We arrived at 830 on a friday, there were only 2 tables of couples, by 930 it was packed with people waiting outside. The food was amazing, honestly the freshest and most delicious conchas I've had in a long time! The food was amazing. Every bite was filled with flavor and balanced perfectly. The bandit iced latte was so good, it was juat sweet enough. I love that the menu isnt overwhelming with a ton of options, it has the right amount of options. The cafe was very clean and vibrant. I will say the music was a bit loud for me, loved what was playing but the volume was just a little too high for my liking. Im honestly in love with this place and cant wait to try more things on the menu!

... and then there's the Mando's Hash and the café de olla! Wonderful! I might have to keep coming back just to see if there's anything I don't like ;)

Bomb ass food! There's nothing worse than bad Mexican food when you're Mexican but man, this place does not disappointed ! It's so so goood! Everything we ordered came out pretty quick, tasted authentic AF! Straight from my abuelitas kitchen and the salsa actually had some kick! The mini Conchitas are so soft and the kids devoured them! Everyone here is so friendly, kind, great service! They kept checking on us continuously and the place is super cute! Very well decorated and it smelled very good inside also!

Great place to come and check out, the food and beverages/coffee was amazing, come early in the morning, because by 10:00 am you will have to make a line, that's how wonderful this place is. They serve you complimentary concha's with your order, delicious

Wolf in sheep's clothing. Looks like a typical Mexican food spot from the outside. Walked into a beautiful bistro feel. Music and wonderful smells from the kitchen. Coffee is sourced from a local roaster and was very good. Lost of coffee drinks to choose from as well. Complementary sweet beads freshly made in house were excellent.I ordered Mondo's Hash which is pork short ribs braised in a spicy adobo sauce over roasted potatos. Topped with a egg sunny side up and pickled onion. Very well balanced flavors.My wife got the chorizo burrito. This has chorizo, potato, cheese and tomatillo salsa that brings a kick. Served with a side spicy avocado sauce that took this thing over the top.Great experience. We will have to make the drive a few times a year to visit this gem.

What can I say about this Cafe that has not already been said you gotta love it, not too big and over crowded but not too small that it's cramped , all the servers are super nice and they start out with bringing out the best little concha's I've ever had and they are free wow no one does that. Only problem with menu is deciding what to get everything looks so good and then there is a screen on wall showing you how good all the food looks witch makes it harder to pick just one meal, only way to do this is keep coming back to give it all a try and the coffee with concha's I can eat those all day lol , chilaquiles bomb ,Cali sandwich so good and to top it off tres letches pancakes omg I'll be back soon

We’ve been wanting to try this place but there’s always a huge wait time. We were up early today and arrived at 7:30am. No line and we had the place almost to ourselves!I started with their specialty coffee. She started to described it and said cinnamon and that was as far as she needed. It was over the top amazing.Breakfast was chilaquiles with added carne asada. I had mine with scrambled eggs, hubby got over easy. The red chile is the best we’ve tasted. Made from scratch, this stuff is authentic. Real red chile, not enchilada sauce or ranchero sauce. If you know, you know.Service was superior, small inside dining hold about 75 people.They have cocktails that I will definitely try later.Open until 3:30pm. They have a few items that aren’t listed on the menu like enchiladas and flautas.Almost don’t want to share because it’s sooooooo good!See ya there!

The molcajete was delicious, plate was hot , it burned my tongue on every bite I had . This place is hidden , so I would say it's a, hole in the wall very hidden but very delicious, I recommend this place to my friends and family ! If I had a rating system it would be a 8 out of 10 , very delicious!!!!

I love a chilaquiles. Quite tasty. Had a mix of the red and green sauce. The red is spicy which I like. The servers are super friendly and nice. It was pretty lively place for a Monday morning. No wait for a table but I'm sure there is a wait on the weekends.
