    Warm chips and salsa
    Daniel O.

    When it's good it's great. Chips almost always taste fresh and warm. Were breakfast people here. It can get busy and some of the staff are a little too chatty about the behind the scenes that guest can hear. Salsa is chunky but good. Diet Coke always hits IYKYK! Never been for dinner, the menudo harmony/tripe ratio always spot on.

    Combination #7 - Chicken Taquitos with black beans; Carnitas Burrito wet with green sauce.

    I recently moved to the area and wanted to try this restaurant again. I used to come here 5 or 6 years ago while visiting friends in Menifee and loved it then. Today was my second meal in the past week, both meals were excellent. I came with my granddaughter, and she also loved her meal. She ordered the combination #7 - chicken taquitos with black beans; and I ordered the carnitas burrito wet with green sauce. When I came to leave my review, I was surprised at the overall medium score. So I went and scanned the Reviews with scores of 1,2, 4 or 5. Almost all the 1"s or two's were from 2023 and 2024. Almost all the 4's and 5's were from 2025. So before basing your decision on the reviews, give it a try. Make your own decision. I know that we will be back!

    Prices are terrible for the mid food, drinks are so over priced you may as well stay home the servers are nice but that is it. Marble rye

    Food and drinks were great. More importantly was the service, Jenny is so efficient and friendly! She literally makes you feel like family To us, that is not something that can be trained, it's genuine and so appreciated. Carnitas is a Menifee favorite, go in and say hi to Jenny!!

Between the distance from our home in Perris and the initial experience with the food quality--specifically the stale biscuits and overly salty gravy--we've decided it's best to just move on. ​We'll be sticking to the Moreno Valley location in the future, but I do want to acknowledge that the Menifee management made a professional effort to resolve the issue.

Sooo much better than going to a chain coffee shop especially the one on every corner with a green mermaid!!!

Great place to enjoy your morning coffee on a date with my hubby and also looking forward to coming back with my daughters and friends!

(I'm new in the area) Had a little mom + son coffee date at Cafe Mercato and honestly... 10/10 experience. I got a coffee so big it looked like it came with a gym membership, and my son was living his best life with the perfect hot chocolate. Everybody won. The vibe in this place is SO cute and unique, so cozy, artsy, and full of personality. Every table and decoration felt like it had a story. It's the kind of spot where you walk in planning to stay 15 minutes and suddenly it's been an hour and you're emotionally attached to the coffee mug. Absolutely love this little spot and will definitely be a regular. Must try!

The patio dining is beautiful, and the prices are reasonable, which has kept us coming back. That said, our most recent visit on Sunday after church was extremely disappointing. We came with a cousin expecting the same great experience we've had before, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case. We were quoted a 20-30 minute wait and ended up waiting over an hour. Once seated, we ordered right away, but it took more than another hour for our food to arrive. When the food finally came out, the portion sizes seemed noticeably smaller. My husband's order was incorrect, and he didn't receive his meal until after the rest of us had already finished eating. We were also missing a side we had ordered. On top of that, we didn't receive our drinks for at least 30 minutes, and were told the bartender was "flustered." Overall, we left feeling really disappointed and dissatisfied, especially since we've had such positive experiences here in the past. At this point, we'd honestly rather grab something quick from Canyon Lake Market than go through another experience like this.

The staff, Paul De La Vega (Manager), Yasmine, and Blake (Servers) were exceptional, attentive, friendly, and genuinely committed to making sure everything was perfect for my daughter's Bridal Shower. The view was absolutely exquisite, providing a beautiful and relaxing backdrop that elevated the entire event. The food itself was wonderful, flavorful and perfect for lunch on the patio. What stood out most was the impeccable setup and seamless service! Everything felt polished and well-coordinated, making for a smooth and enjoyable dining experience from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food, outstanding service, and a stunning atmosphere.
