    Side of panela, papas, frijoles, consomé
    Lani M.

    Came here on a whim because our other breakfast spot was packed - Did a quick search on Yelp & found this spot! It looks like this place is pretty new based on their Yelp business profile. The cafe has a shared private lot with other businesses. The business itself is very aesthetic & PINK! My favorite color. So I was definitely in love when I saw the interior. IG/social media worthy place to take photos. Everything comes out so aesthetically cute. The one thing that stood out to me the most during our entire visit though - was our waitress, HAZEL! Young, bubbly, friendly, professional, & high energy vibes. Which just makes you wanna match her energy. She made us feel comfy the second we walked in. She provided her recommendations & made sure we were taken care of the entire time. We'd visit here again based on her service alone. We ordered the birria omelette with a side of panela, birria chilaquiles, a mazapán coffee, lemonade, & sprite. Everything came out quickly! They had chili oil on our table with salt & pepper. We LOVE our spice. So the chili oil, without needed to ask was chef's kiss. My husband enjoyed his food & finished everything. My birria omelette was delish! The mazapán iced coffee was also great! Definitely a hidden gem! Can't wait to return to try other menu items.

    Came back to bring my inlaws. For Sunday breakfast. Arlett and staff. Was amazing and helpful explaining things for my inlaws. We all had a great time. There was another family celebrating a birthday . They are a great place for all occasions. Played music had a sparkler. This is a must try.

    Birria Omelette

    Cute find in San Diego! We ordered the Birria Omelette and the Birria Chilaquiles... both were delicious!! The Birria was cooked perfectly! Juicy, tender and very generous! Only thing is the frijoles were a little cold and the papas needed seasoning for flavor... other than that service was friendly, the cafe de olla was piping hot and everything tasted delicious!

    This coffee was amazing it's sweet

    We got there early before the crowd hit on a Saturday morning. Service was great, food presentation and taste were awesome. The service was nice, beautiful ladies are the servers. Definitely love the pink vibe and entrance.

    Comer en Vica's Cafe fue simplemente espectacular. El lugar es bonito, con un ambiente muy chic pero a la vez cómodo y acogedor. Desde que llegas se siente ese cuidado en los detalles que te hace disfrutar todavía más la experiencia. La estrella del día, sin duda, fueron los chiles en nogada. De verdad, es un platillo que se siente como una obra de arte. El balance de sabores es perfecto, el relleno está lleno de sabor y la nogada es cremosa, suave y deliciosa. Cada bocado te deja claro que este platillo lleva tiempo, técnica y muchísimo amor. No cualquiera puede hacer chiles en nogada así. Todo estuvo riquísimo y muy bien presentado. Se nota cuando la comida se hace con pasión y respeto por la tradición. Vica's Cafe no solo sirve comida increíble, te regala una experiencia que se disfruta y se recuerda. Si te gusta la buena comida, los sabores auténticos y los platillos bien hechos, este lugar es una joya que sí o sí tienes que visitar.

    Chilaquiles Verdes

    I ordered the chilaquiles verdes. So good, crunchy and good amount of spice. Service was great. Def will return.

    Pink Pancakes and Huevos Al Gusto
    Orlando G.

    Vica's Café absolutely blew me away. The pink pancakes are not just eye‑catching -- they're incredibly fluffy, flavorful, and unlike anything you'll find anywhere else. A perfect balance of sweet, soft, and delicious in every bite. I also ordered the huevos al gusto, and they were cooked perfectly. Fresh ingredients, great seasoning, and you can tell everything is made with real care. Simple dish, but executed at a level that makes it memorable. The service was warm, the atmosphere was cozy, and the food was outstanding. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by. Vica's Café is officially one of my new favorite breakfast spots.

    tldr: going to think about this place for the next year until i can return again…read more we stopped in for some appetizers and drinks after walking for a few miles visiting coronado. we needed some fuel for the drive back to the city. it wasn't a planned stop, but we happened to walk past it and decided to turn back around for a quick snack/drink (best decision) service: so friendly! from the hostess, to our server (the receipt might've said his name was angel?). he was so kind and checked up on us several times, but wasn't "pestering". whenever i started to get low on my water, he would come refill it. i watched him take care of his other tables and he was so attentive!! bathrooms: super clean! multiple stalls. the individual doors showed if they were occupied or not. and finally, the food: i told the waiter i would be dreaming about the flautas and i was not lying. he told us they just recently changed the menu and there were taquitos, but those were removed and they recently brought in these flautas and holy moly. they hit the spot. so delicious!! i almost cried. if we didn't already have plans for dinner later that night, i would've ordered 2-3 more plates of these. the salsa was amazing. not chunky, not watery. just perfect!!! had some spice but not uncomfortable. the queso was soo good too! everything tasted so fresh. food came out quickly but not suspiciously so. drinks: refreshing! i got an aloha tea and my sister got the poolside pop margarita. overall, would absolutely come back. in fact, i would come back to coronado for only this meal. 10/10.

    We were visiting Coronado and looking for a place to watch the FIFA games. The food was delicious,…read morebut I wouldn't consider it authentic Mexican cuisine. It's more of a modern, Americanized take on Mexican food. That said, the cheese balls on my salad were absolutely delicious! The restaurant is beautifully decorated with a great atmosphere, making it a nice spot to relax and enjoy a drink. The service, however, could have been more attentive. We had several different servers during our visit, so I never really knew who our main waiter was. We even had to flag someone down just to get our bill. Overall, the food was good, the ambiance was enjoyable, and it's a great place to grab drinks and watch a game. With more attentive service, it would have been an even better experience.

    Was hungry for some Mexican food and am glad we came here…read more It was a very nice day so we decided to sit outside. The server came right away to take our order. We started out with the Mexican street corn along with the chips and salsa. I've always had Mexican street corn that was on the cob, but I really liked it this way. Would definitely get it again because it was very good. We both ordered the spicy skinny margarita. Best skinny margarita I've ever had. Yum I ordered the traditional cheese enchilada because that's my go to for Mexican food. So good! The flavor was spot on. Lots of melty cheese. Everything was excellent and I would definitely be back when I'm in town.

    Located at Fashion Valley Mall, which has a lot of parking and is conveniently a metro stop, you…read morecan find Blanco on the second floor where the "food court" is right by the Lego shop. It's a cool little spot with ample seating indoors, outdoors, and at the bar. Also with really cool decor. I was staying across the street for a conference and a bit of a staycation and decided to come over here with some coworkers to relax and watch some World Cup. The bartenders here are amazing. They are great humans and really helpful in explaining the various drink specials (margarita trees are highly recommended), the local flavor favorites, and just the area itself. My coworker and I got the elote and the chicken tinga cheese crisp to share. The elote was okay. The Cheese Crisp was really satisfying, basically reminded me of a Mexican Pizza with the tortilla base. It's a cool spot to come hangout if you are the area.

Signed up for their 'birthday special' with my email. Received a $15 coupon (off $40 or more). Went back with my mom (literally the ONLY PEOPLE in the entire restaurant - had to call out to the back to get someone to seat us). Food was good (paid for our chips and salsa), scallops were delicious!!! Presented my $15 coupon, saw that our bill was WAY MORE than expected, but didn't want to upse my mom, so paid and left. Our Diet Pepsi's were $15/EACH! Was this bc of the coupon. I know I should have questioned it then, but a furious that I should have had to question at all. Food is good. Setting was exceptional. Service was questionable.

    Pueblo started lunch service on the weekends and we were so surprised it was not busy when we went…read morethis past Saturday. The Pacific Beach area is usually busy, and we were lucky that we didn't have to wait and service was excellent. They even have their own parking lot around back so that makes it less stressful to have a meal at their establishment. I also made a reservation in advance for eight people but it really wasn't necessary when we went. I think it's very different during dinner service so I still highly recommend making a reservation. They brought out chips and salsa immediately as well as water. My husband and I got there a little bit early ahead of our party so we ordered a couple of drinks while everyone else arrived. They have a huge selection of menu items for both brunch and dinner. We had the ceviche, chicharrones and guacamole. I also ordered the Yucatán salad and my husband got the seafood enchiladas. Both were excellent and highly recommend. The ambience and decor are so cute as well. They have a couple Bougainvillea trees by the entrance and beautiful, colorful murals on their building. So definitely a cute place to take pictures. Very much worth the trip if you are looking for something to eat in the area.
