    Strawberry French toast
    Jose T.

    Breakfast was so good! Great service and nice little hidden spot on this side of town! We got the all meat omelette and strawberry French toast both were really good!

    Hidden gem! Yummy breakfast. Everything came out better than expected! Forgot to take a photo before we started eating!

    Pork chop, potatoes, strawberries, orange juice

    Great menu, great service. I'm paleo and liked the a la carte section. Everyone was happy with their food.

    First time and I must say this little hidden place did not disappoint the food was great and the service was excellent as well, great little family oriented spot would recommend have to return and try out lunch on another day. Great job.

    When it comes to food I always prefer being able to support local business/mom and pop shops. The chorizo eggs with potato and beans brought me back to breakfast with my grandparents in Mexico. This neighborhood cafe has amazing service, the staff are so friendly and the place itself is very clean. What I loved and most definitely recommend is the green salsa, I personally can't handle spicy food but when my mom told me to try it..try it. The TASTE of the salsa is delicious and has that hint of Mexico. Although I unfortunately didn't get to try the pancakes, I'll most definitely be coming back again to try them! American food with the Mexican taste! Cuando se trata de comida, siempre prefiero poder apoyar a los negocios locales o a las tiendas familiares. Los huevos con chorizo, papas y frijoles me recordaron el desayuno que desayuné con mis abuelos en México. Este café en el barrio tiene un servicio increíble, el personal es muy amable y el lugar en sí está muy limpio. Lo que me encantó y definitivamente recomiendo es la salsa verde. Personalmente, no soporto el chile o picante, pero cuando mi madre me dijo 'pruébalo', la probé. El SABOR de la salsa es delicioso y tiene ese toque de México. Aunque desafortunadamente no pude probar los panqueques, ¡definitivamente volveré a probarlos! Comida Americana pero con sazón!

    Beef fajita omelet with home fries and wheat toast
    J M.

    Food was served piping hot and I had to let it cool down. Never ever had that. Omelets were fluffy and full of meat and veggies Cool music playing in the background. Staff was great. Clean place and really neat atmosphere. Dives are my favorite.

    Steak and Eggs

    Cute little hidden gem. Food tasted great! The only two things I would suggest are better butter knives (it was hard to cut the French toast) and adding a sugar free syrup option would be nice.

    Chicken & Waffles
    Christian D.

    Stopped by today at around 7:30 in the morning. The atmosphere inside of the restaurant had a very "home made" feeling. Nice lobby music playing and the young man who served us was very polite. Ordered our food and it was out in about 10 minutes. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles. It looked real good but in all honestly it looked better than it tasted. It wasn't horrible by any means, but I was expecting a better taste. Chicken had a slight frozen taste and waffles lacked flavor. Food came out in a timely manner and the temperature was just right. Chicken and waffles were a sizable portion. Syrup was warm as well. I did enjoy how the food complimented the atmosphere, it was very welcoming and warm, almost like the restaurant was hugging you. In all this was a decent mom and pop type restaurant. I would recommend you stop by and give it a try. I did only try one dish, maybe their other dishes are better.

    Been wanting to try a spot that didn't open until 11am and thought to try this place out. There were a ton of reviews on Yelp complaining about prices which gave me a heads up to keep my eyes peeled on $$. Service: We came in and were immediately seated. I couldn't understand the negative reviews on their food as it was quickly getting packed and customer traffic was steady but nonstop; what I called the overflow area was also getting full. Liz was our server. Before the wave of people came, her and one other woman was helping with tables, then the older man began to help when needed. There was a younger man with glasses who also helped with refills and served our food (he was very respectful and professional) - I think it's family owned, and you will see that the effort to help is there when needed. You could see this as the place was nice and clean. Food: *If you're not a fan of veggies, this may not be the plate for you* Chorizo Omelet; good but needed a bit of salt. I didn't expect so many veggies or chunks of meat. I initially asked the server if their onions would be raw or sautéed. She said raw so I asked for no onion (receipt reflects this). They weren't raw, but was served on my plate despite the request; I let her know and when she went to tell someone, she came back with the receipt. The bell peppers were raw, but the meats, mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach, and everything else came out good.(I'm not a salt person and didn't think it would be necessary with all these ingredients, but needed it) French Toast and 2 eggs w/ sausage: we ordered and received the eggs over medium. The bread was the perfect choice; came out nice and hot. The bread did not become soggy with the syrup. Woohoo! The prices on the menu was less then what was charged. Both plates were fulfilling but not worth the cost that they are now charging. When we brought up the issue with the receipt, she spoke to the other woman and told us that the prices did change (increased) but the menu wasn't updated - they corrected it.

    Looking for a breakfast place close to downtown very easy to get to a very nice parking lot walked into a friendly staff we seated us at a table and goddess is wonderful, Mexican, hot chocolate to drink while we looked over the menu I ordered the stuff French toast with scrambled eggs and crispy bacon and my friend got cinnamon French toast with fresh fruit Restaurant is spotlessly clean A young man came by and was selling these wonderful, crunchy sugar and spice cookies that his grandmother made he was so enterprising. Next trip into San Antonio. Will make this our first stop.

    Two eggs, country potatoes, and super crispy bacon
    Justin L.

    Very basic breakfast. I ordered ala carte. I ordered two eggs over medium, two orders of bacon, and country potatoes. I also got an apple juice. The eggs were over easy. Not a deal breaker. The country potatoes weren't anything to write home about. Luckily there was ketchup and cholula to bring in the flavor. The bacon was burnt. The apple juice was good. The service was great. This is a family ran business. I think they would do better hiring a chef. This was only so-so for me.

We ordered: the Alamo Burger: a 8 oz wagyu beef smash burger , served with a fried egg, caramelized onions, cheese on a crispy croissant bun. It was incredible and worth the 15-20 minute wait! Almond croissant - a monster sized, flaky croissant with a generous almond filling. Guy Fieri highlighted this croissant on his DD&D show. It's probably a million calories not worth it!

Luckily for me, I went the day after memorial day so the lines weren't that bad and the red carpet laid out in front of the restaurant was all clear. I grabbed a menu before it was my turn to order. It's a lot to choose from and without pictures it's difficult to tell what most of the items are. Especially for a first timer. So, I ordered what the gentleman in front of me had which was a plain croissant with butter. It looked better than it tasted. I chose not to use the butter because the croissant was cold so butter wouldn't take to it well. I also ordered a side of scrambled eggs with cheese and avocado. The eggs were delicious, cooked well and flavored nicely. But my avocados were oxidizing so the presentation wasn't appealing. My husband's breakfast scramble was filled with eggs. cheese, and turkey, but wasn't filled with flavor of any kind. It's a lively atmosphere. Great for large groups. There's seating outside so if you're feeling like sitting amongst pedestrians walking by, it's perfect. The service was slow. Really slow. I overheard they were backed up so by the time my macchiato was delivered I was almost done eating.

Unfortunately, the food was very disappointing, which is why I'm giving 3 stars. I ordered the veal Schnitzel with mushroom gravy (Jägerschnitzel) and red cabbage. The gravy had a strange gelatin-like consistency and lacked the rich flavor you'd expect from a proper Jäger sauce. The veal was extremely chewy and honestly made me feel ill afterward. The red cabbage was also very undercooked and completely lacked flavor. Overall, I personally did not find the food authentic or representative of true German cooking. What truly saved this experience was the outstanding customer service. Our server, Joseph, was attentive, professional, and genuinely kind throughout the meal. I also greatly appreciated Mr. Adam, the kitchen manager, who personally came out to discuss my concerns. He handled the constructive criticism with professionalism and openness, and I truly respected the fact that he listened carefully and considered my feedback regarding the sauce. Although I wouldn't personally return for the food, Joseph and Mr. Adam turned what could have been a terrible experience into one where I still felt valued as a customer. Their professionalism absolutely deserves recognition.
