guys you have to try the cajeta latte!!!!! best thing i've ever had in my life. the service was very fast and the space is perfect to go and work/read/study. it's so big and comfortable ! read more

Dumbfounded, seriously. I was expecting one of the best Green Tea Horchata drinks ever which should have consisted of good flavors, quality ingredients, and the correct amount of ingredients. Instead I received a poor beverage. First, my beverage had mostly green tea and maybe a quarter of horchata. Second, since it was mostly green tea it tasted bland. Third, my beverage was made incorrectly. Why? Well, I noticed photos on Yelp that had perfectly made Green Tea Horchata drinks that consisted of more than half of horchata and about a quarter of green tea. What happened to mine!? Service was exceptional! Nice young lady (Aurora) with a smile on her face and friendly. I ordered at 5pm exactly. The venue is huge! There were fun artifacts, souvenirs, and enough seating for a big crowd. Oh! And a door that leads to a brewery, but with a different name. Wish I would have tasted my drink while I was still at Horchateria...I would have asked for a remake. read more

I Love the vibe here! The inside is pretty big and there is seating for you to enjoy your drinks/treats and do some laptop work. They have many types of drinks iced/hot/blended and also sell some baked goods. The service is fast and friendly and I always leave satisfied with my experience here read more

Stopped here after a quick trip to Northgate Market. Surprised this place had so many reviews, so had to check it out. My husband and I came here pretty late, I would've liked to try their churros and other desserts that looks super delicious, but wasn't feeling it when we visited. We just opted to get a large horchata to share. I was not really a fan. Their horchata is super, super freaking sweet. I've definitely had better horchata elsewhere. The price and quantity is fair I think, but I'll have to try other things on their menu to see if just the horchata is not to my taste. Interior is very clean and spacious. This place is very well decorated, with art and merchandise around the store. However, it took quite a while before my order was taken even when no one was in front of me. Kind of just awkwardly stood there and took my phone out because no one came to take my order. Service was nice though when someone finally came over to take my order, and I got my drink really quick. There's a little bit of parking available, you may have an issue grabbing a spot on a typical day I think. There is a convenient drive-thru though. Will try to check this place out again whenever I'm nearby, I'm hoping other drinks will be better. read more

Huge fan. I love coming here, either for a coffee and breakfast hangout or grabbing churros and horchata ice cream (so good) for a dessert date. There's always a good reason to go to Horchateria. The interior is gorgeous and vibrant, it's very art-centric, and the cafe hosts live music/comedians/different venues in their extra pop-up room. The music is often really good, too. The breakfast menu is good, and is served on homestyle dishes. My main order is either their horchata frappe, or horchata ice cream. I've had so many friend meetups and dates here. I love being able to support a chill, but fun local cafe. From the owners/staff to the customers, it's always a vibe. The people are great, and are genuinely happy you stopped by. read more

The latte is too sweet and doesn't taste like espresso at all. If you get the horchata latte be prepared to taste sugar and cinnamon. I got the smallest size and it was $7.31 which is kinda crazy for something that doesn't taste like espresso. read more

Right when I stepped in, I was genuinely impressed by the amount of space and authentic Mexican art/decor they had! There was also a brewery that is soft opening inside which was a nice touch. We came for the churro sundae and it was absolutely delicious. The churros were perfectly fresh and the horchata ice cream was top notch. Perfect for sharing! The drinks, though, were way too sweet, especially the green tea horchata. I wish there was a way to make it less sweet but they unfortunately don't have any adjustment options. read more

Omgg I love this place! The inside is soo cute! It was my first time trying this place and safe to say it won't be my last! I got a Horchata Cafe Latte with strawberry cold foam and it was to die for. And don't get me started on that chocolate croissant, YUM!! Since this was my first time, I asked the girl at the cashier about the types of cold foam they had and she responded very kindly. Overall 10/10 experience for me and I def will be coming back! read more

Tried two new items. First the Strawberry cold foam coffee! Yummy 5/5 stars. Then I tried the mazapan cold foam coffee and it was complete opposite... super watered down coffee and the cold foam was flavorless and cost $1.60. Why does it cost so much?? It literally had no taste, I was so disappointed read more

I was excited to try Horchatería Río Luna based on the reviews, but unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype. The coffee was extremely bland and lacked flavor. It tasted watered down and didn't have the rich taste I expect from a specialty coffee shop. The horchata was alright, but not enough to make up for the disappointing coffee. Given all the positive reviews, I expected something much better. Overall, I found the place overrated and don't see myself returning. read more

The vibey place is very spacious, got good music, and yummy treats! My boyfriend and I have been here twice so far and we enjoy it! The watermelon agua fresca was not overly sweet and was light tasting, which I really enjoyed! The cheesecake was nice and cold, the graham cracker crust was very crumbly though but the taste was very rich! The second time we went, we got a mazapan frappe and the strawberry paleta frappe; BOTH very true to the flavors and very strong! These were paired with nice, hot, fresh mini churros and got some chocolate dipping sauce on the side. The chocolate is a little on the runny side; I know for the future I will be getting the lechera sauce instead! But these drinks were perfect for the heat wave we were experiencing! Lots of indoor seating, they sell very cute merch that includes coin concha purses, stickers, mugs, etc. We have only come together on Tuesday evenings so I am not sure what any other day is like or if it is more busy on a weekend. But I will definitely be coming back to try out other drink flavors and yummy desserts! read more

Came here specifically for the Churro Sundae. The churros were freshly made and had a great flavor. They were not as crispy as I like them on the outside, but the inside was warm, slightly chewy, and soft like I like them. Perfectly paired with the guava and lechera sauce it was smothered with. Ice cream was a great addition as well. The place is huge! Service was good. They also serve breakfast. Great place for dessert! read more

Walked in for a horchata steamer and walked out feeling like I'd just been wrapped in a cinnamon blanket. The drink came out quick, no waiting around while my sweet tooth negotiated terms. First sip? Warm, creamy, perfectly balanced. Not overly sweet, not bland. Just smooth horchata comfort with that subtle cinnamon hug that makes you slow down and appreciate life for a second. The space is open and inviting, easy to relax in, and the service was genuinely friendly without feeling forced. You can tell they take pride in what they're serving. If you need something warm, comforting, and worth the calories, this horchata steamer is it. Definitely recommend. El Yepista - Gabriel read more

The concha was good 4.5. The churro muffins were absolutely delicious 5/5. The hot chocolate was good, not too sweet. The horchata steamer 5/5 not too sweet, you could taste the horchata and hot chocolate. The cafe de olla frappe 5/5 wasn't too strong in coffee. The churros were good and thick. They tasted fresh, and I'm pretty sure they made them which is why it took a little longer to receive. The workers were kind and patient, super efficient too. The ambiance was super dope. The vibe was nice, area clean. It was giving modern Mexican culture vibes. read more

The ambiance and cleanliness inside of this cafe was very impressive! I was told to go here by a friend. It's like a rustic industrial warehouse vibe inside with lots of homey hispanic decor. After waiting at the counter and looking at the menu for a while (because only one guy was working.. doing both drive thru and the front!!), I picked out the Horchata frappe. The only thing was I expected to taste more of the Horchata flavor.. I feel like it was a creamy milk frappe with very tame expresso and lots of cinnamon powder shaken on the whip cream. Unfortunately it tasted alright to me, but hopefully it was just because the barista was in a rush being by himself and didn't do things correctly? I did enjoy relaxing on the couches but I found myself not really wanting to finish my drink. If I were to come back here, I'd only do so if someone invited me or if I wanted to study in here. Not sure if I would want to go back again on my own. Bathrooms were big and clean inside. The pastries and bakery items look promising. read more

The food is so good here. I love this place. The churros are the best thing in my opinion. :)

I was pretty surprised at how large the interior is for a cafe that sells drinks and some breakfast items. I was craving some coffee and I heard about this spot as a recc. I love horchata so as soon as I saw the name, Horchateria Rio Luna, I thought why not? There wasn't any written info on the menus that nondairy milks were offered, but thankfully the barista mentioned they had almond milk or oat milk as a substitute. I got the Iced Horchata Latte with oat milk, and to be honest, I had trouble tasting the Horchata flavor I love. It tasted like a vanilla latte with cinnamon powder tossed ontop. It was good though, but as I drank it, the remaining bits of powder at the bottom of the drink made the texture chalky. So I didn't fully finish it. Anyways, the coffee was pretty decent and once again, the interior blew me away at how cozy it is with several couches and so many tables to sit at. Free wifi with password written at the counter. Definitely a good spot with AC to use a laptop for study. *free parking / wifi *unique Mexican decor *breakfast items also served *has a drive-thru as well read more

This is one of my favorite place to work out of. They offer Wi-Fi and have some plugs for your laptops. The place is huge and has plenty of seating. The food options are pretty good during the breakfast hours. My favorite is the breakfast sandwiches, tater tots, the biscuits and gravy, and their chilaquiles. After 2pm they have pastries and their drinks available. My favorite go to drink is the hot chocolate with oat milk or their aqua frescas & their cheesecakes are pretty good as well. The service is friendly and pretty quick. I def recommend! read more

Stopped by and tried some drinks, churros and breakfast burrito. We ordered the party pack of churros, but honestly it felt like more of an empty box than a "party" pack for $15. On the plus side, they do give you 3 dip options, which I liked and was more than enough. We also tried the Horchata Oaxaqueña and the horchata iced coffee. Both were decent, but not amazing - the horchata itself tasted a bit watered down. The barbacoa breakfast burrito was delicious. Yes, it is almost $18 but it was packed with barbacoa and had a great taste. This place is worth checking out, they have so many options to choose from! read more

It's been nine years since I last visited Horchateria. I still remember when they were at their original, much smaller location. Back then, you could already tell they had something special. Since then, I've seen them slowly expand, build, and remodel over time--and coming back now with some friends, it honestly made me proud to see how far they've come. The new location looks great, and everything still feels true to the quality and vibe I remember. Even better, I heard they've opened another location, which is amazing to see as someone coming back from Sacramento, CA after all these years. Wishing them nothing but continued success. I hope they keep growing and opening more locations in the future. They've come a long way, and they deserve it. read more

I have been coming here for years and I'm so proud of how much this place has grown. Still holding true to its mom and pop roots, this cafe has blossomed into something well deservingly big!! Matcha is now on the menu with the green tea horchata (and frap) and their pan/pastry case continues to expand. This spot is so big with chill music at all times. Great art on the walls. Large spacious tables. read more

Came here on a whim. Glad I did! The atmosphere is really chill inside, it's huge and it was very warm inside. The food meal is available from 7am to 2pm. I ordered cafe de la oja- it was a little sweet, so after drinking it about halfway. I went, and I had them refill it with regular coffee and they were very sweet and offered to give me a new cup of regular. I am planning to go back to try the food. I will go back to enjoy the coffee and desserts. read more

Came in for lunch and we both ended up getting breakfast. Loved the fact that b'fast is served until 2pm - nice bonus! Service was great. The staff welcomed us when we walked in which was very nice. I was blown away on walking in to this very spacious, very open, and warm café. Lots of room around the tables, lots of artwork on the walls, a nice little spot to buy little things like coffee mugs and related items. I took lots of photos - that's how much I liked what I saw. I ordered the "3 all natural fluffy pancakes, coconut cream, AND organic maple syrup. Slap me now - I'm in Southern California and they are service MAPLE SYRUP?! I immediately ordered this. My friend ordered the barbacoa breakfast burrito. I have to say that my pancakes were just delicious. Listen, I've been to a café in downtown Lake Placid, NY - in the heart of maple syrup country - and they did not service maple syrup - you couldn't even pay for it. Crazy! So HRL get's kudos from this displaced Canadian who loves maple syrup on his pancakes. In fact, when the owner (David) came by I complimented the fact the dish was excellent and the syrup was literally the caviar on top. My buddy loved his b'fast burrito. I'm coming back, but I wonder if I will ever try anything other than the pancakes with maple syrup. Yum, yum, yum. By the way, I had my first horchata (plain) here. Really enjoyed it! read more

Horchateria Rio Luna is one of those spots where once you try it your always going to wanna come back. The ambiance is a very retro Latino cafe. They have a lot of cool little Knick knacks souvenirs where you can buy . The service is ok not the best but not bad .

Honestly, I decided on this coffee/pastry place as a mid-way stop between L.B and L.A., and I'm so glad I decided to! This location is lovely, clean and so spacious with high ceilings and plants and decor that makes the environment very pleasant. I ordered the green tea horchata latte with a cream cheese jalapeño pastry, which were both very delicious and filling, and the perfect wake-up snack I needed to continue the ride. The staff was great, and the gentleman who took my order was very friendly and welcoming. (P.S. I hope you get the ZR6R!). Thank you so much! read more

I am local to the area and always try and stop by here whenever I need to study. I really like the ambience of horchateria, as it's always filled with a lot of people. As for the drinks I've tried many times, the frappes are solid but the health grade as a B always prevents me from trying more items. One thing I strongly dislike is that their restrooms are always poorly maintained. No matter how many times I come back to show support , the restrooms are always out of toilet paper, soap, or very dirty. If they up kept their restrooms, redid their inspection to an A , and also constantly cleaned their tables, this place would be better in all. Needs improvement. read more

Awesome churros!!! Wish they had one closer to us. To far away for us. It was worth the drive though

I love this place but lately their service has become sub par. Specifically in their drive thru area the drinks take a while.

Got their green tea horchata which is pretty much a matcha horchata latte. Sooooo good. I just kinda don't like the wait time. But everything else is perfect. There's ample seating options. Perfect environment to study and there's even WiFi. Lastly, the restrooms are pretty clean. Overall, would def recommend :)) read more

The churros and drinks were had were all really good. We ordered the systems churros to share between 3 people and they were perfect. Fresh out, soft yet crunchy, a good balance of cinnamon and drizzle. We also ordered drinks: the Choco frappe, churro frappe, and steamed horchata. The steamed horchata was the best drink and probably what I would order when I return. It's on the sweeter side that's how I prefer my drinks. Choco frappe and churro frappe were pretty standard iced blended drinks. The churro frappe was surprisingly not as sweet as I thought it would be. This is a cafe so you order at the front then wait for your drinks and food to come out. We went after 8 pm so it was pretty chill that time. Plenty of seats for both small groups and big groups. The wall art is also very fun! read more
