    Breakfast Burrito with Steak.
    ronald m.

    Just stopped into this evening to have breakfast for dinner. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought I'd get the same olde boring breakfast but this was fantastic. The waiter/cashier was super friendly and bounced around helping multiple tables. I ordered the breakfast burrito with steak. It was so good with the sauce. I couldn't stop eating. I also had a Berry Berry waffle. The waffle was so moist with fresh fruit on top and whipped cream. Simply beautiful!!! I'm gonna make this my go to breakfast spot for when I'm in Utah.

    The ambience as soon as you step into the restaurant is amazing. Before we made it to the counter, we were greeted by the server, Leo. He handed us menus and gave us the option to sit wherever we would like. Brought us water as soon as we sat down, we placed our order and the food was out to the table quickly. Everything was fresh and flavorful especially the horchata!! I've never tasted horchata that was this fresh and good! Definitely an Authentic Salvadoran Restaurant. We're making this our new Saturday morning spot!

    Love supporting local small businesses! Love seeing how busy this place was. I've always seen this place but have never stopped into try it until today! Just be aware Yelp has not updated the business new location. I followed the Yelp address and it took me to the business old location which was north of the new location. The service was great! Seems to be family owned/serviced. The restaurant was very cleaned. The menu had lots of options, but the only meat options for the breakfast is just bacon and sausage, no turkey or vegetarian option. Their coffee was different than your ordinary coffee! Was very smooth and aromatic. There were 5 gals in our group and everything we ordered was great! Will definitely be returning!

    Receipt with ACTUAL prices, not the ones printed on the menu

    I'm quite conflicted on how to rate this review. On the one hand, the food was great and service was acceptable. On the other hand, I feel like I got duped. Let me explain. Our party of 4 got kids pancakes, french toast delight, cookie butter crepe, and huevos rancheros. All were very good. Cookie butter crepes are out of this world good. I got the huevos rancheros and it came with fresh, warm, house made tortillas. The bad. Prices on the menu were $5.99, $10.99, $10.99 and $9.99 respectively. When I went to check out, the bill seemed higher than expected ($45.82 when I was expecting high 30s). I asked to see a breakdown and noticed the prices charged were higher. I opted not to fight or question it there, but I should have. As an example, the french toast delight was supposed to be $10.99 as shown on the menu, but I was charged $13.51 (before tax). See receipt photo attached. All items were ordered were priced higher! Additionally, I was charged a $1.25 "checkout fee". What the heck is a checkout fee?! When we finished our meal I was excited to bring friends and family back to try it out, but now I feel slighted. The least they could do is note on the menu that prices have changed and to ask a server for current prices or something. Annoyed.

    First, I have to rave about the vibe in this place. Soooo warm and inviting. The employees are kind and they speak Spanish, which is great as well! I ordered 6 pupusas- pork and revueltas, some tamales de elote (corn tamales), platanos fritos dish, and a kids waffle meal to go. We went on a bit late, it was 7pm on a Friday night, they close at 8. Our order took a speedy 20 mins. I think you can also call in your order for pick up. When we left, the bags felt light, I know this sounds like an odd thing to say, but being an avid pupusa eater and Salvadoran, this stood out ime immediately. I know I'm not trippin when I say that because even my mom made the comment when I was simply thinking it! The curtido (coleslaw) is my favorite thing, and I would rate this one at a 5/10. It was good, but something a bit off about it. I'm guessing they don't pummel you with loads of it to take home because maybe most customers aren't into it?, I dunno but every time I get pupusas there is a hefty amt of curtido because cmon, whats a pupusa without its curtido. The red sauce though, PERFECTION. the pupusas themselves were ok. The masa didn't have the authentic taste, and there wasn't enough cheese, this was my family's consensus. They were edible, but nothing to write home about, ya know. They cost $3.75 each, they had gourmet ones as well I think those were $4.75, I would like to try a loroco I don't see why they are gourmet, but I will try it next time! Next is the plantains, I'm a sucker for plantains. They came w refried pinto beans and some type of sour cream- didn't taste quite Salvadoran, it was white and not yellow like Salvadoran so I'm not too sure. It was tasty nonetheless. It seems like the meal comes w ONE plantain bc there were about 4-5 slices, they were delicious. Moving on to the tamales de elote, I give them a solid 4/10 for effort. A bit dry, the masa fell apart, SALTY, and def not enough corn in it. I even ate the tamal w sour cream bc it was so salty.The size of it was great though! Last but certainly not least, the waffles. Perfect. They were tasty, fluffy, and portion size on point! I do want to mention that I wanted to try the atole de elote. It's a cold February night in Utah, this hot drink would go so well with the season we are in. They didn't have any. I asked if it's bc I came in too late, and they ran out, but she says they only make it if it's been in high demand. Otherwise, the drink goes to waste. It's totally understandable, but in that case maybe make it a seasonal drink that's not typically on the menu, or have it on sale for certain weeks/weekends. I was devastated that they don't carry it often. Overall, I liked the feel of this place and the employees. I've had better Salvadoran food, I wouldn't say this is authentic, but if you're not used to eating them all your life, you may not notice the difference. I will def give this place a try again and if I'm in the mood for waffles, I know just where to go!

    This is the papusas before garnishing!!

    My wife and I have driven by this restaurant several times and finally tried it. This was our first time trying papusas, and we're hooked. The staff was very friendly and it was very clean inside. We will be frequenting here now. We will definitely add this place to the rotation!!!

    Chicken and cheese pupusa

    This place is GREAT. We loved pupusas when we lived in Salt Lake (shoutout to Cafe Guanaco!) and looked for pupusas in Davis County when we moved up here. It's a bit of a drive for us but totally doable. The pupusas are great, we got one with beans and cheese and one with chicken and cheese. The pupusas come with the delicious slaw and red sauce that we've had before. We also got an order of the fried yucca with chicharronè, which comes with more red sauce, slaw, and tomatoes and cucumber on top. Everything was delicious and we are excited to take our leftovers home with us. There were several other tables full at 2:30-3 on a Friday but it was hard to tell if any were having Salvadoran food or the waffles, crepes and breakfast that they also serve. I suspect the tables with kids were having the waffles and crepes, but you should definitely go for the pupusas! We will absolutely be back!

    Birria Tacos
    Jordan I.

    Great place for good authentic crepes and their chicken and waffle dish is really good. Their waffles are great, nice and fluffy. Crepe menu satisfies a sweet tooth if you have one! Also, it's not easy finding a diversity of foods in the area. Nice spot, A+ atmosphere, and service. Highly Recommended.

    Excellent food, so many choices we all ordered something different and everyone enjoyed it. They have breakfast all day along with Salvadoran specialties and sandwitches

    Carne Asada Tacos
    Emeri V.

    So we called ahead for pickup and ordered on August 1st, 2023. We ordered quite a few things for a 5 person family. I personally ordered 3 carne asada street tacos and I was pretty hopeful since usually the street tacos I've had in the past were super good! But I had no idea if it was actually living up to my expectations. But I'm so glad I ordered them because they were THE BEST TACOS IVE EVER TASTED! Super high quality taste, flavor, ingredients! It was just incredible! Totally recommend getting those carne asada street tacos! Also just an fyi we picked out food up at ate it at home so I wasn't able to experience the place and the environment but great food!

    Camille P.

    We love this local, small business. Although the wait time for food is often too long, the end result is home cooked food that is fresh. Their waffles are thick and the oftens for toppings are endless! The carne asada is also tasty and their breakfast options like bacon, eggs, hashbrowns are also tasty. Tip: go early! And call ahead because their hours are not consistent!

    Kathee C.

    We decided to give this place another try and are so glad we did!! My daughter was craving crepes and got the banana nutella one and LOVED it! I got the strawberry one, it was delicious. My husband got the Stop Fest Breakfast and it was really good. Very generous servings. The service was so good! Very friendly and attentive.

    It has been a while since we have eaten here. We used to come about once a month with family many…read moreyears ago. Unfortunately on every visit, service always seemed to be struggling and we just stopped coming back. We were looking for a good cafe type spot and through we'd give this place another try. We were not disappointed this time, and were happy to have stopped in. First of all, a weekday lunch was not too busy and we were able to seat ourselves in a comfortable booth. They has specials listed on flip board near the door for both Chinese and American options. The menu was huge and had just about any kind of food you could want. I had my heart set on breakfast, but my dining companions ordered burgers. I had the steak and eggs with a scone on the side. The scone was actually two scones with a big dollop of honey butter melting on the top. I was so excited, I ate one of the scones before I could take my picture. My eggs were cooked just as I asked for (over easy), and the steak was a nice pink medium with great flavor and not too chewy. I savored every bite. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, making sure our drinks were full and we didn't want to anything. Upon check out, I noticed they have a monthly specials board with each day's offering listed. The prices are reasonable and I will definitely be back again.

    I don't know why this place has such bad reviews because Star Cafe is rather tasty and the prices…read moreare reasonable too. However, I've only ever done takeout, so from what I've read in the negative reviews it seems to have to do with the indoor service. The first time I tried this lovely cafe I ordered the Two Pork Chops & 2 eggs which also comes with your choice of two sides. Along with that was an order of their English Muffin Combo which comes with your choice of one side. On a different day I decided to give their lunch a shot, and ordered the All Star Club Sandwich which comes with your choice of one side. First things first, the Two Pork Chops & 2 Eggs with two sides (I chose hash browns and a strawberry crepe). OMG it was BEYOND fantastic!! From the pork chops to the perfect over easy eggs (you can request how you want your eggs), to the strawberry crepe. I could go on and on, but let's just say I highly recommend it and definitely will order it again! The English Muffin Combo comes with your choice of either 2 bacon strips, 1 sausage patty, or a slice of ham on an English Muffin, with either hash browns or their home fries as a side (just FYI, the home fries are actually diced potatoes). They cook your meal without any seasoning (no salt, no pepper, etc) so it tastes very bland but you can "doctor" it up any which way you choose (which to me after giving it some thought, seems like a good decision on the restaurants part due to people and their different preferences). The strawberry crepe was BEYOND my expectations and then some! They also have blueberry if you're interested. Either way, I highly recommend trying it!!! My lunch takeout sadly wasn't as fantastic. That is only because they put my side of sliced potatoes with sauteed onions in the same styrofoam container as the sandwich making the whole sandwich smell and taste like onions (I also wondered if they just fried the sandwich in the same skillet as the onions). The sandwich itself is 3 layers of grilled/fried bread (which I wasn't aware of prior to ordering); so keep that in mind as it makes the bread soggy along with the barely there half slice of ham, turkey, and bacon. Mayo, 2 small pickle slices, and plenty of iceberg lettuce complete the All Star Club. It definitely is not something that I would be interested in ordering again. Restaurant is generous with plastic utensils and napkins for takeout but don't plan on seeing ANY condiments or salt/pepper packets with your order. Overall I was pleased with the quality and freshness of all the items. Definitely will be back...more than likely in person for my next visit.

The chicken fried steak was not 11 ounces. The breading may have been 11 ounces but the chicken fried steak was so thin when we removed the breading. There was no steak. It was a very thin layer of ground "meat". It was so thin it was as though it was some kind of meat spread, definitely not worth $20.49. I should have taken a picture of the breading, but if you take a look at the picture that someone else posted of their chicken fried steak, you can see how thin it is. I told the waiter that the chicken fried steak was very disappointed and showed him the reason why. He said that he would let the manager know. Also order the Tender beef short ribs with a red wine bone broth demiglace. The short ribs were reheated on the griddle and not tender, like braised short ribs are supposed to be. The demiglace was very salty. I'm glad it was served on mashed potatoes to take up some salt. The green beans were stirfry and overdone because they were dried out. I won't be ordering the chicken fried steak or the short ribs in the future if I go back to Hug-Hes.
