“ Everything I have had here is absolutely delicious. My favorite by far is the chipotle chilaquiles. They have a spicy kick while still being creamy. The side potatoes and beans are incredible. I always get the cafe de olla which is the best cafe de olla I've had in SD. The service is always great. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The restaurant is decorated from head to toe with talavera. The only thing is that it's always PACKED for breakfast. The wait times can get so long but with good reason. ”
“ * service was great * The food was delicious * great casual ambiance Today is a holiday so there was no wait however there is always a wait time. They have a great Cafe De la holla if you like sweet coffee you will enjoy it. I always mix half olla half regular and its perception in a cup. Today we tried the Machaca plate and the huevos divorciados the sauces were so tasty loved my plate I finished everything I mean even there beans were good they tasted homemade. A must-try. We definitely will be back. ”
“ Delicious food but at a price. If you're in the mood for some delicious authentic Mexican breakfast/brunch, this is your place. The food is amazing and well priced compared to other similar locations. If you decide to eat here you're going to have to be mentally prepared to experience long wait times to be seated and to get your server to make eye contact after you've ordered. We arrived at 11 am on a Sunday and waited until 1145 to be seated. The inside is a little compact but its adorned with talaveras and other cute trinkets. Personally, i would like to see more trinkets displayed to give it more ambience. It was pretty warm in there and the AC seemed to be struggling. My only gripe with this place is that we were thirsty and getting our server's attention was difficult. She was incredibly busy and both my partner and i are introverts so it was a little stressful trying to get her attention. We just wanted a refill on our coffee (free refills btw) and water. ***i suggest management consider placing a water jug on each table and perhaps someone just in charge of refills or giving utensils (She forgot to give us utensils) walking around to help the servers. We ordered the chipotle and poblano chilaquiles with shredded beef. The beans were magical. The shredded beef was moist and flavorful and the potatoes were beautifully goldened to perfection. We also ordered 2 cafe de ollas totalling 48 dollars (no tip included). Ultimately, the wait is 100% worth it. I left feeling so satisfied. Parking is a mess but you can always find parking on the street. Pro tip: On Sundays, there is a farmer's market across the street. If you're given a wait time of over 30 min, go for a stroll. ”
“ Awesome brunch spot in CV! They have plenty of tradition Mexican breakfast style options too choose from. It can get busy since they're only open until 2pm so you might have to wait to get seated but I'd say it's worth it. The place is nice a clean and the staff is really friendly. ”
“ After seeing the amount of people waiting outside, I was prepared to skip this place but glad I didn't. The wait was shorter than expected and the inside was clean and nicely decorated. We ordered the poblano sauce chilaquiles and chipotle sauce chilaquiles and both were even better than expected. They were so creamy, flavorful and not too spicy. The potatoes were perfectly cooked and seasoned too. Definitely adding this place on my list of favorite brunch spots. ”
