    Chilaquiles de Mole Oaxaqueño
    Edgar R.

    Lovely place, inside and outside seating. Ordered a cafe de la olla with Chilaquiles de Mole Oaxaqueño. Tasty coffee but too sweet, ask for half regular coffee. Chilaquiles were delicious, came with beans and potatoes.

    We had a great lunch and the restaurant is really cute. Great food, coffees and deserts. I had the Machaca burritos with rice and beans and my friend had the tuna sandwich with minestrone soup. Both were really good. The salsa with the chips is delicious. The service is fantastic.

    Sopa azteca

    A pretty spot with a nice ambiance for a date or a coffee. I was promptly seated and ordered a pitcher of strawberry lemonade for the table, though there was a variety of drinks available. Despite the restaurant being empty, a group was seated in the booth next to us, causing discomfort as their belongings touched ours and they constantly looked over at our party. While this behavior wasn't the restaurant's fault, the seating arrangement certainly was. We were given chips and salsa. The chips started stale but the salsa was great. The food was underwhelming: the rice was hard, the mole was mediocre, and the sopa azteca was unimpressive. The sopa de tortilla, however, was excellent. When it came time for dessert, I was disappointed to find that, despite an extensive dessert menu, only the options I disliked were available.

    First, I would say the service is eh. They need to update the whole waitlist. Maybe even try to go digital, and add phone numbers to contact us when the table is ready? Felt there were some discrepancies because some people who barely arrived and asked about the wait times somehow got sat immediately. How are you sure the people you call are the actual people? There were numerous times when someone's name gets called and no one responds, but the people who suddenly arrive say that they are them. Getting sat down once you are called and ordering was quick, but getting the check took a while. TIP: Make sure to look at the digital menu while waiting to get seated. I was disappointed with the Birria Chilaquiles. Felt like it was missing something I just can't pinpoint it. Mango soda was pretty good just make sure to give it a good swirl. Overall okay experience, the vibe was just ruined with the whole waitlist and service. I expected a little more than I should have.

    Nice little spot my omelette and toast were on point with lots of flavor. Their salsas area also really good my wife had a great juice that no pic was taken of and it was really good. Service was good and place is very nice and classy. They have a variety of things from crepes to pancakes and steak but have not tried them. Can't wait to return and explore the menu.

    Cafe de olla & chai latte

    Came here to have breakfast and I honestly loved it! The food was absolutely amazing I would go back all the time if I could. I really liked the vibe I thought it looked like a cute coffee shop and when we asked for directions the waiters were extremely helpful. Overall I definitely think this place is worth a try!

    Great service and a big menu to choose from, we got seated outdoors and it was very nice and spacious. Our party of 12 was serviced quickly and the staff was attentive

    The food was great and the service was excellent. Only complaint was they sat us by the door which kept opening and it was freezing. I had the chile relleno and my girlfriend got the chicken enchiladas. Would love to come back for breakfast.

    I went to one near Otay last time. This one was just as busy. The hostess said it was a 15 minutes wait. We walked around for a few minutes and came back when my name was called. I had the cappuccino and just the fruit salad. It was great. Jackie had a regular salad and cake. Both were good.

    What an experience, the food was very good but the deserts were even better , I don't think I've ever had a Nutella/ strawberry and chocolate crepe as food as the one I had here , it was just absolutely perfect, very good I've never had one this good, the coffee de la flor was just as good, full of flavor and just delicious. The service was attentive, fast and very courteous. Do yourself a favor and come eat here , the line is long but very fast , totally worth it .

    Cleanliness: 5 Ambience: 5 Parking : 4 (paid) Menu selection: 5 Food quality: 5 Prices: 3 Service: 2 Seating comfort: 4 Restrooms: 3 This restaurant is located in the shopping center next to the movie theater. During peak times it can be quite crowded. They do offer a wide variety of foods on their menu; everything for Mexican antojitos, sandwiches (bagels, paninis, tortas, club), to pastas, salads, crepes, soups, nachos, wings, etc. They also offer a breakfast menu. They have a wide variety of drinks. Everything from soft drinks, teas, lemonade, wine, and other alcohol. The ambience is classy. The place is well decorated, suitable for small groups, families, business meetings, or even a date night. Everything I saw was very clean. The food is very good, but the service is slow. They managed to mess up both my order and my friend's. My pasta was missing the chicken, so I had to send it back for them to add the chicken. Instead of a crêpe, my friend was delivered a torta which also had to be sent back. We were short on time, and their lack of efficiency cost us another half an hour. I am hoping that was an anomaly and not the norm. It was very hard to get the attention of our server when we needed him. I did enjoy the food once I got it. But I was so hungry by then I probably would've been happy with just about anything. The prices are fair for the kind of restaurant it is. I would consider giving them another chance and trust for better service.

    We came here to have lunch one weekend. The drive was not far from our hotel, and we found parking along the street. This cafe is clean, nicely decorated, and quite charming. The other patrons were well dressed and nice folks. The host and the waiters were friendly and very attentive. We were shown to our table almost immediately. Our waiter wasted no time in getting out drinks while we perused the menu. To start off, I went with a tortilla soup. The soup was delicious, and amazingly well made. This was a good intro to what was to come: my enchilada dish. The food was a firestorm of flavor, and left me very satisfied but not comatose. The agua fresca that I ordered was flavorful, and not something that would give me a sugar crash afterward. I was very impressed by this cafe. It is now in my radar for my next trip to baja. If you're looking for a great meal in a charming locale, this cafe is definitely recommended. Give em a try!

    So this looks like a top shelf liquor store. I walk in and ask if there's a bar, the cashier says…read morethere is and tells me to take a seat by the fireplace. I thought it was kinda weird but did so. Then the fireplace spins around into a speakeasy. It's the coolest bar I've ever been to and I immediately sent a video to my buddies of the fireplace spinning around into the bar. The beer selection is limited but the cocktail list is lengthy. So I got a amor picante and English brown ale. Both were pretty tasty, the bartenders or more like mixologists and know what they're doing. That's this critic's review.

    This was our first time visiting, we choose to go for our 1st yr wedding anniversary. Thought we…read morecould have a few drinks, enjoy the ambiance and then proceed with our night. Right away when we arrived I noticed that the flooring on the revolving fireplace looked like it needed to be replaced. I shrugged it off thinking they needed light weight materials for the revolving floor entrence. But I didn't think it was a good look for what is supposed to be a swanky exclusive vibe and being the first thing you really see. ( First impressions are important) Despite having made a reservation, we were seated directly between the revolving entrence and the exit, in the two coolest looking but most uncomfortable chairs. They were not practical at all for sitting and conversing a in a loud environment. That corner, in my opinion, should be reserved for the hostess and not for guest. Initially we thought these chairs were a quick stop before being moved to some of the other available sitting at the bar or around the perimeter we could clearly see when we came in. We asked, and where told those were our seats. No offer was made to be moved. We did not get a server to come to us until after we had placed our drink order with one of the hostess, about 20min after we were seated. Our server was very nice and polite. No issues there, just took long to get to us. The drinks were disappointing. Forgettable to say the least. We ordered one of there menu items and a Moscow mule. We were sad to see the Moscow mule served in a glass you might normally get a mojito in ... it wasn't served in a copper cup. As we sat there and looked at the place, we both thought the ambiance and decor was nice. However we were surprised to see so many people looked very underdressed considering they have a "smart casual" dress code, completely destroyed the whole swanky exclusive vibe. Lots of men in shorts and both men and women in flip flops. I also noticed the flooring inside the speakeasy had similar wear and scuff marks, as on the fireplace. The need to update their flooring and the amount of underdressed guest did not help project the vibes that they are going for. This really felt like a fast food (drinks) chain in any mall. Sadly I would not recommend, do to the drinks not being all that good, the service was mediocre, the "vibe" and experience they sell fall short.
