    Gave only 4 salsas total for 3 burritos and 2 tacos
    Dave D.

    Not enough salsa for 3 burritos and 2 tacos, added the notes for each item but wasn't followed and receipt has the notes as well. Never ordering from here again.

    Nice little Mexican food place. The food tasted authentic, especially the refried beans. They have a few specials posted on the windows, but be aware each one is only for a certain day of the week. The prices are okay. They do offer a "Taco Tuesday " special. The cashier was friendly and courteous. The asada was pretty good. The salsa bar and I'm the restaurant were all clean. Plenty of seating.

    Wonderful location! Our family loves Mexican food, so we are pleased as punched, to see this new location here in Lake Forest! I believe I've been to one of their Sister stores, the food looks delicious, as you know from my reviews, I love Mexican food ! Beans, rice, and chili tamale, all flavorful. Was told that, yes to make the Horchata here, and yes, it is delicious! Service is great and atmosphere very pleasant.

    Amazing Monday California Burrito Special! (See pic) California burrito, beans and rice side and a drink for $9.99. really quite a great deal. And to top it off the burrito, beans, & rice were great. Salsa bar has 4 salsas big chopped onions, carrots and whole peppers that you can take with you. That is also pretty great. Daily specials every day.

    Pozole
    Kathleen F.

    I ordered the Pozole. Came with a pint of bones and some weak broth. Flavorless, dry and with 13 pieces of hominy in the quart of soup? Awful! Also got three cheese covered taquitos with a splash of guacamole. Completely disappointed. Tried calling them. They don't pick up the phone.

    Poor customer service i couldn't understand the cashier, I ordered two tacos and one can of Pepsi $15. The tacos didnt have any flavor as if the meat was boiled, tortillas were cheap store bought . I dont think this restaurant will last . I noticed other people's food and it also looked store bought not home made ..

    Do they sell corn tortillas?

    🙂 Good question, I wanted to know too. So I gave them a call and they said yes they make the tortillas there corn and flour. And they sell just tortillas as well from what the gentleman said that answered the phone. 📞

    From South San Diego and we googled breakfast spots…read more.. Checked a few and decided on Forest Cafe for having great pictures and grwat reviews.. This place didnt disapoint. waffle tasted great. Not overcooked. Strawberries and Blueberries tasted fresh. Carne Asada Quesadill had great flavors. Cilantro and sour cream tasted good. Meat was good just hoe i asked it for. Great flavor over all. Green salsa on the side was spicy. Just the perfect amount of kick on the salsa. Definitely recommend this place. And Definitely will be coming back...

It is a small cozy…read morespot and when we went after church there was hardly anyone there which made it even better. We originally found it through Yelp and saw people raving about the homemade food and it absolutely lived up to the reviews. I ordered the Denver omelet and it was excellent. The eggs were perfectly airy and creamy without being runny. The flavor was simple but spot on and the avocado paired really well with it. Nothing felt off or overdone. We also tried a few other dishes at the table. The chilaquiles were fantastic. The tortilla chips had a great crunch and were not soggy at all. Even though they looked heavily sauced in pictures the ratio was actually perfect. Enough salsa for flavor while still keeping the chips crispy. The salsa itself was very good and the egg on top was perfectly runny and yolky which was a big plus. The version with added cheese was also great. Service really stood out. One of our friends asked for no cheese on their chilaquiles and it accidentally came out with cheese. The staff handled it so kindly. They took it back immediately and as an apology one of the owners or cooks came out personally and brought us complimentary pancakes. That small gesture really showed how much they care. The owners were incredibly sweet and kept checking in asking if everything was good and sharing how much care and time they put into making everything homemade. You could genuinely feel that passion. Huge props to Forest Cafe. I would absolutely recommend it. A great little brunch and breakfast spot and definitely a place we will be coming back to.

Everyone here was friendly. And the staff are so welcoming. The hospitality was beyond. I came here with my mom and we both enjoyed it. My mom had ordered their fresh blueberry muffins and she enjoyed it along with her coffee. I didn't try the muffin this time because I wanted something savory. Next time for sure because it looks delicious. I had ordered the #1 on the menu choice of meat with eggs (any style). I ordered my plate with bacon, eggs over medium, with hash browns styled "Those Hash-browns" which has onions and bell peppers. (Not to be confused with house potatoes fyi). I also had it with a side of toasted sourdough. It had hit the spot for a breakfast plate and the price was very reasonable compared to other breakfast spots. The portions I feel were perfect. I took leftovers home (hash browns wise). I can't wait to come back with more family and friends and be able to just indulge in the yummy items of their menu. 11/10 for me. More than 5 stars to be honest. I'm glad we decided to stop here.

Most seating is indoors with a couple of outdoor tables too. I ordered a hot Spanish latte plus chose a blueberry jam muffin from the pastry case. And a Campfire Cookie as a bonus. The place was fairly full but I found a seat at a counter. The Spanish latte was superb with smooth coffee and cinnamon flavors that blended for a perfectly balanced profile. I appreciated it was at an immediately drinkable temperature. The muffin was really, really good. Really. It was moist, fresh, and full of blueberries and a layer of blueberry jam. The big cookie was quite good, although in all honesty I've had better in this genre. I didn't stay long as there was some annoying guy who'd set up office at a table with his AirPods firmly inserted and loudly giving legal advice in an obnoxious manner that is typical of ambulance-chaser lawyers. Why do coffee shops put up with this?

The breakfast burrito was decent BUT the potatoes inside were a bit undercooked Since we came on a Sunday it was a little busy. When ordering they have a card stating approximate waiting times depending on how busy they are, but it well exceeded the time on the card. There was a family of 4 that ordered before us and got their food first. My order consisted of 2/4 things they ordered.... How does that work? Anyways... it was a try, but not one worth going back for unfortunately. The inside is cute and there is a lot of seating outside, but I don't see myself going back
