    We're back again for breakfast. The customer service is excellent and the food is delicious, taste like homemade.We ordered a Frittata omelette with fruit and a colossal half pound cheeseburger with fries.We have been coming to this establishment for decades. The ambience is nicely decorated with plenty of booths and tables and Counter to sit down and enjoy your meal there's plenty to choose from the menu breakfast lunch, and dinner.

    This place is great for the local regulars. I sat at the counter and listened to my Server greet everyone as they came in. Took the time to have a conversation with them as I waited to place my order. Food was standard diner food... no bells and whistles. Coffee was good. The parking lot does get crowded on Sunday mornings. I believe the Owner was also helpful and pleasant to hear as she manned the food coming out of the window and spoke with customers coming in. Not sure I will return, but that doesn't mean YOU shouldn't give it a try. Respectfully Reviewed.

    Patty melt
    Paulina G.

    I always come here during the weekend for their breakfast, but today was the first time I was able to order from their entree menu since I arrived after 11am. I ordered the Patty melt with the side of French fries (you can select fries, coleslaw or fresh fruit). We also ordered the Salisbury steak with the side of chicken soup and garlic bread. The food was delicious, my patty melt and fries were a bit oily, but it's fried food so it's to be expected. The Salisbury steak and mashed potatoes had a good flavor. Even though it was busy we were promptly attended to and had plenty of water and coffee refills. If you order breakfast make sure to ask for a side of salsa!

    1/26/25 Another local favorite patronized, will DEFINITELY return, good grub & excellent service! Not feeling like cooking today as I am feeling lazy & Hubby is not going to cook either. Hubby actually chose this local restaurant. When I say local, we could've worked up an appetite & walked. Surprisingly at 11 am on a Sunday with a n almost full parking lot, we were immediately seated upon entry. Drinks were offered ASAP, friendly busboy. Within minutes, Lorena, our server graciously welcomed us with a very friendly smile. Loving this place already! Ambiance is warm, clean, diner style, comfortable with booths, tables & counter service. The staff are all busy bees & the servers in particular are running on crack (okay by crack, I mean coffee/caffeine but in a wonderful way). I feel very much welcomed like a regular & like family. My coffee arrived promptly along with Hubby's Diet Coke as Lorena took our orders: Hubby's Machaca w/ beans & rice, for me blueberry pancakes, 2 over medium eggs & 2 strips of crispy bacon. I took more photos & when I returned, our food was ready! Just like that! WowZaH, fast & friendly-what more could you ask for... well the lady (owner/manager) up front could use more of that crack the servers are on!, maybe a little smile on her beautiful face certainly couldn't hurt. My food was delicious! The pancakes in particular are soft, fluffy with a delicate chew, plenty of blueberries folded in (no powdered sugar as I requested), perfectly over medium eggs, bacon is delightfully crispy. Hubby was not as impressed with his Machaca, he said it was not seasoned well enough, but he polished off his entire plate (and usually he does not eat the beans). My coffee was decent and I had about 3-4 cups (one I tried black) Overall, will surely return to try other items in the menu, Lorena said we will definitely be regulars soon enough. She was right from the get go. Now that confidence! I like her! Plenty of parking, restrooms are clean. Glad Hubby found this spot

    Delightful biscuits and gravy!

    Excellent place for chisme with the bestie. Bobbi, our server was just lovely. She was so kind and attentive. Inside is classic old school diner vibes. Long counter, very 70s or early 80s type styling. My pancakes? Perfectly fluffy. The Hashbrowns, crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and well seasoned. My friend had the biscuits and gravy and graciously let me have a bite.; 10/10 no notes!

    One egg & bacon. Served with homestyle potatoes and one slice toast. Took the pic after I started eating!!!

    Local restaurant open for breakfast and lunch. We have only had breakfast there. The restaurant is always crowded which is a good sign. The good news is there is plenty of seating so we never have waited mute than a few minutes. A wide variety of menu items to choose from. I had a meal from the smaller appetite options. One egg, two slices of bacon, home style potatoes, and I slice of toast. All for about $10. The egg was cooked as I requested, and the bacon was perfectly crisp. The potatoes were a bit bland and very soft. Could have used higher flame when cooking to crisp them up a bit. Maybe I'll order hash browns next time. Service was quick and efficient.

    We have been here two times and it's our favorite local restaurant. The customer service is outstanding. The waitress Bobbie kept checking on us. I had the breakfast burrito. It was big and very tasty. The other time I was there, I had the pancakes, which were the best pancakes I ever had, buttey and fluffy; it came with bacon and eggs. My husband had the steak and eggs and he enjoyed them. We will definitely return often. On the weekdays you get served quickly on the weekend. It's quite busy, so be prepared to wait. The ambience is very family friendly. The best part about it is that everything is so clean. It might have a little bit of 90s decor, and it is outdated, but that's the point of cafés. Two thumbs up all around.

    Jumbo Breakfast with house fries.

    I've eaten here twice and had a good experience both times. The food was decent and so was the customer service. The restaurant was clean and comfy. I like the little aquarium and mini pond at the front. I don't have much else to add but I have no complaints.

    Jumbo Breakfast, Ortega chili w/ white American cheese omelet. Asked for crispy hash browns and boy did they deliver!!

    I was in the area for a job and passed this place and it looked cute. Decided to stop in for breakfast and am seriously so glad I did. As you walk up to the front, there's the sound of running water with a little pond full of the cutest critters, some red eared sliders, and some koi. Off to a pretty good start, this was refreshing. Upon entering, you're greeted by the staff in a very large and open setting, it's clean, and very nostalgic which I love. The staff looked happy to be there, lots of smiles and were talking to their guests like family, immediately started to feel at home. We were seated quickly in a nice comfy booth, and started to check out the menu. There's a little bit of something for everyone, but we went with some basics as you can see in the pictures. I liked that the menu had several items for the "less hungry" crowd, which I could very much appreciate. While we were waiting for our food, our server Leti passed by with some chicken noodle soup that the smell reminded me of a very near and dear soup I'd grown with. When I asked her about it, she even brought me a small little bowl to try it!!! That never happens, and it was literally the best I'd had since, so needless to say I brought home a large to-go amount for later. From beginning to end, Leti made us feel so welcomed and comfortable. Her customer service and attitude are out of this world, and for that we will actually be making the occasional drive out there from city of Orange, it was that nice of an experience. Thank you Leti, the staff, and the cooks for delivering such an amazing breakfast experience, we look forward to dining with you in the (not so distant) future.

    A friendly local cafe with good food and great service. Everyone is lovely and you get the feeling they truly care for their customers. Usually go for breakfast and everything is made to perfection.

    Steak Omellete with home fries, but already halfway gone, before I was able to take a picture.

The only issues with the food was the hash browns, which were completely unseasoned and not fully cooked. Also, the lobster omelette is tasty but you won't find much lobster in it. Prices are typical prices, but their portions are very generous compared to the price. I also like how large the dining area is and that there is decent space between tables. Not cramped like a lot of breakfast spots, which made it a more pleasant experience. Food: 4/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5

Their dishes are traditional yet have a unique take that makes them something you can only get at SeD Cocina. For example, the breakfast burrito had a garlic sauce in it that made this burrito something I really loved. The chilaquiles were yummy. Red salsa is smokier and green is tangy. As for the coffees, my party tried a horchata latte and a mocha (I believe) and an iced cafe de olla. All were amazing. the Horchata latte blew my mind though. It was more than just an horchata with coffee. The flavors worked so well together and it's been the best version of an horchata and coffee drink that I have tried, Try this local business out. I'm sure you will find one thing you like here.

She was craving a bean and cheese burrito and a bowl of menudo, while I had my heart set on the chilaquiles. We ordered online, picked everything up in about 30 minutes, and headed home. After one bite of the bean and cheese burrito, we both looked at each other and said, "Oh my God!" I'm usually not a big fan of bean and cheese burritos, but SeD completely changed my mind. It was packed with incredible flavor. My wife also loved her menudo. We were missing the usual onion, cilantro, and oregano on the side, but I'm not sure if I overlooked that option when ordering. It worked out because I shared some of the cilantro and onion from my chilaquiles. Speaking of the chilaquiles, they were exactly what I was craving. The tortilla chips had a great corn flavor, the green salsa was savory and delicious, and the meat added even more flavor. My only regret was not ordering extra eggs! It's a small spot in Upland, but the staff were hustling to keep up with the steady stream of orders. Even though they were busy, everyone was friendly and got me in and out quickly. After today, SeD Cocina has officially become our new favorite spot!

They advertise as having vegan food but she didn't know which ones were vegan. I got the avocado toast and the avocado spread looked a little brown. It was really overpriced too. The avocado toast was small and with the drink the total amount for my order was $20. While I was eating it, it tasted a little off. 30 min after eating it, I started getting stomach pains and later threw up in the restroom and continued to have the runs and threw up two more times after we left. When I told the cashier I think I ate something spoiled cus I threw up, she seemed really unbothered and I had to ask for a refund. Her coworker, instead of providing a refund, a young rude girl with stickers on her face, proceeded to give me attitude and blame it on my diet (?) because I ordered THEIR vegan avocado toast. She seemed suspicious of me saying their food made me sick. She also said she'd been working here for 4 years and never had issues with their avocado. Like I'm just telling her what happened.. but she felt the need to get defensive and blame it on me. Such rudeness and unprofessionalism instead of acknowledging that something may have gone wrong with the food, provide a remedy or offer an apology. The food didn't even taste that good and my friend wasn't impressed with his food either. Do these young people not understand the meaning of customer service? If not, don't work in customer service. Having basic decency and not acting like a brat would be a good start.

We opted for the alfajores, strawberry croissant, and warm ham and cheese croissant. First, the alfajores! Delicious, delicious, DELICIOUS! This wonderful South American dessert was properly made and HUGE. The filling and the outside cookie were both perfect -- the flavors felt like a symphony dancing across my tongue. Next, the strawberry croissant: a perfectly flaky pastry filled with creamy, smooth custard that had just the right amount of everything. It was like a dream. Third and finally, the ham and cheese croissant -- OMG! I don't remember ever having a ham and cheese croissant like this before. This was quite possibly the best one I've ever eaten. This little family-owned and operated bakery/coffeehouse is one of my favorites. I highly recommend that anyone passing through stop by and indulge -- and I don't mean a little... go all out and treat yourself! The staff were friendly and quick to assist both during and after ordering. The shop has a great vibe that makes you feel transported from the busy California city hustle to a charming small-town coffeehouse that's been around for 30 years. This is a must-visit spot for everyone!

I did have to drive the block twice to find parking, but locals know this spot pretty well so cars will be in and out of parking spaces in no time. On the plus side, by driving around the block, you will see other businesses and murals that you would want to check out once you visit Mestiza Coffeehouse. The coffeehouse is cashless, so be prepared to pay accordingly. Behind the counter are employees baking and barista-ing all aspects of this place. Upon placing your order be prepared to pick-up your order separately if you order a pastry and a beverage. Speaking of beverages, I ordered a Bees and Flowers...iced. As recommended by the barista. So good! For foods, I ordered a deliciously flaky Almond Croissant, that was topped with sliced almonds and powdered sugar and filled with their house-made almond paste. I highly recommend visiting Mestiza Coffeehouse and shop one of its many vendors of goods in the seating area.
