I was surprised the variety of options on the menu and the big shocker was a bakery inside the restaurant. Seating was quick Service was fast Environment was loaded with fun Server was friendly and nice Food came out at a decent time. Unfortunately the food didn't come out as expected. Examples: mozzarella sticks came out uncooked and frozen inside. Eggs came out sunny side but ordered well done sunny side. Overall, the experience definitely worst coming and dining. We had a great time!

The Pancakes - there was something off with the taste...can't really put my finger on it but it just didn't taste like a pancake.

After weeks of seeing Loaded Cafe plastered all over social media, we decided it would be the perfect place to celebrate two milestones: my youngest daughter's high school graduation and my oldest daughter's birthday. Spoiler alert: the celebrations were great. The restaurant was not. We arrived right at 10:00 a.m. and quickly learned that being on time was apparently our first mistake. We stood waiting to be seated while the staff seemed far more invested in helping create Instagram content than helping actual customers. At one point I started wondering if we needed a ring light and a photographer just to get a table. When we were finally acknowledged, they seemed prepared to play a game of "Let's See Where We Can Fit Them." Before being tucked into an already over-crowded section, we asked if we could have one of the larger tables with both booth seating and chairs. They accommodated us, but after waiting around to be noticed in the first place, it felt like we had somehow become participants in our own seating strategy meeting. Then came the complimentary conchas. Listen, I love free food. But these looked less like a welcome gift and more like a witness protection program for yesterday's pastries. We received one large concha and two small ones for a party of four. Nothing says hospitality quite like making your guests do pastry math before breakfast. The menus looked like they had survived multiple breakups, two natural disasters, and at least one custody battle. Coffee took about 15 minutes to arrive. When it finally made its grand entrance, it arrived without cream. After asking for some, I was handed a bowl of creamers that appeared to have been borrowed from another table and was literally dripping with used creamer. I wasn't sure if I should pour it into my coffee or file a health report. We ordered the asada fries and discovered that asking for both green salsa and mild red salsa required paying extra. Apparently we're living in an economy where salsa has become a luxury item. Sour cream was extra too, which would have been fine if it had arrived before we had already eaten half the fries. By the time it finally showed up, the remaining fries had entered their cold-food era. The lone champion of the meal was the pambazo sliders. They looked considerably less glamorous than their Instagram photos, but unlike most of what we ordered, they actually tasted fantastic. Congratulations to the pambazo sliders for carrying the entire restaurant on their tiny little backs. Now let's talk about the burgers. My youngest daughter ordered the "Deluxe Burger." I would love to meet the person who named it because there was absolutely nothing deluxe about it. The burger was so overcooked it had the texture and personality of a hockey puck. If there was a deluxe feature, we never found it. My mom ordered the Chicken Bacon Griller but substituted the chicken for a burger patty because she wanted the sourdough bread instead of a basic burger bun. It was actually a pretty smart idea. Unfortunately, the burger patty arrived so overcooked that most of it remained untouched on the plate. The sourdough deserved a better co-star. The birthday girl ordered a pancake combo and described it as "okay," which may have been the most enthusiastic review given at our table all morning. We also ordered a stack of pancakes that somehow managed to be completely forgettable. They weren't bad. They weren't good. They simply existed. If beige had a flavor, that was probably it. The few times staff checked on us, we mentioned the burgers. Their response could best be described as professional indifference. Then they disappeared again. No refills. No water. No follow-up. No "How can we make this right?" Just a magical vanishing act worthy of a Vegas residency. The final insult came when my high school graduate didn't receive the complimentary graduation dessert we'd seen promoted on Instagram, while the birthday girl received her cake. Don't get me wrong, my daughter deserved her birthday treat. But if you're going to advertise celebrations, maybe celebrate all of them. By the time the bill arrived, we ended up spending $110 and were actively discussing where to go next for food that might actually be edible. I'll admit it. Once I'm hooked by the online buzz, I have to see for myself. Unfortunately, Loaded Cafe ended up being a perfect example of how a restaurant can look like a five-star experience on Instagram and end up being a one-star experience in real life. Loaded Cafe looks amazing online but in real life it was a total buzz kill. Loaded Cafe may be loaded with followers, but our experience was loaded with frustration.

I honestly hate having to write this review, but I would hate it even more if someone else had the same experience I did. I ordered the Crunchy Asada Chilaquiles, which are advertised as one of their best sellers. When the dish arrived, the chilaquiles did not look appetizing at all, but I tried not to judge based on appearance alone. Unfortunately, the taste matched the presentation. I'm a huge chilaquiles fan and try them everywhere I can, and sadly these were the worst I've had. The ingredients just didn't work well, and the flavors were unpleasant enough that I couldn't finish the meal. I also ordered a Mazapan Latte and I couldn't finish that either. The latte tased like straight milk with creamer, no hint of Mazapan. What made the experience even more disappointing was something that happened during our visit. I dined here on January 7, just a few days after Día de los Reyes. When we walked in, I noticed every table had a rosca de reyes, which I love. I assumed it was either something you could order or perhaps a complimentary item. Our table was given a small basket of mini pan dulce, so I thought maybe that had replaced the rosca for the day. However, shortly after we sat down, another table was seated and they were served a rosca. I asked them if they had ordered it or if it was complimentary, and they told me it was complimentary. At that point I realized our table had not been offered the same thing. I want to be clear that I can't say with certainty why this happened, but it left me feeling uncomfortable and wondering if assumptions were made about our table. I'm a light-complexioned Mexican dining with a Caucasian friend, and it felt strange that we were the only table not offered the same specialty item during a cultural holiday. WE WERE BEING DISCRIMINATED! How is it that us, the only table with Caucasian-presenting appearance were the only table that were given mini pan Dulce (the regular complimentary appetizer) instead of the specialty Rosca De Reyes all the other tables with Hispanic-appearing-guests were served. That does not sit right with me. DO NOT MAKE ASSUMPTIONS BASED ON APPEARANCES. I may seem Caucasian but I am 100% Mexican and I love Rosca De Reyes, and wanted my friend to try a Rosca, so I asked another server (ours was on break) if we too could have a Rosca and he brought one out to us. Because of the food and this experience, I don't see myself returning. I will say, however, that the bakery located in the back of the restaurant is cute and offers pastries that looked quite tasty.

The food was good service was horrible. And it felt that we were not the patrons they wanted in their restaurant as the table directly next to us came after us and got seated and served in a shorter time then us and service was friendly unlike our table. Food was good. And the cafe and sweets amazing which explains the screaming children I heard throughout my experience the vibe was end of the day at a daycare. I loved the matcha and wanted to try more of the baked goods...buuuuut not sure they want me or my family or people who share my phenotype there so there's that...

Came in to Loaded Café for a late breakfast with my daughter. This location splits its facility with Panecito, a Mexican bakery, which is located towards the back. Loaded itself only has inside seating with a modest amount of booths and booth/table combos. Staffing seemed to be minimal, but everyone was friendly and accommodating. They checked on us regularly to ask how the food was and to provide refills on our drinks. My daughter ordered the crunchy asada chilaquiles and I ordered their strawberry almond cheesecake crepes as a combo (adding eggs, hashbrowns, and sausage). The flavor for the chilaquiles was perfect, but the meat was on the chewy side. The combo portion of my meal was standard and hit the spot. We ended up sharing the crepes, which were a nice, dessert-like finish to our meal. The crepes were perfectly prepared with a decent amount of strawberries, cheesecake drizzle, sliced almonds, and whipped cream. Coke fans be aware, only Pepsi products are served here :(

Great location, good service, & delicious food. Had to take my kids to have some breakfast in between there basketball games. The kids ordered their pancakes, crepes, & stuffed french toasts. All was delicious. Great spot for family breakfast.

Mixed review here... the host who welcomed us was so friendly and happy - which, is always appreciated! We were told it would be a 10 minute wait, but we ended up being sat almost immediately after we put our name down. The place itself is kind of muggy and a little warm inside, but it's a classic diner. We were given free bread as an appetizer and needed a couple minutes to look over the menu. We put our order in and got to chatting... Realizing 45 minutes had gone by, we still didn't have food and had drank all of our water, with no server in sight. Our food finally came after our server initially brought out the wrong order. We ordered a scramble and the chilaquiles. The chips and cheese on the chilaquiles were so burnt! It looked like it had been under the heat lamp for quite some time. The veggie scramble was actually very tasty and I was so thankful because of how long it took to get it. I would definitely eat that again however, I probably won't go back to this place just because of how long everything took. Over an hour and a half for a simple breakfast... pass.

Chilaquiles with mild green sauce and sunny side up eggs and refried beans

I tried Loaded Cafe after seeing Instagram raves about this being the Mexican Denny's. I found my experience there to be just okay. They serve small sweet conches for their bread basket. The food is flavorful, which was always a plus. The music is at an annoying volume because we were under a speaker, so we ended up moving to another table which was helpful. The service was okay, but the price seemed high for what we got. I think your experience depends greatly on how much you are willing to overspend.

I went to this cafe with high hopes based off the reviews but was sadly let down, when i ordered my meal I substituted my hash browns for country potatoes for an extra $2 which I expected to have seasoned potatoes with bell peppers and onions because usually they have them but I was given a sad and dry breakfast . service was okay , overall a bit disappointed.:(

Jose was a great server and the food was amazing! I got the menudo and it was great and my husband got pancakes and they were so good!

Great pancakes, overcooked eggs, average bacon

Rick L.

No wait for B fast during the week, but it gets crowded on weekends. Seems to be a younger crowd in the diner"esque" place. While lots of items are $15+ we opted for the weekday special menu. Two nice conchas (baked good) complimentary were a nice touch. Breakfasts are huge, kind of pricey. Pancakes, eggs w bacon was good ($12.99?). Pancakes were fluffy and delicious. Eggs OM were way over cooked, yoke stuck on whites. Bacon just average nothing special. French toast in the value menu was delicious as well. Also a Mexican bakery on site with lots of fresh choices.

After much thought the best way to describe this is a Mexican American dinner. It does not give cafe vibes. The food is okay , I tried the chilaquiles with chicken. The chilaquiles have cheese , sauce and hash browns on the side. I want to note chilaquiles plates do not come with any toppings like sour cream , pico de gallo etc hence why this "cafe" gives dinner vibes. This restaurant does not go the extra mile with the plates that are being served or with its service. The service was okay our waitress just took our order , delivered the food and we didn't see her again until it was time to pay. I didn't even get offered a refill on my coffee. If you're looking for quick food and okay service then I would recommend this place. But if you're looking for a brunch , cafe vibe this is not the place. I do want to note , their complementary concha's are delicious!

After seeing this pop up on recommendations in what to do in Placentia, I am so glad I came in! I came in early and was seated immediately. Alex took care of me, gave amazing service. I think I got the classic breakfast with a side of hash browns. Food was so good. Price is really great too. Super happy with this place!!!

The restaurant was clean, the restroom needs to be deep cleaned. The free mini conchas was nice. I ordered a bean and cheese burrito and they gave me a beef burrito. I told the waiter, who was not our original waitress, that it was fine I just wanted to make sure that I wasn't taking somebody else's order. He offered to make the bean and cheese burrito and for me to keep the beef burrito and I said no it's fine. The burrito was delicious, everything we ate was delicious. Our waitress never came back to check on us, didn't bring us our check or boxes, I had to ask someone else to do that. Our waitress was very rude I'm assuming because of the burrito incident which I did not make a big deal about. read more

Loaded Cafe serves great traditional American cuisine with a Mexican twist to it! All their items are loaded and will leave you feeling stuffed! My favorite item was their strawberry banana Nutella crepes and the Super Stacker! We ordered the Super Stacker, Little Piggy, Strawberry banana Nutella crepes, and Sweet Strawberry Almond Cream Cheesecake waffles. Super Stacker: came with 2 Scrambled eggs mixed with greens, bell pepper and onion blend, spinach topped with swiss cheese, chicken strips, mushrooms and hollandaise sauce with a side of hashbrown. Little Piggy: came with 2 eggs any style, hashbrowns, 2 pork bacon strips, 2 pork sausages ,2 ham strips and 2 buttermilk pancakes. Strawberry banana Nutella crepes: the crepe had a nice texture and the Nutella paired nicely with the whipped cream and fruits Sweet Strawberry Almond Cream Cheesecake waffles: an interesting flavor that was a bit too sweet for me. The waffles weren't as crispy as I'd like. They have a wide variety of items perfect for any meal whether it be breakfast, lunch, or dinner. I definitely recommend trying their crepes and coming here for a great meal! read more

Great lattes, pancakes were the best I've ever had, and our server who was training was awesome! The portions were HUGE and it was good diner food. Just a heads up, they will charge you for a side of sauce which was not disclosed to us, but we now know for next time! They brought a warm latte made with the wrong milk, then brought out the right latte five minutes later without saying it. They fixed it without us needed to say anything. The free conchas were the best ever, and I've had quite a few growing up with Hispanic relatives. Would come again! read more

I recently visited Loaded Cafe and ordered their Veggie scrambled eggs, expecting a decent, reasonably priced breakfast. Instead, I was hit with a string of surprise charges that pushed my total to over $20--and that didn't even include a drink. First, they added a service fee just for using a card, which already felt like a cheap move. Then came an "egg fee"--on an omelette, no less--followed by an extra charge for adding canned jalapeños. These aren't premium ingredients, yet every little addition came with a price tag. For a no-meat, basic veggie plate, the cost was excessive. The food itself was just average, definitely not worth the hassle or the hidden fees. I also had to ask for a water cup for three times . I have them three stars because they give you a complimentary mini concha and it was pretty good. read more

Extremely disappointed with this spot. I been coming to the cafecito spot and trying there concha's with there great and customer service is amazing. Today I decided to give it a try at loaded cafe, we thought we will get free concha's how they said and we got this crappy brown bread. Server name Julio was totally rude and bad customer service. We ask him about the concha's and he was like that's all we have and if we wanted some to get up and go ask the cafecito spot. Honestly his customer service is what cause the bad experience. As we are living all customers are getting the small concha's left and right. I will not comeback or recommended this place at all read more

I have been driving by for awhile seeing this place and been wanting to try it. It was delicious. I had the breakfast burrito and the sauce was delicious, the beans were silky and the hash browns crispy. All perfect. The server was super friendly and greeted me with a pan dulce upon seating. It was pretty slow when I got here, it was quiet, the place is really clean too. I would definitely bring the family back to try it.

They were understaffed and slow service. The booth we sat at was dirty with food on it and got some on my hand when I went to sit down...So Gross! The fork was dirty that my husband received. They didn't come around to give refills on coffee. Me and my husband both ordered green chilaquiles but his with the asada. His asada was cold to the touch. The green sauce was so disgusting looked like a yellow fluorescent color with tiny red and green bell pepper pieces in it. Not any chilaquiles sauce I've ever seen or tasted before, was almost slimy texture. My husband didn't even finish his plate and he always eats everything. The Only thing that was good were the 2 complimentary chonchas of pan dulce. I would never go there again. read more

Really not good. I had high hopes, but the food is truly overpriced for what it is. The menu is shady and features only "cash" prices, but beware of an additional credit card service fee on top of tax. We really wanted to like the menudo, but couldn't get past the piping hot soup being served in a thin plastic bowl. Hard to justify, especially when there are so many other places nearby that serve more authentic menudo for less. All the other food was equally underwhelming. The crepes were actually soggy and tasted really egg-y to the point where they made me feel nauseous. Even the coffee was bitter and overpriced again at almost $5 for a tiny cup. Oddly enough, the restaurant is overstaffed, but not in a positive way, as it feels like the staff is watching you moreso than trying to serve you. Definitely an unsettling experience. read more

I was greeted by a smiling server (sorry did not get his name) and was seated right away. He brought me a menu and my piping hot coffee which was a little strong for my liking but with extra creamer it worked. They have an extensive menu from crepes to salads and more. I was looking for breakfast choices and they have some sweet choices to make from a value meal section. I ordered their classic breakfast 2 perfect over medium eggs, perfect crispy hash browns & 2 sausages. For anyone who is looking for a hearty breakfast , they have lots to choose from!

I hadn't found a great restaurant until my husband found loaded cafe! This is the spot if you like Conchas! They serve you complimentary Conchas so you can enjoy with your coffee. The food is delicious; the drinks are amazing; they have a great variety of horchata, marzapan etc, lattes or just by the pitcher of horchata and others too. The place is great the food is bomb and the service is awesome. They have a mix of Mexican food plus they also have American food as well. Can't recommend this place enough read more

1st time ever going and probably last. Food was below average and lack seasoning. I appreciated the waiters honesty with question which sauce has more flavor red or green and she just laughed and said neither.Prices were decent for "speciality cafe" and most places prices are going up.

Free concha pan-there's a reason it's free, there're hard Kids pancake(no fully cooked too mushy) with 1egg and 2 bacon strip Dulce de Leche stuffed French toast combo (under only outer side of toast was heated lightly leaving inside texture mushy) with eggs unseasoned and hash-browns (decent) 2 Chicken enchiladas red with rice and beans (lacked flavor all around would not recommend . rice and beans is general for all restaurant reheats that's ok read more

The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with the feel of a neighborhood spot. It's a small, busy place, but the staff made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The service was excellent--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our drinks were great, the beer was ice cold on a hot day, and our food arrived promptly. One downside was the noise level. The music was extremely loud for such a small space, especially on a Saturday afternoon. It made it difficult to have a conversation with our server or even with each other. I could understand that vibe later in the evening, but during lunch it felt excessive. Unfortunately, the biggest disappointment was the French dip. It was honestly one of the worst I've had in quite some time. With so many restaurants serving great French dips and Italian beef sandwiches these days, this one fell far short of expectations. The meat was tough, rubbery, and had a bologna-like texture and flavor that was very off-putting. Considering the price, it was especially disappointing. I've honestly had better French dips from fast-food restaurants. Overall, Tony's earns high marks for hospitality, service, and drinks, but the loud music and disappointing French dip kept the experience from thinking about returning.

Upon entering the establishment today, I anticipated a wait due to it being a weekend. Following a 20-minute wait, our server greeted us and provided attentive service. However, my review is based on the prices and food quality. I ordered the birria tacos, which unfortunately did not meet my expectations. The meat contained excessive fat and had an unusual taste, suggesting the use of low-quality meat. Additionally, I ordered a cheeseburger with fries, but the meat was not cooked to my desired level of doneness. I also found the onion ring burger to lack flavor. Our total bill came out to be $70 for three meals, two orange juices, and one lemonade. Notably, the complimentary conchitas served before our meal arrived were the highlight of our dining experience. Given the prices, I expected a higher standard of food quality. Consequently, I do not plan to return. read more

I've visited this place several times, and while the food is generally good, there's a recurring issue that's hard to overlook. Every dish I've tried has arrived at the table cold, even though the plate itself is hot. This suggests a delay between when the food is ready and when it's served, which is simply unacceptable. The service is friendly and attentive, but it seems there needs to be better coordination with the kitchen to ensure that orders are served promptly while the food is still hot. It's disappointing because the quality of the food deserves better presentation. Overall, it's a place with potential, but they need to address this issue to make the dining experience truly enjoyable. read more

I decided to give Loaded Cafe a try on two separate occasions, and unfortunately, both visits were far from pleasant. On the second visit, we ordered the red and green chilaquiles, but they were, to put it mildly, a mess. The flavors were off, and the presentation felt careless. The service didn't help either. Our server Jose P. seemed to be in a rush, barely acknowledging us, and it took ages for our coffee to arrive. To add to the frustration, it appeared they selectively decide who gets the complimentary sweet bread basket, something we didn't receive despite seeing other tables with it. After two tries, I'm not interested in coming back. There are far better breakfast options in the area. read more

Loaded Cafe - Placentia 131 N Kraemer Blvd, Placentia, CA If you're craving a breakfast spot that doesn't hold back, Loaded Cafe lives up to its name. The chilaquiles plate with asada packs a flavorful punch, and the Nutella waffle is a sweet dream come true. Bonus points for the warm conchas they hand out--unexpected and delightful!

First time here and I surprisingly good. We were with a party of 8 and we're seated right away, and attended by our server Ruby. She was efficient and friendly. Our food came out fast and she was quick with the coffee refills. I recommend Loaded Cafe. read more

What a find! Great breakfast and the Mexican food is a nice change from our regular hangouts. I just saw the $6 weekday menu. I'm excited to try some of them this week for lunch. Our server Josefina was very nice and prompt! read more
