The had a special $1.00 taco. It didn’t say what kind of taco. So I asked for fish taco they said not that one, so I asked for a shrimp taco, they said we out, so I don’t know what taco they have on special. Last time I ordered a burrito meat only they made it with rice beans and very little meat.

I was waiting for my Uber driver after making dropping my car off for service at Toyota and figured I'd stop in and get something to eat while I wait. There was one person in the store ordering and she was "exploring " the menu and asking about everything, which is fine I get it totally understandable. The cashier was making conversation with her about her and complimenting her dog she had in her purse which was cute I admit. However now it's been about 8 mins and my driver was 14mins away.... so I wait some more very patiently not saying a word and keeping my distance behind a counter area. Then all of a sudden in walks a service person from Toyota and goes right up to the counter and grabs a soda and orders food from a little girl behind the counter who I assume was the cashier's daughter yet I didn't know she was even taking orders because she looks like she's 11 yrs old!! I mean I've been standing there waiting for what has been well over 10mins now and clearly I'm wanting to order something. The guy probably assumed I had already ordered so I place no blame on him for jumping right in there and helping himself to order. I'm just disappointed a nice place like this with most likely pretty good food based on the smell and pictures I saw yet equal service for ALL customer's was not apparent. The lady had already paid and tipped the cashier 10 bucks and perhaps that's why they both kept talking for a while AFTER the order was already done and paid for in full. So disappointed....

I ordered the breakfast burrito over all tasted okay but I would have liked it to be less cheesy since that's all I tasted on very bite. But next time I order from here I'll request that. Hope next time I could post great tasting burrito.

Wow! What a delicious s surprise while waiting for our car to be serviced. This little cafe can beat any five star restaurant for breakfast. The sausage biscuits and gravy were light and fluffy and perfectly seasoned. The eggs were done to perfection and as ordered and the waffles had a hint of cinnamon. This is a must for breakfast or lunch if you need to get your car serviced but also an excellent choice if you want a great meal.

#quarantinepost | Came here with my fiancé to get his car serviced. This was our first time here and were pretty amazed of how clean and big Toyota's Parts & Service was. Jonatan (Assistant Manager) helped get us set up and was super patient, nice and knowledgeable. Stopped into their cafe and was greeted by the cutest cashier. We both ordered breakfast burritos, (1) Tundra & (1) Tacoma - gosh their names are too relevant (cute though), and they were pretty delicious and reasonably priced about $5 bucks per burrito. Not bad at all! Wish I took photos but we demolished the food. Service was good, waiting for our food took about 10 mins, and they had some outdoor seating (shaded area). 10/10 RECOMMEND! I'm almost certain that I want a Toyota just because I enjoy their Parts & Service area with the Cafe! Lol

This place is great I've been eating there for about two weeks now and haven't been let down by any of their food. They have an awesome deal on taco Tuesdays $20 for 25 tacos and they don't skimp on the meat. The office I work at likes the five dollar breakfast burrito deal we get them almost every other day. I would recommend this place to all my friends and family. You won't be disappointed theatre are still in the process in getting the full menu up. Oh and give the pork belly tacos a try they are the best!

Well, the breakfast burrito I ordered was excellent.Then later I ordered a coffee. (A kuerig pod for $3.75). The girl brewed the coffee in the machine that was right out by the customers with an un-masked man standing directly over it talking to someone behind the counter. While my coffee was out in the open brewing. Okay, that is unsanitary even in normal times. I couldn't believe she offered me the coffee afterwards. I told her I didn't want the coffee. No sorry or anything. Disgusting.

So I was looking at other breakfast/lunch places to grab something to eat. And I saw this cafe that I haven't been to before. Of course, I always look at Yelp first and check out pictures that other people took of the food and also what's on the menu. It looked pretty good. I was kind of hesitant since it was attached to the Toyota dealership, but I wanted to go in to try their Sunrise breakfast sandwich accompanied with a Vanilla ice coffee. I walked in and the dining area looked good but I looked at wall where their menu is supposed to be and it was nonexistent. They had one small menu up that was labeled "Don't Know What to Order Menu". Thought that with COVID-19 they had a simplified menu for the meantime. But as I was looking at the menu, all they had was different quesadillas and burritos to choose from. And the restaurant was called By the Way GRILL. Not cafe anymore. So I asked the cashier if this was it for the menu and she said yes. Then looks like a manager or someone came from behind her and told me "I have other stuff on the menu, it's just I don't have a menu up there yet." I said "Ok, I looked at your Yelp page, and there were things like the Sunrise breakfast sandwich?" And he stated "Oh that was the Cafe, this is a Grill now." So I also asked if they had any iced coffee as well. And that was a no. They had some bakery items... a couple muffins and breads sealed in saran wrap. But did not look appetizing. They had drinks, but were bottled drinks that you can just get at a gas station or grocery store. In the end, I was very disappointed that I wasted my time coming here and expected something different. I did not have time to pick up food elsewhere so I ordered two of these sized burritos (Tundra and Tacoma) for $17 and change! Which is ridiculous to me for that price! You can get better and BIGGER burritos elsewhere. It did not taste that good either. Please at least update your Yelp page so that people don't come here and make the same mistake I did.

Great cheeseburgers - they even made mine in a lettuce wrap and with a salad! Soon yummy!

What a dissapointment! Ordered a caramel blended coffee using their fat free sugar and it was all Ice. I wish I could had taken a picture.

I originally came in to try their chai latte but they were out so I got the chata latte. While I was waiting and looking at the menu, I decided to try their chorizo burrito. I really liked both items and would recommend them. The burrito had lots of great flavors and the salsa that comes with it compliments it well. Can't wait to come back and thy their chai and maybe the pastrami melt. Oh and the cashier was friendly, the space was clean, and service was quick.

It was so good. Shrimp burrito #1!!! We also tried the churro donut and were bit disappointed. It is incredible!!

Very clean, easy to find parking and a friendly cashier. That's why I'm giving it 4 stars. I ordered a chorizo breakfast burrito. It was for sure a breakfast burrito with the eggs and potatoes cooked perfectly, the part I thought was lacking was the chorizo... It was mostly egg, cheese, potato with a hint of chorizo that added little to no flavor. I'll head back again if I'm in the area but at the moment this is just an "ehh" kinda place Plus is the fresh squeezed Orange Juice!
