    This is a family owned and operated Mexican food restaurant I found on yelp. We came in got greeted at the door then sat at a booth we choose to start with some smoothies witch were amazing I got the mango and my wife got the green juice and the my oldest got a horchata and the lil one got a strawberry smoothie. The lady serving the table was polite and welcoming also very personable talking to my whole family. I like that they used the space in the building well having both tables and booths with a warm vibe inside. I got the mocahete which was great! The sauce was miles with bold flavor my wife got the pozole she was also impressed my grandma got the chili verde also liking her meal everyone overall was very happy there and we will be going back for sure!

    This is a little hole in the wall that has great authentic Mexican food. I discovered this place by driving by. Ordered a few times and have been coming ever since. Very friendly and great service. Overall I believe this place deserves more attention. I support small businesses and I just can't help but offer this review for this awesome place.

    Love this place! They're so welcoming and delicious! Been coming here for years. They are our go to for catering and just wanting a home style meal without cooking for yourself on days you don't feel like cooking.

    Just want to say this place has saved me soooo many times when I'm craving authentic Menudo at all times of the week. The taste is an explosion of flavor, the temperature is nice and hot and the ambiance is so homey I love it so much! The service and kindness of the owner and employees at the location make me want to go back because of how welcoming and sweet they are. Strongly recommend, this place is definitely my go to for real authentic Mexican food.

    Some of the refreshments.

There were 4 pieces of chicken and those were crispy. Butter and syrup were provided in separate containers since I ordered as takeout. I also got a breakfast burrito w/ bacon and turkey with no green onions for my friend. My friend ended up loving the burrito! I went close to around 1:30 pm on the weekend so it wasn't busy at that time. It took a few minutes for the order to be ready. The store itself was a small spot that is ideal for groups or 4 or less and takeout. There is street parking right at front but I had to park near the downtown area and walk over. American Express is accepted here.

The chicken was fried to perfection, as usual. I don't live locally, and travel about 30 minutes to get here, because it is that good! The service is always on point the music selection is the best!! What more can you ask for?? Great food, service, and music! I have had other items off then menu (Mac & cheese, collard greens, catfish, and breakfast burrito) and I am never disappointed. If you're on the fence of giving BB's Cafe a try, here is your sign!

    We ended up at Dollie's Breakfast on a whim and didn't check the reviews beforehand -- honestly, if…read moreI had, we might not have gone. It's located where the old Sizzler used to be (RIP to the cheese bread ). We went on a Sunday around 12:30. It was pretty quiet, but since they close at 2, that made sense. Service was prompt and friendly, and once we ordered, our food came out quickly. The menu is smaller and definitely diner-style. The food itself was just okay -- nothing bad, but nothing standout either. Basic eggs and hash browns. The corned beef hash was clearly from a can, which didn't bother me. The biscuits were a little hard and cold, but the gravy was actually pretty good. Now for the pricing -- $5 for an iced tea and around $7 for orange juice feels a little wild. Our total was $89 before tip for 4 adults and 2 kids (the kids shared one pancake, which was a good size). Overall, it was a decent experience. A bit pricey for what you get, but solid enough. We'd probably go back if we were in the area again -- next time we'd try the lunch menu instead. 4 solid stars.

As my family and I are seating my 4 year old hopped on the booth and was moving to his spot when the booth collapsed in and my son fell in between the wood and floor. He instantly started crying the ONLY EMPLOYEE that came to check on us was Litzy who wasn't even our server she just happened to be near by and helped move us to another booth, and said that she was going to let the manager aware of what happened and that the manager would be checking on us. We move to our booth and our server comes to assist us at our new booth acting like nothing happened. We were upset and debating if we should leave but our kids were hungry so we continued to order hoping the experience would get better and waiting for the manager. The manager never came, we saw a woman Asian employee who looked like the manager & asked her if she was the manager she said kind of not really but asked if there was something she could help with. We just told her nothing we were waiting for the manager. Still no one came. The food was awful flies all inside the building. My husband took our 4 year old to the restroom and immediately said EWW. Restrooms disgusting. We got the check and our server told us she only charged us for the adult plates and not the kids plates bc of what happened with our son falling. Her first time acknowledging what happened to my son, not once did she ask if he was okay or needed anything. My husband complained to Litzy who was processing our payment about our experience at their establishment. She apologized deeply for our experience (EVEN THOUGH IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH HER) and was the only employee to show concern over our son getting hurt shoutout Litzy the only employee with a heart and good customer service. Families stay away from here all booths are wobbly and not secure, the spot is filthy. If something happens the staff is going to keep acting like they saw nothing. Better off going to McDonald's.

Unfortunately, this visit was very disappointing. When we were ordering, the cashier told us they were out of avocados for the avocado toast. Because of that, my nephew ordered a torta instead. However, when his torta arrived, it was layered with avocados. We were confused because that was exactly what he had been told was unavailable and the reason he changed his order. I also ordered a Najara iced tea and was initially told they were out of it. A moment later, I was told they did have it. When my drink arrived, it was a peach tea instead. I politely explained that it wasn't what I had ordered, but I was told it was "the same thing." Since both drinks were listed separately on the menu, I pointed that out, but the waitress insisted they were the same. Later, we asked another server for five green salsas. He returned with only two green salsas and three red salsas because they had run out of the green salsa. Our entire family was seated on the extended patio where there were no fans. It was about 95 degrees outside, and we were extremely uncomfortable in the heat. Several family members commented that this was not a great first impression. After spending more than $300, we expected better service, clearer communication, and to receive the items we actually ordered. As someone who has been a loyal customer for years and has recommended this restaurant to friends and family, I was disappointed that this experience fell so far below the standard I've come to expect.
