“ Oh my god! What an amazing restaurant. We decided to try this restaurant for my mother's birthday and we couldnt be happier. I found this restaurant after scrolling on Google for Mexican brunch places and decided to take a chance. We ordered the thres leches waffles, rojo chilaquiles, chicken fajitas and the chicken enchiladas. To say we were satisfied was an understatement. The service was amazing and accommodating. The tended to all of our needs and we're very bright and sweet. The ambiance is cute as well with nice lightingal and windows to allow natural light to enter and music. I will definitely be coming again in the future. ”
“ Great food, great service, great prices... it's a win. I've gone a few times and everything is consistent ”
“ First time trying Cubano torta, which came with all of the meats and it was delicious. The service was great. My food was served. The green salsa was nice and spicy and try the mango. Nada with the Chamoy stick definitely will be back. It's a few things on the menu. I wanna try I wish I lived closer. My friend had the chicken Tinga so that was so delicious and juicy and flavorful. She enjoyed her meal. ”
“ By far the best Mexican breakfast spot I've tried this year! I found this place on TikTok and have driven past it multiple times without noticing. So glad I stumbled upon this place. We dined in during breakfast time. There is so much variety in the menu here it was hard to pick just one plate. We ordered the Mexican Benedict and the Chilaquiles TriColor. I have no words!!! Both plates were delicious and the meats were seasoned so well. The chilaquiles had three different sauces and my favorite was the green sauce. The amount of flavor in every element of the dish complimented each other. As far as the Mexican Benedict, the chorizo and picked onion paired well together. The bread was a little soggy, so eat it fast! Service here was excellent! We were seated right away and our waitress was constantly checking on us to make sure everything was okay. Overall a great spot to visit when you're craving authentic Mexican food! ”
“ It was late on a Sunday and we just wanted pancakes, and didn't wanna make it at home. We figured Denny's was the only choice available until this place showed up on yelp. I called ahead to make sure that they were still offering breakfast items and sure enough, they were! But when we sat down, it didn't take us long to look at the menu and decide on ordering other items. I decided on the pozole since you can't get that any other day of the week, and my husband chose the shrimp tacos. And, of course.... A short stack of buttermilk pancakes. Everything was so good! I can't believe this is the first time we've ever gone here! Not only was the food delicious, but customer service was excellent! I think we just found our new favorite Mexican spot! ”
“ Came here on a Sunday afternoon. It wasn't too packed and service was quick. The server and I think owner/manager were very attentive the whole time. Now the food... omg THE FOOD. I could not get over how good the birria skillet was. The milanesa torta was a generous size and full of flavor. The waffle was so so delicious but I do wish it had been served warm. Not sure if it just sat too long during a busy moment? Really my only complaint 10/10 HIGHLY recommend if you're looking for a new mexican brunch spot. You won't be disappointed ”
“ I visited this delightful restaurant on Friday. I was greeted by two delightful females. I ordered a savory guacamole, agua fresca and fish tacos. Perfectly seasoned, portioned & tasty with a medium enjoyable spiced dressing. I enjoyed the music and atmosphere. Will be back soon. ”

If you haven't tried this gem please do. You will be glad you came. ”
“ Newish restaurant in Saratoga where a Starbucks used to be. The menu is definitely unique primarily because there is a pasta section with Italian dishes. Didn't try any - at least this time. There's also a separate breakfast menu that looks really good - again pancakes, waffles and French toast isn't your typical Mexican fare, but it is what it is. Tinga Chicken Tostadas Topped with refried beans, lettuce, sour cream, cotija cheese and avocado salsa. Comes with rice and beans. Taco Campechano Pork steak, refried beans, chorizo, nopales, potatoes, cabbage, green salsa and lime. Comes with handmade tortillas. Horchata Milky good with LOTS of cinnamon Quality is undeniable here and it's a must stop for Mexican food lovers for its authenticity and uniqueness. That's all. ”
“ It is nice to find a Mexican restaurant on the west side with quality food and some creativity in their dishes. I really enjoy their Huevos Rancheros, which is served on an open-faced fried tortilla kind of like a fusion of a Benedict and a taco. Their Birria is served in a skillet and I was instantly envious of my friend who had ordered it. I would really dig the Chilaquiles but their salsa verde is a little bit acidic for my taste. Their pozole has a good flavor but is a bit watery. The Cafe de Olla is also a good accompaniment to breakfast, with the cinnamon-accented coffee. The dining area looks like it used to be a classic American diner-type of restaurant. There is also a nice outdoor patio with 4-5 tables. I got the sense that it was a family-run business. Friendly staff and good service. Their food holds up well when delivered. ”
