    I used to come here in the early 2000s when it was a small mom and pop shop and probably seated less than 50 people. I just recently came back for the first time since nearly 20 years ago, and so much changed! They expanded and seems like there may be another location as well! The food was better than I remember too! The churro platter was really good, especially with the dipping sauces. The chilaquiles was tasty. The green was on the tangy side just fyi. All the dishes were tasty and I would come back to try more items!

    This is my second time coming here and the space itself is always busy. Their coffees seem to be popular. Ordered the lavender honey latte and it was delicious, the perfect balance of sweet. For the food, the house burrito was good, but it was a bit dry when you hit the middle of the burrito. Felt like it needed sour cream inside and cheese to balance the meet and potatoes. The same for the hobo skillet. Needed a balance, maybe even some diced vegetables like bell peppers. They just felt like heavy dishes. I came and enjoyed their strawberry crepes the last time, which were delicious. But again, the dishes feel a bit unbalanced. Either it's heavy on the grease to clog the arteries or heavy on the sweet to give you diabetes. Worth a visit, but I haven't found a dish I like that gives a wow. They did forget my plate last time, so everyone ate as I waited for my plate to come. Staff is friendly but like I said, they do get busy and I have seen some tables get served sooner than others.

    Ordered To Go today. Amazing food! Everything was warm. Chips were soggy so order sauce on the side to have crispy chips. The crepe is always my favorite.

    El Tri

    Service was great! We got seated right away, the servers came to check in with us to take our drink and food order Almost immediately. My daughter and I shared El Tri. Which was red and green chilaquiles, with steak, potatoes and egg. It was very filling for both of us. We enjoyed it. They also have a variety of crepes which we have had before and are delicious. The cafe de olla is a must try!

    My wife and I met friends here for breakfast. Our experience was relaxing and fun, thanks to the great customer service we received and the delicious meal we enjoyed. The employees who assisted us were very friendly, attentive, and hardworking. The food we had was perfectly prepared and flavorful. The vibe here is fun, with uplifting Mexican music playing overhead, and the restaurant is colorful, clean, and inviting. Parking is readily available in the large, private parking lot.

    Huevos Rancheros

    Yes ! THEY CHANGED MANAGEMENT! Trust me when I say ... this is good news . They manager before would always have a mean look , and you can tell other workers would feel her," bad vibes " ... it would also make customers feel icky while trying to enjoy their meals . I wouldn't mind coming often even more now . I will always be a huge fan of the Huevos Rancheros . Once you have that meal , you would be hooked for life .

    Chilaquiles
    Paulina M.

    Tried Caramelo Cafe in La Puente and ordered the chilaquiles--really good choice. The flavors were on point, with the perfect balance of sauce and texture so the chips weren't too soggy or too dry. Simple dish, but they did it really well. Went in on a Saturday morning around 9:30 and there was about a 10-minute wait. By the time we headed out, there were a bunch of parties waiting, so it definitely gets busy.

    Club Panini
    Debby D.

    Inside was a dark and chill atmosphere. I liked the ambiance. We were giving a large steel carafe of water. Condiments were already on the side of the table and the server was really friendly and prompt with orders and bringing food out. My friend brought me here, she's been here before and said everything was great. Can't go wrong with anything you order from here. This could be preference since I thought it was just ok. I got the chilaquiles and club panini. It was cooked well, and the egg was over medium as requested. It was cooked perfectly. The problem is I didn't really taste much flavor aside from tomatillo. It was as if the chips were sitting in a sauce of just boiled tomatillo. The club sandwich was also too salty for me. I paid an extra $2 to get my side upgraded to fries and that was delicious. It was crispy and hot. I wouldn't rule not coming back if friends wanted to come back but it just wouldn't be my first choice.

    Breakfast Burrito

    Ordered a breakfast burrito to go and was DELICIOUS. I love their crepes too. Been coming to this place for years now before they expanded their restaurant and they deserve their success.

    I've got to say... I'm super impressed by this place!! I've been here three times now and the staff and the food has not disappointed me :)! The food here is so good and the coffee is made to perfection! I've gotten a few different dishes here and their seasoning is absolutely a amazing! One of the waitresses named Pamela, helped my dad and I out the first time and she talked us through for what they are known for and customers favorites. They are known for their Chilaqulies which omg you definitely have to get it! As for drinks, I've gotten a caramel blended ice coffee and one of their signature lattes (amor de naty). Both were delicious! The taste of coffee and their other flavors are pretty balanced which is nice when paired with your meal. Overall this place deserves the 5 stars because of their amazing service, consistent delicious & well seasoned food, and their tasty drinks. I also would like to thank Pamela again for helping us feel very much welcomed for when we first tried this place out :)!

    This was two separate orders. Good amount of food

    Got to visit for the first time today. Service is great! Very attentive staff. Food is amazing! Large portions, great flavor. The place has plenty of sitting but it does get busy. I forgot the name of the coffee I got but I wasn't too big of a fan. The sugar was all at the bottom and flavor was alright. Other than that I would definitely come back and also try a different coffee.

    I took my mom here for a Mother's Day brunch and my birthday celebration because it falls around…read morethe same time every year. I am so glad we chose Hide Out Cafe in Rowland Heights to have our celebration. The food is delicious, the staff is so friendly, and the cafe is so cozy and welcoming. My brother was sponsoring our meal since he couldn't make it, so of course we had to go all out and order two drinks and two main dishes. (Thank you, big brother)! I got the Boba Bear Set $8.50, which comes with a drink and two house-made cookies, and my mom got their Tiramisu Latte $7.00, which is heavy on the coffee liquor, to be honest, but we had fun with it. The drinks are crafted beautifully, and with the open cafe concept, you can see they pay attention to the small details of their crafted drink menu. The house-made cookies that were a part of my Boba Bear Set are not to be forgotten. The cookies are buttery, decadent, and delicious; they are the perfect tea cookies to pair with! I can't wait to go back and try more of their fun drinks and maybe bring a study book the next time. For our main dishes, we shared the Chimi Wagyu & Frites $35.00, and the Fresh Avocado Toast $19.00. We both love eggs so of course we had to get something with eggs in our dish. My mom loved her avocado toast, and they were very generous with the avocado as well on there. The salad is a definite hit with us and included a great dressing on the side. The eggs were cooked perfectly on top of our toast and steak. The frites with my steak were crispy and seasoned well. I also loved the chimi sauce with my steak as well. The portion was huge so we were able to take some back home to enjoy another day. Overall, my mom and I had a great experience and would absolutely come back for another sip of their lattes and try another fun drink on their menu. We left with happy smiles and full stomachs, and can't wait to come back soon.

She ordered the sisilog (crispy pork with fried eggs), and I went with the Binagoongan talong (sautéed eggplant with shrimp paste). Both dishes were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly, rich, savory, and incredibly satisfying. We paired our meals with refreshing sago't gulaman, made with tapioca pearls, sweet syrup, and Filipino-style gelatin. It was the perfect sweet, icy finish. Customer service was great from start to finish. Staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Pang Inasal did not disappoint, and we'll definitely be back to explore more of their menu. Highly recommended!

    The place is at the corner of what looks like a deserted square on S Glendora blvd... and it made…read moreme nervous that the place was empty, but open til 9pm. It's a large-ish space, and I guess kind of like a sit-down place (not "turo-turo/cafeteria style like some Filipino joints), with a ton of Filipino snacks on the counter. Plenty of seats that have seen better days. A portion of the restaurant is covered in plastic to house some construction equipment ? I asked for the pork sisig ala carte and decided to add an order of kalderetang kambing and 2c of rice. Big mistake buying more than one entree when you are taking it home and have no clue how their food tastes. I trusted Yelp too much. . Sisig had a 1:1 ratio of meat to bell peppers. I also couldn't help but feel lile the peppers were undercooked, even raw. Maybe that was their style, but I also disliked the mayo on top. Now the kalderetang kambing had a strange fishy (gamey) smell in the car. When I tried it at home, the meat looked so red and tasted way too sweet, not at all like the Kalderetas I'm used to back home. The meat was falling off the bone soft though. This is my problem with Filipino restaurants in the US - if they can't make dishes better tasting than what I make at home (i rarely cook but im a good eater), I cannot rate them high at all. I've eaten too much Filipino food in my life to know what tastes good. I feel bad because the folks who work here/(owners?) are pretty nice and they were working on Valentines. But the current rating they have is misleading. If you're going for the big entrees like I did, and are used to Gerry's Grill type sisig, prepare to be disappointed. Yelp, you did not come thru for me this time.
