    Stacker and Strawberry Almond Cream Cheesecake Pancake
    Kathy Z.

    A delicious diner for breakfast and brunch with American and Latin fusion dishes - hearty and hits the spot every time. These plates are big enough to share, honestly. Choose from pancakes, crepes, burritos, quesadillas, stackers, fajitas, eggs, bacon and more. This place is ideal for larger groups, solo visits, or dates. There is only inside seating available. Prices are comparable to an IHOP or Denny's, or perhaps a bit more. I am a big fan of the hashbrowns, crepes, bacon, and strawberry pancakes. A bit salty and a little greasy, but that's to be expected when enjoying a filling breakfast. Don't forget the drinks! The Iced Latte with oat milk and horchata sweetener does it for me every time. Yes, it gets busy, and it gets loud. This is a family-friendly spot with lots of happy patrons. Expect a bit of a wait during peak weekend hours. Free parking is available in the lot.

    Brioche French Toast Combo
    Hugo S.

    It's been a few months since we last tried loaded cafe, and I'm sorry to say this place fell off hard. My pancakes were the worst pancakes I have ever tasted!!!! EVER!!! They had the worst artificial taste I've ever tasted on any product. I'll put it to you this way McDonald's has better pancakes. The pancakes used to be fluffy with a nice crispy edge to them. They fell flat today. My wife's French toast were good but her eggs were somehow cold. What is going on here... we couldn't catch a break today. Even the couple behind us who ordered a smoothie did not enjoy it. Another thing I must point out is the slow service. We weren't acknowledged upon entering and were about to leave when someone finally came and spoke to us. When we received our food we quickly realized we didn't have forks or knives. We were waiting for our waitress who was supposed to bring us more coffee so we could ask for utensils but she never did so I had to get up and ask another employee in the kitchen for some utensils. Don't get me wrong our waitress was super nice but considering it was slow we were left scratching our heads as to the slow service. Perhaps one of the reasons that service was slow was because we could hear the wait staff messing around and cursing in the kitchen. I really don't think that was professional at all. On top of that it's quite loud in there so don't expect a relaxed environment. If I could bring back the manager that was there before I would because he had things running like a clock. Such a shame to say that we won't be back ever..

    Complimentary pan dulce from next door's My Panecito bakery
    Kris G.

    Loaded Cafe says everything with its name - the food is LOADED up! This may be what Willy Wonka would create if he was interested in having his own breakfast restaurant. Yes, I know there are non-breakfast items on the menu, but this really is a sugar-fest spot. And I loved it all! Started with complimentary mini pan dulce that is supplied from the bakery next door, My Panecito. I absolutely recommend getting the hot horchata latte, or a standard coffee if you just must, to enjoy the pan dulce with. Nothing starts the morning off better than a hot drink & fresh pan dulce, mmm... I could not help but order the Caramel Churro Stuffed French Toast! This delicious, and possible diabetes inducing, choice was simply LOADED with sugary sweetness. The brioche bread was gently cooked to perfection and not at all soggy as I was concerned it could be. The sweet cream stuffing and caramel drizzle on top made me feel like a kid again, happily enjoying an outrageously sweet meal that my father used to treat me to on special occasions decades ago. My husband chose the Sausage Breakfast Burrito. He mentioned that the sausage to egg to hash-brown ratio was perfect. The cheddar and jack cheese added a gooey enjoyment along with the bell pepper/onion blend, encased in a perfectly browned flour tortilla. Alas, he had a classic coffee as a beverage, so no huge review from him on that point, though he seemed to enjoy it since he had two cups. I will say that the restaurant overall felt a bit "crowded" in the space. No, it wasn't the amount of patrons, but just felt as if it needed a bigger space. The staff also seemed a bit overwhelmed on that day, with our server not being available to assist a few times. Dealbreaker? Not at all. Perhaps they were just short staffed that day. Overall, I do look forward to returning for my next meal to try a new breakfast specialty, perhaps the crepes that looked wonderful.

    Churro
    Zan L.

    Stopped in for my first time for breakfast this last week and it won't be my last. This place is known for giant portions and they really do have a great selection of American and Mexican breakfast options. It was very crowded when we stopped in Saturday morning for brunch, but the tables seem to turn quickly so we only had to wait about 5 minutes. Inside is pretty large, they have many different types of seating from tables to booth. Our server was very polite and everything that we ordered came out very fast. One thing about this place as they have a giant menu. It will take some time to choose what you want because they honestly have a ton of options. They also have a large free parking lot attached in front so parking is really easy. For this first visit, I chose one of their most popular dishes, which was the Crunchy Asada Chilaquiles. It's basically like the other version but without beans and the egg is scrambled. The steak was pretty good, although a bit too fatty, but it was still seasoned well and overall I enjoyed it. We also ordered a Churro on the side and that too was very nice. This is more of a cheat meal kind of place, they don't have a ton of healthy options, so may not be the best for someone on a strict diet, but for others it is still worth visiting because it is honestly that good.

    Concha!

    10/10--exactly what my soul needed on a Sunday. The dessert window was the first thing that caught my eye (I wanted one of everything). The place was busy but not too loud or overstimulating, which made for a really enjoyable brunch experience. The menu offers classic American and Mexican breakfast options, and the best surprise was being served a warm concha while waiting for our food, such a thoughtful touch. Our waitress, Rennie, was warm, kind, and hardworking. This might be one of my new favorite brunch spots. Can't wait to come back--thank you, Rennie!

    Concha

    Got the Basic Combo ($14.49) and a Coffee ($4.29). Pretty good breakfast. The pancakes were fluffy. The hash browns were crispy. The bacon was thin and crispy. The eggs were nicely scrambled. The coffee was a medium roast. You also get a complimentary Concha (sweet bread). The Concha was warm and had a nice cinnamon taste. The staff was very friendly and exhibited great teamwork. Different members would refill your coffee, check on your order and clear your table. The only odd thing was sitting in the adjacent booths. If the person sitting behind you is moving a lot, you will definitely feel the thumping from the movement. LCR shares an adjacent parking lot with El Super Market. When I left LCR around 10:00 on Saturday, the parking lot was almost full.

    Food was delicious and well prepared. Our server Ramon was friendly and efficient. Ordered the original breakfast and machaca plate. Interesting that's pancakes aren't served with butter unless requested as they are made with butter.First time I've seen a creamer for coffee that wasn't international brand , made by Brighton farms

    This was my second time at this location, and I've been to other spots in the area, but no one beats the service here. Mayra was our server this morning and she was seriously the best! She was so attentive, kind, and accommodating the entire time. Our food came out exactly the way we ordered it, and everything was perfect. Also don't sleep on the red chilaquiles. They're literally the reason I keep coming back. They have a little spicy kick, but they're so flavorful and still stay nice and crunchy. On top of that, the restaurant is always clean, spacious, and comfortable. I genuinely love coming here and will definitely be back again.

    Mom and pop chain and it is delightful! So delicious and fresh food anytime you go. Yadira is our server and I absolutely love sitting in her section, but the entire team are good people and provide great service. The restaurant is spacious enough for large groups. The iced coffee is tasty if you prefer a light coffee flavor. The pancakes are nice and fluffy. Give them a try, you won't regret it!

They started us off with chips, salsa, and a bean dip, which was a nice touch and something I don't see everywhere. I went with the two-item combo enchilada plate with shredded chicken and shredded beef, served with rice and beans. The portion size was very good - definitely satisfying - and the enchiladas were exactly what I was hoping for. This is comfort food for me, and this plate delivered. We also ordered the carnitas plate and the chile colorado, both served with rice and beans. The chile colorado had good flavor overall and was enjoyable. The carnitas had good flavor, though the texture was a bit inconsistent. Some pieces were tender, while others felt slightly overcooked or dry, which made a few bites less satisfying than they could've been. The salsa was good - not the best I've ever had, but flavorful and a nice complement to the food. Service was friendly, they took our order quickly, and the food came out fast. They were busy, so there was a slight delay at times, but still attentive when we needed them. Parking is mostly street parking, and when we went there was space available, though you may have to walk a little bit depending on the time. Overall, the portion size and value stood out to me. This is a solid, comforting Mexican spot, and I'd come back.

First, just like most casual Mexican restaurants you are greeted with house made salsa and chips to snack on while you study the menus for your meal. The salsa is very fresh and the chips are not, thank goodness, over salted. It's a perfect starter! I enjoyed the meal option of four chicken flautas with rice, beans, and perfectly portioned guacamole and sour cream. You are able to make your own choice of meat stuffing, which I love, knowing that the flautas are freshly made. I chose to have chicken and found it to be perfectly fried, not overly seasoned, which some places do. I like that you can actually taste the chicken and not just spice. I also had the horchata to drink, and I loved it! The service is wonderful, with many families flocking to the restaurant for that homemade feel for dinner. The staff has always been kind enough to offer a refill of your drink/soda to go if you wish. Kindness from the staff is a real highlight of Raul's. The ambiance of being at home is a plus for me. There are a few handicap parking spots available in the small adjoined parking lot, with easy wheelchair access through the front door.
