    Hash browns, eggs, bacon, green salsa French toast with berries
    Gina O.

    I was craving breakfast, so we decided to try this place. It has a lot of positive reviews, and the presentation in the photos is honestly what drew us in. I really wanted to like it because the vibe is super cute. It has a cozy, traditional Mexican café feel with a slightly updated touch, and when the food came out, it looked really nice. Unfortunately, the experience didn't match. My plate came out first, and several minutes went by with no sign of my fiancée's food and no update, which felt a bit off. While we were waiting, I tried my food and it just didn't match how good it looked. The French toast was dry and honestly just tasted like plain bread, not French toast. The bacon was overcooked, and the hash browns were crispy on top but undercooked underneath, even though I had asked for them well done. We also had to follow up for water, and there was a small mix-up with drinks. I ordered a strawberry horchata, and while it looked like it would be refreshing (especially with the strawberry on top), it didn't really deliver. It was pretty grainy and you could barely taste the strawberry, which was disappointing since horchata can be really good when it's done right. The staff was kind, and the place itself has a great atmosphere, which is why this was disappointing. Since my fiancée's food still hadn't come out, we decided to cancel and head out. I really did want to love this place because it has a lot of potential. With a bit more consistency in the kitchen and service, it could be a great spot.

    Carne 'em su jugo! 10/10 what a flavorful dish!  waitress recommended it and was not disappointed
    Ceon A.

    I usually order the same thing but this time I wanted to try something new, I asked the waiter what would you prefer the Carne guitars or carne amen su jugo. got the en su jugo and it was full or flavor and super tasty. I think I found my new dish to order everytime

    Ranchera skillet
    Jo G.

    First time coming here :) Went on a Friday around noon and there was no wait, host was nice and attentive. Ordered chilaquiles banda: 8/10 Ranchera breakfast skillet :7/10 Beans were amazing , added ham. My only note is that they had waaaay too much sauce in both dishes in my opinion. The sauces take away from the actual flavor of the meat and everything else which is already flavorful on its own. I think next time I'll just say very light on the sauce and they should be perfect. Will be back :)

    Mex cocina cafe has the best iced cafe de olla! The food is delicious, the service is even better. Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. The location is a bit small and tables fill up quick so come early. I personally love is better than amor a mi and cafe de olla.

    My friend took me to Mex Cocina Café in Burbank when I was seriously craving chilaquiles, and wow this place delivered. I ordered the Chilaquiles Bandera along with a café de olla, and everything was absolutely amazing. The chilaquiles were flavorful, perfectly cooked, and hit the spot in every way. The café de olla was rich, comforting, and the perfect complement to the meal. The ambiance was very homey and full of heart, with heart logos throughout that make the place feel extra special and welcoming. On top of that, the customer service was outstanding everyone was incredibly courteous, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. You can really feel the love they put into both their food and their space. If you're looking for a great spot for chilaquiles and authentic flavors, this place is a must. I'll definitely be back!

    Grilled chicken breast with garlic shrimp
    Jessy M.

    This update is way overdue! Let me start off by saying that my family and I have been visiting this restaurant for about a decade now. Their impeccable service, authentic pozole, and delicious caldo de res always keep us coming back. I've tried their grilled chicken breast with garlic shrimp, chicken enchiladas, strawberry-banana-Nutella French toast, Abuelita hot chocolate pancakes, carne asada taco combo, pozole, caldo de res, regular horchata, and strawberry horchata. Let's start with the grilled chicken breast with garlic shrimp. The chicken breast itself had a nice, citrusy taste to it. It was moist, tender, and flavorful. The garlic shrimp were perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The dish also included rice, beans, and nopal (cactus), which paired well with the chicken. Next up are the chicken enchiladas. The enchiladas were stuffed with shredded chicken and garnished with red sauce, sour cream, and mozzarella cheese. These also came with rice and beans. Unfortunately, I was not a fan of these enchiladas. The shredded chicken tasted very bland, and the red sauce didn't add much flavor either. Next up is the strawberry-banana-Nutella French toast. This consists of slices of French toast topped with strawberries, bananas, and Nutella, finished with powdered sugar and whipped cream, and served with syrup. Every single bite of this dish tasted like heaven. It was so good that I couldn't stop savoring it even long after I had finished it. Next up are the Abuelita hot chocolate pancakes. This is the first restaurant I've seen that offers such a combination. These pancakes are infused with Abuelita Mexican-style hot chocolate (rich, cinnamon-spiced chocolate). They were served with powdered sugar, whipped cream, and syrup on the side. This combination works wonders! All of these flavors were singing in my mouth. Next up is their Carne Asada Taco Combo, which also comes with rice and beans. I ordered carne asada as my protein. Unfortunately, the carne asada was bland. I tried adding salsa and lime to enhance the flavor, but even those weren't enough to make it taste better. Next up is their pozole! This is my favorite item on their menu. Pozole is a traditional Mexican hominy stew and is only served on weekends at this restaurant. It comes with a side of chips, onions, limes, shredded cabbage, and salsa. Their recipe is very authentic and absolutely delicious! I always highly recommend this dish to anyone who asks me where to find good pozole. Tip: If you're looking to order pozole on cold or rainy days, make sure you go early, as they tend to run out fast. Next up is their caldo de res (beef stew). This dish consists of beef broth, chunks of beef, and vegetables. It also comes with a side of salsa, onions, and limes. This beef stew is one of the best in the area. It's a very tasty and comforting choice, especially during cooler weather. This is my mom's and sister's favorite item. Next up is their horchata. I love a restaurant that serves good horchata, and this restaurant definitely has their recipe down. The horchata is perfectly balanced (not too sweet or cinnamon-heavy) and tastes homemade rather than from a powder. It's the perfect drink to balance the savory spice from their red salsa. Last but not least, their strawberry horchata. This is a whipped drink that features their horchata with strawberries mixed in. It's very refreshing, and the strawberry notes make it stand out from the regular horchata. Although this variation is quite good, I still prefer the regular horchata. This restaurant has a friendly, relaxed, and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for family meals, casual brunches, and laid-back lunches. As mentioned above, the service here is very close to flawless. The staff is warm and attentive, which adds to the comfortable ambiance. Kudos to the owner(s) and management for running this restaurant like a well-oiled machine! My family and I are always treated so well on every visit. As mentioned in my original review, the same complaints still exist. The parking structure is shared with other businesses and is very small, which makes parking difficult most of the time. Wait times tend to be anywhere from 20-30 minutes, depending on the time of day. Overall, this restaurant offers authentic Mexican cuisine, excellent service that's hard to find nowadays, and a very comforting atmosphere. I highly recommend their pozole. you won't be disappointed!

    carne asada + cheese enchilada
    Roni Q.

    Firstly, I judge all Mexican restaurants by its rice and beans. If the rice and beans are dry and/or leftover, that sets the expectation for the rest of the meal. The rice and beans here are incredible. The rice is a family recipe of white rice that includes corn and peas. This is not your typical Mexican rice. It's better IMHO. Then the frijoles are hot and covered in Cotija cheese. Absolutely delicious. So I was already anticipating the main course, the Carne Asada and Cheese Enchilada. I probably should have left off the enchilada because it, by itself, was less than stellar. Good, just not great as I was expecting. The main dish, the Carne Asada, with fresh flour (or corn) tortillas and fresh pico de gallo, guacamole, and green salsa was ready to be devoured. The skirt steak was tender, cooked perfectly, seasoned well, and so incredibly delicious. Usually, you'd have to add the accoutrement to make the meat tasty but this Carne Asada is tasty all on its own. Their menu is so vast and varied, you'd have to eat here every day to get a sense of just how good it is. My suspicion is that it's all good or great. The service was wonderful with friendly servers and wait staff. We sat outside, which was our preference on this beautiful Burbank day. Burbank has lots of good food due to the presence of the movie and tv studios. Mex Cocina is just another of those joints that you don't want to miss if you live or work in this area. Warning: Parking may be difficult.

    Visited: 7/28/24 I ordered the strawberry horchata, regular horchata, chilaquiles, and huevos rancheros (both with asada), and everything was absolutely delicious! This is easily the best Mexican restaurant I've been to. There was a bit of a wait to be seated and a line when we arrived, but it was 100% worth it for the food and drinks. We were seated outside, and it does get very crowded with tables close together, but once the food came out, none of that mattered. The drinks were amazing. Both the regular and strawberry horchata were great, but the strawberry was my favorite. I will definitely be coming back in the future!

    Pretty good brunch spot. Came on a Sunday around 1 pm for brunch; we had about 7 people in our party. We were accommodated pretty well and fairly quickly. Maybe we waited about 10 mins for a table because of the size of the location and lack of bigger tables, but it was not as bad of a wait as other brunch spots, so it was pretty quick. The location, like I said, is small and could use a huge upgrade given the popularity of the place but is not too bad.They do have some tables outside as well. Service was great, and despite a packed Sunday afternoon, we were not disappointed with the service or the quick delivery of the food. I ordered a carne that had green salsa on it. I forgot the name of it, but it was good. My wife got her chilaquiles, and my kids ordered the Mickey waffle. All the food was super good, and my green salsa was one of the greatest green salsas I had tasted, and it went well with my meat. I also ordered myself an iced coffee, and it was pretty good. I was very tired and needed a pick me upper, and I will say it did its job because it spiked me right up and made me ready for my day. The thing I don't like is that there are no refills on drinks; you have to buy another, so that jacks up the price a bit, but the food itself is not overly expensive. We enjoyed our Sunday brunch here and do look forward to coming back again to try some new brunch items.

    I LOVE MEXCOCINA! Have visited countless times now, perfect spot for brunch with family. It's very traditional Mexican food & it's delicious. Staff are nice & friendly. Be weary that parking is limited, there's a small lot but it fills up quick, I usually will park on the street in the surrounding neighborhood if I can't find any there. My fav are the Chilaquiles Suizos, can never go wrong! It can get really packed on weekends so I usually call ahead to check on wait times. I can't recommend it enough!

    Lisette M.

    Cute little spot... have been coming here for years... I loved their chilaquiles; however the red salsa has changed to what it was back in 2018... so it's a bummer... I went today and tried the chilaquiles suizos and those were pretty delicious. Their horchata and cafe de olla is absolutely the best and I highly recommend!

    Chicken Albondigas
    JJ F.

    Happy to finally go here after years of hearing how crowded it can be - I went about 2pm on a weekday and was seated immediately, but it's smaller than I thought, so that's why it gets busy. My friend had the asada taco and chicken albondigas while I had the pork verde burrito and cafe de olla. Everything was really good, so we're looking forward to going again. Best Mexican coffee I've had in a long time. Service is really friendly, living up to their reputation. Ambiance is nothing special, so not really a place for 1st dates, but go here for the food.

The first issue came when my matcha was made hot instead of iced and had to be remade. Even after the remake, it tasted like straight matcha powder and wasn't well mixed. The banana bread was served cold and wasn't warmed up, which was disappointing. What stood out most, though, was the cleanliness. As I walked into the shop around 7:30 a.m., the outdoor trash area was already overflowing. Inside, there was a trash can right next to the pickup counter that smelled bad and had visible stains all over it. For being so early in the morning, I was surprised that the trash hadn't been emptied or the area cleaned before opening. The salted cold brew cloud was decent, but overall the drinks, food, and cleanliness left a lot to be desired. Hoping this was just an off morning, but based on this visit, I wouldn't rush back.

    I stopped by Kalaveras while visiting the Jackalope Art Fair in Downtown Burbank. After walking…read morearound in the heat, I wanted somewhere with seating, shade, and A/c. I had passed by this restaurant before but had never been curious enough to actually stop in. This time their drink menu advertised outside caught my attention so I figured "hey, why not?" From the moment I walked in i was trying to figure out whether I liked the atmosphere or not. The music was excellent, but the décor took me a second to process. It felt like an 80s lounge crashed into a neon Día de los Muertos inspired art gallery. It's most definitely not a quiet, cozy restaurant. It has more of a loud, colorful, party style personality. I was seated promptly by a kind hostess but I wasn't attended to by a waiter for nearly 10 minutes. Once my waiter did come by he was kind, quick, and professional. Now, I'm going to be honest.. I'm pretty picky when it comes to Mexican restaurant food, so I didn't have the highest expectations. I ordered the potato taquitos, a Jarrito Loco made with watermelon purée, vodka instead of tequila, and chamoy on the rim, plus chiles toreados and one carne asada taco. Laugh all you want, but I was half expecting the food to come out looking like a cafeteria lady had splattered it onto a plate... I was genuinely impressed by the presentation instead. The potato "taquitos" were bigger than I expected so don't let the "itos" fool you. They were crispy, flavorful, filling, and honestly so delicious. Those get a 5/5 from me. My drink was also incredible. It was refreshing, especially with how hot the day was, and had just the right amount of alcohol. The presentation was so cute I almost felt bad ruining it. Easily one of the best drinks I've had in the Burbank area -- 5/5. The carne asada taco wasn't as impressive as the potato taquitos, so I'd give that a 3/5. The chile toreado was definitely spicy, it just needed to be salted a little more but otherwise no complaints! I need to remind myself not to be too quick to judge because I was genuinely surprised by this place. The décor wasn't fully my personal style, but the food and drinks more than made up for it. I'd definitely come back again, especially for the potato taquitos and drinks.

    A terrific find in the heart of Burbank, fighting for business along with so many other restaurants…read moreand pubs on this corridor. But Over/Under has a distinct advantage with its cozy, sports bar feel and friendly staff. The booths are comfortable, the booze selection is ample, and there are a whole bunch of TV's for watching games. Our server, Chelsea, was a very good egg; funny and very helpful with suggestions re the menu and various drinks. She checked on us repeatedly, and made sure we had all we needed. My wife ordered a Gummy Bear Shot that was tart and sweet and very enjoyable. On the food side, the menu is filled with the greatest hits of casual, sports bar foods, but all kicked up several notches and more interesting than the usual. My wife ordered the Truffle Burger, replete with onions and mushrooms and cheese. The trappings were all very tasty, and the burger itself was packed with flavor, and came cooked to a very proper medium rare. The side of lemon-pepper fries were hand cut and crispy, though the citrusy tang wasn't my thing. A tad less successful was my Pastrami Sandwich. The meat, listed as house-made, had good flavor but was tough. The kale slaw with it also had good flavor, and the slight bitterness was a nice foil for the rich pastrami. Onion rings were excellent, and (regardless of the lemon-pepper) the better bet as a side. All in all, this is a great, comfy place with a good menu and a really welcoming staff. I'd go back in a heartbeat to try the wings and pizza, both of which looked excellent when delivered to neighboring tables.

    The service, the vibe, the FOOD!! All amazing every single time!!! Once I'm in here I realize how…read moremuch I missed being here from the last time I was here. We stopped by for happy hour today and the Chardonnay was on point. The bbq chicken pizza, the club sandwich (ask for sauce on side if ur not a spicy eater like me), bbq chicken tacos and we asked for side of their sweet potato fries and ranch cuz those r must haves each visit. Delicious, finger licking good food! I also realized I can stop cooking dinner for the fam and just come here anytime. I plan to come back for brunch on the weekend now that I know they added that too! I'm so excited. Thank you for having such a fine establishment with great food and service always. Perfect for date night, outing with the fam, sports night, just because, legit - anytime!!

    Now I know why this place always has a long wait. Hot tip: You can join the waitlist on Yelp before…read moreyou get there! I came with a friend who is a regular and she gave me a lot of good recommendations of what to order. The menu is quite large, filled with tons of delicious Mexican breakfast options! I'm a big machaca fan, so that's what I ordered. As an appetizer, we got the molletitos with chorizo and OMG! It was absolutely delicious. I got to taste my friend's huevos divorciados and the sauce was so delicious. My machaca was different than what I have had at other restaurants, a little on the dry side, but I enjoyed it. Loved the rice and beans it came with! Another highlight was the Cafe de Olla itself! I think I downed like 4 cups of it, it was so delicious. Service here was fantastic. Highly recommend!

    I got on the waitlist online around 10:15am. Said about 12-12:30pm I get it busy. Checked in around…read more12:15pm said 20 minute wait, cool. Took 45 min to sit us. Because I actually had to go ask again. How much longer. Then all of a sudden oh just ready in a min, when there was clearly 3 empty table for about 10 minutes. So got seated at 1pm from 10:15am reservation... 3hr wait um I don't think so. And then not once did they check up on us if we needed any refill or anything else.... Smh Food was ok, I ordered a simple burrito and eggs were a bit under cooked. Overall bad experience...
