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.

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

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!!!

Came here for breakfast/lunch. My buddy and I stood at the front counter for about 10 minutes waiting to be seated. Several employees walked past us several times without even acknowledging us. The funny thing is they looked straight at us without even a simple "good morning" or even "I'm sorry, we'll be right with you." We were finally approached by a lady in black and we told her we've been waiting for about 10 minutes. She said, "I'm sorry but we're cleaning tables right now" and then just walked away. Waited a couple more minutes and then just left. Horrible customer service. read more

Highlights: Horrible service Overpriced sub-par food We had two free kids meal vouchers and wanted to give this place a try as a family. Overall, unlikely to return due to bad service and sub-par food for the price. The service: Brought my family over to dine in for breakfast. Wife asked server for kids coloring/activity paper mat and our server forgot. Had to grab it from the front ourselves. Server needs to recognize this is a given for kids. I asked for a knife when my meal came. The server didn't return with knife and never came back to check on us. When paid in cash the server didn't give us the remaining cents owed back, only the dollar bills rounded in their favor. To go boxes were provided on request but server wasn't courteous to provide a bag to carry out. The food: chilaquiles omelette: chilaquiles itself tasted good. Was nice and hot but chips could've been crispier. Steak tasted like marinated with A1 sauce...Tasted ok but not really expected... and caramelized onions were not caramelized, still on the raw side. Veggie plate omelette: broccoli was not trimmed and had black ends...not visually appetizing. Kids strawberry cheesecake combo: amount of scrambled egg(s) was sparse. Must be using smaller size eggs? I have never seen such a meager portion of scrambled eggs even for kids. Pancake looked fluffy and big so I'll give them that. Section of the table had syrup residue hardened from what looked like a rushed attempt to wet wipe the table. Miscellaneous: No baby changing table in restroom. Dining area we were placed barely had space for our stroller in the aisle but was awkward because servers had to squeeze by the stroller to reach other tables. Price was $42.38 for two meals cash, we had vouchers for free kids meal. Way overpriced since I can get more value for same price elsewhere. I get that this is american/mexican diner quality food, so I didn't have high expectations but the experience was sorely underwhelming. A lot of basic expectations were broken here and needs to be fixed in the future. Otherwise, unlikely for our family to return. read more

Large menu that looked interesting. The people in my party liked their food. I wish they had gluten free options. The waiter said they had nothing that was gluten free. I had a berry smoothie. My 3 stars are because our coffee, water, and soda were never refilled. Nobody came by to clear off dishes. Four people were given 4 forks, no knives and two napkins. The waiter didn't come by to see how we were doing until we we wanted to leave. Had to ask the hostess to get the waiter so we could ask dir the check. They seemed to be well staffed, but slow service and nobody was bussing the tables, which made the wait longer than needed. The staff was friendly. read more

Came here for breakfast with my boyfriend to try something new. Their menu had a variety of Mexican inspired breakfast favorites along with most of the classic breakfast combos. It was a clean atmosphere and the free concha's prior to ordering were delicious! He ordered the classic breakfast burrito and I got the Chilaquiles. For a restaurant with the name "Loaded cafe" their portions were anything BUT loaded. I wish I would have taken a photo but his $16.99 burrito was smaller than a Del taco Epic burrito and NOT very loaded. My Chilaquiles were $22 came with hash browns but the hash browns took up most of the plate. The portion of chilaquiles was only about 1/3. We only got waters and no extra breakfast sides. However, my boyfriend asked for a side of sour cream which we got charged extra for without our knowledge and I asked if the steak in my chilaquiles could be substituted for beans and got charged and extra 2.99. With that being said paying almost $50 for this meal seemed so far fetched it had us flabbergasted. Knowing that there were other diners that had the same meal for a better price and MUCH better portions had us regretting our decision to try something new. On top of that our server wasn't very friendly or welcoming nor did she explain the extra charges. If you're a fan of breakfast and love those diner type portions I would be cautious spending your money here. If you don't care much about price or portion and want a fusion breakfast then you might enjoy what they have to offer. read more

You know that feeling when you walk in a restaurant skeptical but turns out to be the best decision you could've made and makes your entire day!!! Yeah, this is how I feel right now after my first time @Loaded Cafe. My dtrs and I pulled up to the parking lot and questioned ourselves "does this place look like it's going to be good?" From the outside looks very boring and below average, but who knew it holds a treasure inside. As soon as you walk in the experience begins. Cute little cakes displayed, sure to get your mouth watering. As soon as you're seated your server greets you with conchas (sweet bread). We tried 5 different plates on their menu and none disappointed!!!!! Their Pambazo is finger liking good. It's spicy but not too spicy, just enough to awaken your taste buds. And to top it all off.. first timers get to take home one of those cute little cakes at the front. DO NOT LEAVE without trying their Hibiscus Strawberry Agua Fresca. It's a little sweet, just add a little more water and uuuuhhh so so good!! I wish I could keep this place a secret for my girls and I but it's so good not to be shared with others read more

Several people in my family recommend this place. It was so disappointing. I got the red chilaquiles they came with beans and 2 eggs ($1 extra for any plates that have eggs) the chips for the chilaquiles were stale and the beans were burnt! My husband got the loaded steak and eggs and the steak was drenched in soy sauce, only had 2 mushrooms. The food overall is really terrible. My husband did like the conchita that they bring when you arrive which is the hype about this place. read more

If zero stars were a possibility, that's what I would give. I found out about this place through social media and I sent it to our friends and we all met up on a Saturday afternoon. The host quoted our party of 8 30 min and we left our number. After the quoted 30 minutes and no text, we checked to see how much longer and the host told us another 15 minutes.... After 20 minutes we checked again and the host tells us that they don't have our name on the list!! After an awkward few minutes of trying to figure out what to do with the situation, they got us a big booth in the back. Our server greeted us quickly and took our whole order. We ordered a mixture of coffees and shakes and waters for the table. The waters never came and all of our drinks came at different times. And there were no conchas! *side note- they charged us an extra $1 per plate due to the egg situation Our food came out, still no conchas....7 out of 8 plates came out and then they told us that the last plate was sold out and if we could order something else. My husbands biscuits and gravy were cold and dry and looked like it had been under the warmer for a while. He asked for extra gravy to try and salvage it but we never received it. Also, our server tried dropping off wrong plates at our table multiple times... like didn't you take our order?! We saw a different server walking around with plates of conchas so we asked for some and she was surprised we never received any. Everyone else ate and were almost done and our friend still didn't have her food, so we cancelled that. We originally wanted pastries from the bakery but we were already so frustrated with the whole experience. After paying and heading out the door, my husband forgot his glasses and went back and on his way out they handed him a bag of food saying he forgot it but it wasn't ours... why is everyone giving us random food? Safe to say I wouldn't recommend this place read more

First time here since it's convenient and local. Tried the Honey Lemon Crepes, side of hash browns and Machaca Breakfast Burrito. Our favorite was the crepes, they were crispy and soft in the center. Hash browns were solid. The burrito was fine, nothing to praise or complain about, but I think there's better items on the menu. Services was fast and friendly. Staff is attentive and accommodating. We would come back here to try their other crepes and pancakes. read more

This place is A little Small but has a great kick to it! So it makes up for it! I love going to places for their sweet breakfasts, usually anything that has Nutella or chocolate. I took a look at their menu and their lunch menu looked great as well. Although I came here to try the concha Nutella French toast I ended up getting their omelet chilaquiles plate with carne asada! Check out the plate. Looks pretty, tasted a lot better. So I'd like to say I am a chicken when it comes to spicy food. I skipped the part that they were red chilaquiles which normally are spicier than the green, well I had to suck it up and eat them anyway. They were pretty hot but nothing I couldn't handle. I was still a decent magician and made them disappear! So we were here to celebrate my friend's birthday. She ordered the crepes and those were delicious. My son ordered the appetizer plate and he loved it! Now for the surprise birthday treat the ladies there surrounded our table and sang happy birthday to my friend and brought their Famous concha Nutella French toast! Although I had passed on them for lunch I still got to taste them as we shared the birthday dessert and guess what, they didn't disappoint one bit! I WILL DEFINITELY BE COMING HERE ON OUR WAY TO THE BEACH! Ps. I almost forgot they bring you mini Conchita while you look at the menu and they're warm like they just came out the oven! Yum! Come check this place out! I definitely recommend it! Their asada has great flavor too and you don't find that often anymore! Let me know what you think if you try this place out or recommend new plates! read more

Loaded Cafe just opened here in Placentia! It took over the former IHOP, located at Chapman and Kraemer. The menu is extensive and parking is available in a large lot. I selected the Nopales and Eggs, with flour tortillas and a side of sour cream. The items were hot, delicious, and plentiful. I wish them the best of luck here in the city I call home. The ribbon cutting is set for 10:00 AM today, through the Chamber of Commerce. read more

The ingredients, textures, and flavors were all paired very nicely in each dish we tried. The presentation of every dish we had was immaculate and really elevated the experience (see pics/videos). LONG VERSION: We started with a few slices of French bread that came out fresh from the oven - it had an amazing crust on the outside and was unbelievably melty warm and soft on the inside. I kept asking for more pieces and wish I could have just ordered an entire loaf of it if I'm honest! The presentation of the Hamachi crudo salad was like a piece of art - the dish matched the presentation and the yuzu flavor was unique and refreshing. The shrimp macaron starter was very tasty and the green sauce to dip in had a great spicy kick to it. The Spanish garlic shrimp appetizer was a good size portion that we shared. It came out hot and sizzling on the plate - the shrimp was succulent and the tomatoes and garlic pieces were terrific. For the main dish, we split the uni (sea urchin) pasta. The pasta was home made and delicious. I have never had uni before and it was cool to try a unique and novel flavor but this might not be for everyone (it had somewhat of a bitterness that reminded me of the acquired taste of an olive). The sauce was definitely butter heavy and it evened out the strong flavor of the uni - I found the dish was delicious overall but it is pricey so just make sure you're aware and open minded before you order this. For dessert, we split the chocolate cake/soufflé and this one literally took my breath away and had me rolling my eyes into the back of my head. It was made to order so we had to wait for it to bake, but when it came out, the warmth and quality of the melted chocolate inside was exquisite and the proportions of cake to chocolate to ice cream was absolutely perfect (see video). We don't go out to nice fancy/French restaurants very often, and I'm so glad we indulged with this - it ended the evening in a truly special way. Restaurant ambiance was casual but elegant. Our service was fantastic - we don't eat meat or alcohol and our server helped us navigate the menu to find some great options. Overall, we are grateful for a lovely meal and would recommend anyone else to give it a try if you're looking for a unique and flavorful dining experience.

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

Highly recommend trying Loaded for a satisfying breakfast experience. read more

Lot's to chose from at a decent price. I've been here 3 times, ordered different items and they were all good and well served. They serve complimentary chips, salsa and beans. You definitely don't get that at Denny's or IHOP. Ruby was our waitress and she is just awesome. She assisted my husband with his "complicated order" with and constantly ensured we were taken care of. read more

What an uplifting spot for breakfast! Walls with encouraging words, management that thanks you taking time to visit, my server Lily and cook Alex who not only checked in on me but gave recommendations about food offerings. Food was good size portions and served hot! It was a good first experience and while it is 12 miles and took 25 minutes it is a place I'll visit again. read more

This was our second time here, and our food orders (the Little Piggy and Swedish crepes) were excellent both times. Our server, Lily, was extremely attentive and accommodating, ensuring that we always had coffee and that all requests (i.e., sauces on the side) were met. We will definitely continue coming back! read more

The service here is excellent -- the staff are welcoming and attentive. The place is very clean, comfortable, and kid-friendly, which made our visit even better. The food is absolutely delicious, and their bakery is a must-try! If you're in the area, definitely make some time to stop by. Highly recommend! read more
