You'd think the customer is always right in this instance but no not here. I got the chilaquiles but on the menu it didn't not say it had sour cream. I don't like sour cream when they brought it out and I told them the guy just said let me tell the chef if we can change it. Came back and said no that he would have to make a whole new one. What if I was allergic? I don't know stuff like that just left me super upset not only was I trying to take off the sour cream I was forced to eat it , cause what else? What I supposed to not eat? Or they wanted me to pay another dish. That to me wasn't great customer service whatsoever. WILL NOT BE BACK!!!

Must try: Cachapa Chévere!…read more Why: Delicious breakfast, which I tried the Cachapa for the first time! It came with black beans, plantains, cheese, avocado, and I added an egg. The corn battered pancake-like shell was soft sweetness. The Cachapa was much larger than I thought so it was filling! I was happy and my tummy was full to kick off the morning right. Notes: Cute place a few blocks from main 5th Avenue. They have indoor and outdoor seats. Clean and spacious. The server was awesome! Super welcoming and helpful. I was practicing my Spanish while he was practicing English. It was fun and engaging. The other workers were friendly too checking in if I needed anything. They provided 4 shot sized juices to start and my fav was passion fruit. Had a great time and a great breakfast! Definitely saving this place for a future visit!

For your choice of beef, you can select between angus and prime rib. Other meats include pork, chicken, sausage and shrimp. If you'd like to go vegetarian, you can order a burger with mushrooms in place of meat. I ordered the latter, and the mushrooms were of a small variety (maybe button), sliced, and I believe grilled. The burgers come with a side of seasoned fries and several condiments (mayo, mustard, ketchup, BBQ sauce, salsa) are brought to your table that you may add to your burger. There is also a nice selection of baked goods; we tried the coconut bread and it was very moist and flavorful. The staff was very friendly and we had an opportunity to meet with the owner who was very gracious with us as well. Stop by with a big appetite!

It truly is like eating at grandma's house. The decor is vibrant, but the overall vibe is cozy. The service is great, though the seating area did get warm (and we were there in the morning). The food portions are plentiful, and the menu is huge. We just didn't find the food had much flavor to it (which, again, completely subjective). My partner had the chilaquiles (soggy style) which were drowned in a beautifully colored chocolate mole and topped with plenty of tender, shredded chicken. I had the breakfast bagel, which came with lettuce, tomato, and onion, as well as cheese, egg, and bacon (probably why I found the food to be less than seasoned - admittedly it's a simple dish). And, we shared an order or molletes naturales - beans and cheese on a bolillo. Overall the food was good, don't get me wrong, but perhaps due to the nature of the dishes there simply just wasn't enough room for more flavor. I'd return to try their other stuff, because the portions were big, the way the food was cooked was great, and the service was friendly. But in the end, we found it to be just good, nothing mind blowing. Your experience may vary!!!!
