house restaurants. Yes, that's where my desire for Ecuadorian food has taken me. Unfortunately, i have been terribly disappointed until today. Cafe Fresco was actually wonderful. The food was authentic, delicious without pretending to be something else. Unlike other Ecuadorian restaurants, Cafe Fresco felt like an actual restaurant. The ambience was welcoming and comfortable. Stop by Cafe Fresco and delight your palette with kimbolitos (puffy light cake-like), umitas (like a tamel, but better) with a coffee. We also had a llapingacho (potato patty) and bolon (plantain ball) plates - they were crazy delicious. Take it from me.. I'm The Giant of Ecuador after all. This place is worth visiting.

Omg they serve the coffee cakes steaming warm!! That was the surprise highlight of the experience. Good hot chocolate. Not sure what is the deal with the tea, they don't have a tea bag?

Underwhelming and overpriced. Waited forever for a basic breakfast that somehow still came out wrong. Coffee was bitter, eggs were rubbery, and the staff seemed annoyed we were even there. Hard pass. Review reply: Aracelli, Well I'm glad you looked at my previous reviews but as you can see I have given more positive reviews than negative. I get it, sometimes we all have bad days and maybe that day it was just one of those days for your Business. I can clearly see more than 1 "1 star" review given to the restaurant (did you snoop through their profile too to see how many negative reviews they've given?) I'm speaking for my experience on all the reviews, good or bad. Overall, that day it wasn't what I was expecting food wise / service wise. However, I will definitely stop by again and hope to try it again. read more

My friend and I walked here for a last minute beverage/snack and meet up. I ordered the mango smoothie, but my friend was hungry, but other than pastries, there was no sign of another menu to order actual food from (despite other patrons having food), so ended up with the green smoothie. ‍ Partly my fault since I didn't see the note in the menu that all smoothies are made with almond milk by default, but I didn't like the nutty flavor it gave my otherwise fruity smoothie. Since default almond milk is unique (at least in my experience), it would've been nice if the cashier had simply asked "almond milk okay?" when I was ordering. My friend's smoothie was less smooth and had large chunks of fruit at the bottom requiring him to remove the lid to try to consume. We were in the seating area for about 15 minutes before we were also asked to leave "because they were taking pictures." The smoothies and the customer service left much to be desired. read more

I usually come here every now and then and the customer service is okay. I came here a couple weeks back and ordered a bagel with cream cheese. It took about 15-20 minutes which is okay, but the place was empty. Once the worker realized what I was waiting for she handed me my order and once I looked at my bagel I laughed since it barely had any cream cheese. I decided to give it another shot since it's close by. I told the worker about my last experience and she stated "that's weird we usually put a lot of cream cheese" and said she would put enough. When she handed me the bagel she said that there should be enough and I didn't look because I trusted her word. Once I checked it I laughed again because this is a big wow. read more

A as customer I always love being greeted when I come in! Today was my 2nd time walking in this cute and clean and convenient cafe and the front lady who was maybe having a bad day because she didn't smile nor welcomed me and so I welcomed myself and noticed she was still with a unsure mood. I didn't want her feeling uncomfortable but maybe I think she was - despiste this the tacos I ordered were phenomenal. Good amount of meat and taste is very fresh. Hopefully the smiles and welcomes get better but other then that great place! read more

My daughter n I came from another side of town and we noticed this lil spot.. nice environment, very clean.

Went to Cafe Fresco on a weekday morning. Not very busy inside and the staff was very friendly. Ordered a vegetarian omelette and two orders of very berry french toast for our family. Latte with oat milk was so smooth I didn't need any sugar and the french toast was the fluffiest and tastiest I've ever had along with a wonderful orange butter that made the dish next level! The egg white veggie omelette was perfect- full of veggies and also a side of fruit and sourdough toast. We are in town for two days and this was so good we are heading there again this morning!!! Might take a couple extra minutes for the food to come out but it's obviously due to the care and attention to quality put into the food and definitely worth the wait! read more

What a great find. I'm staying at the AC Marriott and was looking forward a late breakfast. This cafe is a short walk, staff were very friendly and the food and coffee were excellent.

Stopped in this morning for the first time and we all had a great Sunday brunch. It's more of a coffee lounge that also serves food plates kind of environment. It's the sort of place that you could order a coffee at the counter and sit with your computer and work, or actually have some sit down breakfast meals like we did this morning. Parking is really easy because there is a fairly large lot attached to the shopping center. The menu is not very large, but they do have some really solid options. Today we ordered the Eggs Benedict and the American Breakfast and both were really good. The pancakes with the American Breakfast were especially fluffy and really should not be missed. Overall a really good breakfast option and I would recommend to anyone. read more

What can I say? This place has become my second home. I come here all the time to have breakfast and dinner. Their food is amazing and never fails to impress me. I really recommend the Ecuadorian menu has so much flavor and new dishes that are not on the original menu. Don't forget to try their fresh juices as well and they raspberry mocha latte . If you're looking for your next brunch spot, I really recommend Café fresco and staff are super friendly and are always willing to help. read more
