Went to lunch with a buddy Seems like the place changes since last visit Was not sure what to expect The good news was the same young man was still there from the previous restaurant iteration I orders the Pork Chili Verde Burrito I normally do not order pork at a Mexican restaurant because I had a few disappointing experiences No so here! The sauce was really good Nice size pieces of perfectly cooked pork Nice potatoes as well Probably the best Pork Chili Verdi I've ever had If this is one of your favorite items, give this one a try! Hopefully, you will like it as much as I did read more

Food: The food was good. The rajas taco was generous, and the carne asada taco was average, though the added hot sauce I adked for definitely improved the flavor. The oddly shaped chips were okay though the fresh and flavorful salsa made up that. Delicious beans. Service: The waitress was working alone during dinner hours, which worried me for a bit, but she was on it. She was pleasant, took my order and brought my drink promptly. She was attentive and my food came out in good time. Good customer service. Ambiance: Clean, casual, nicely decorated given the small space. read more

If you're looking for authentic Mexican this is not the place. So many good reviews and yet the flavor was totally the opposite. I had the green chilaquiles. The salsa was great! I wish they put more though. The beans tasted canned with Orange cheese. Papas were ok, and sour cream was missing. Eggs were perfectly done but not seasoned. My to go packet salt was double pepper instead of salt and pepper which I'm guessing was a factory mishap. Strawberry horchata tasted like strawberries and water. No horchata taste at all. First the atmosphere, it looks ok, nothing fancy, nothing dirty. The crowd was mostly elderly, and let's say more Americanized. The service- was ok. I walked up to the counter and a lady who said so and so will take your order. No problem, she was busy, and she delegated it to someone else. I don't have a problem with that, I don't need my ego stroked and I respect she knew she was in the middle of getting her order out, so she grabbed someone to help me. The wait- not too long but not too quick either. I went to an outside table to wait. Out comes the owner with an elderly lady who was upset that she didn't get asked how her day was and how her life is. She wanted more attention. The worst thing was the owner was talking crappy about the worker with the customer in front of a new customer. Boo, shame on you and orange cheese on beans is not Mexican. read more

The place was clean neat and had beautiful color Mexican tiles. Great service , we got free refill on the salsa and chips. read more

If you're local to the area, you would know that this new restaurant replaced Rosarito Grill. It's typically rare, nigh impossible, to be pleasantly surprised when you find out a local spot you used to frequent has been replaced - but Amigas Cafe has proven to be the exception. Now La Habra has no shortage of Mexican food, but good Mexican food is a different story. I was fortunate enough to be served by the owner (and learned that she also runs another establishment in the area). She was pleasant and struck up conversation whilst I looked over the menu and it became very apparent that she cares greatly about the food she serves, noting how she updated the recipes from the prior restaurant. The owner shared more of her personal story and the common theme I saw was resilience. With her experience and dedication to what comes out the kitchen, I expect this cafe to become a new local landmark quite quickly. I've been a handful of times now having had the Chilaquiles and the Breakfast burrito, both of which were delicious! I'll be coming by more in the future - can't wait to try the other dishes. read more

Amigas Cafe - Chilaquiles - Mexican Near Me - Whittier, California

My daughter and I were looking for a place to have breakfast- we stumbled across this place- it's right at the corner of First and Whittier Blvd in Whittier. In the shopping center. We walked in and immediately greeted by a waiter- he was very kind and welcoming. I ordered cafe de olla which was very delicious- my daughter ordered chorizo and egg and I had chilequilles with eggs over easy- it was delicious- we asked the waiter how long they've been open and he mentioned a few months however it is the same owner from the green chile in La Habra- however the food will be a bit different- more of the El Paso flavor. I liked that the place was clean- loved the decor and my daughter and I spent quality time a delicious breakfast and the price was average. read more

Food was very flavorful. Biscuit and gravy was full of flavor, not like other eatery's which are bland. Chicken fried steak was a good portion and covered with their gravy. Server was polite and quick to take our order. Its location is easy to enter and exit from the parking lot. It has a good size dining area and outdoor seating at a calm location. And the cafe de olla was great and I highly recommend this place. read more

Food was very good service was excellent we just found this lil Gem been back two times already highly recommend

New restaurant in the area, so I went to go try it out. Had a breakfast special burrito $10. Nice size burrito, heavy after 2 bites, this is a great tasting burrito. I would eat here again. No, problem. Other people in the restaurant seem to be enjoying their breakfast plates. Also I would highly recommend this. Try the burrito 10 bucks can't go wrong cheaper than McDonald's. read more

Stopped in for dinner on what I think was one of their first days open. Parking was plentiful and convenient. We were greeted and welcomed in immediately. We were hungry, so everything sounded good. Our server was so helpful when it came to offering suggestions or answering any questions we had about the menu. We kinda ordered a little bit of everything and were really happy with every item we ordered. The Rajas were incredible, and it will probably end up being one of those must have items whenever we come. Their red salsa was amazing too, so much flavor and I loved the chunkiness which was the perfect addition to my shredded roast beef taco. I was really happy with our experience here. I was looking over their breakfast menu and will definitely be back soon! read more

I came in and thought I'd give this place a try since under new ownership. I was very disappointed because the chili on the shrimp tacos was so hot. I couldn't even eat it. I had to wipe off all the chili from the shrimps. I ordered two tacos, rice and beans and it came out to $24. I did call in about it and they said that others had also complained about the heat level. I'll try it out one more time and hope that I just got one bad experience. Hope next dish I'll enjoy more or ask for no chili, the way it's advertised on the menu says "red sauce". It should read shrimp diablo read more

Their butter pancakes are so good! Their service is friendly but sometimes takes awhile for you food but it's worth it.

Such a great addition to Whittier! I ordered the chilaquiles with red sauce, which we're amazing. Red sauce is mild, so you may need to kick it up a notch if you really want heat. Chips were crunchy IYKYK and the portion was generous. The star of the meal was the cafe de oyo. OMGosh so good. Highly recommend this place. Can't wait to go back. read more

Visited this little hole in the wall this morning for my birthday breakfast. Found it on yelp and hubby and I decided to give it a try, let me just say this little cafe did not disappoint! Everything was fresh and absolutely delicious my husband had the rib eye steak he said it was perfectly cooked he also had the French toast I had the chilaquiles plate with no eggs, the owner was kind enough to replace the eggs with fresh avocado at no charge, absolutely delicious I also had the Belgian waffle, I did feel it was a little undercook but I'm sure I can request it well done next time the owner is so kind and aims to please her costumers. This is our new spot. Definitely coming back! read more

I could not resist the urge to leave a review. The moment they served me freshly made chips that had a perfect crisp with a dash of salt and paired with a flavorful green salsa I knew it was going to be good. I ordered two beef taquitos as an appetizer and their breakfast torta that comes with potatoes as a side. I also ordered a side of calabacitas. As simple as it sounds it brought me back to moments in the kitchen with my abuelita. Everything feels fresh to order and that alone is hard to find. The portions were perfect. I also loved the cozy atmosphere. These are the classic "hole in the wall" spots that you want to keep coming to. read more

I have bern here more than once. Amigas Cafe has some great food items! The chile relleno taco is amazing. The chile relleno has great flavor. Add in beans and rajas, wrap all of that in a fresh tortilla and the taste is memorable. The rajas, in or on anything is my Amigas go to! I always receive friendly and great service. Lina, the owner, is always friendly and willing to help you make a choice if you are not sure what to order. She makes sure her customers are taken care of! read more

Amigas has been a great addition to the neighborhood. The food is made fresh and everything we've had has been delicious. The chorizo breakfast burrito has been my favorite. I can't stop coming back for it. The owners and their staff are always friendly. It's easy to miss them when driving by the shopping center. They're closer to First street. read more

The food is good- I especially like the chorizo breakfast burrito. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu!

We came for breakfast Friday we ordered our food at 12:40 pm our food did not arrive until 1:12 pm and the order was not even complete. We had to leave without eating and take whatever was served to go because the wait was too long. I always like to support small businesses but unfortunately I will not be returning. The owner states that the food was not billed, this was because I cancelled it not because they offered to deduct it which would have been the courteous throng to do! read more

To be fair this is the second time I have been to Amigas cafe. The first time it was an amazing experience the food was Delicious. The eggs and sausage breakfast with potatoes and beans was amazing. The cafe de olla with the pilloncillo sweetener was perfect and I loved the music they played. The woman whom it looked like was the owner was so warm and friendly. Today it was a completely different experience. There was a young lady who lacked customer service skills. I ordered the red chilaquiles that come with beans and potatoes and asked for scrambled eggs. What was brought out was the eggs mixed with the chilaquiles a sloppy mess as soon as she put the plate in front of me and I noticed I asked her are the eggs mixed in she said yes and just walked away. Didn't bother to ask is something wrong? I asked my brother to order me a side of bacon and some tortillas so I could eat something because I was not going to eat the soggy mess on the plate. The young lady brought out the bacon and tortillas and saw the food untouched and still didn't bother to ask if anything was wrong or heaven forbid if they could remake something for me. And she had no problem bringing out the bill and charging me for the plate of uneaten chilaquiles. I had to pay almost $7 for a side of bacon so I could actually eat something. Disappointed because the potatoes they serve are HEAVENLY! I could eat them everyday. I have never had eggs mixed in with the chilaquiles,yes I understand that different regions make their recipes differently,but if you are going to break from the norm maybe let people know. read more

I ordered the huevos rancheros and I was not impressed. I was served a lot of beans and home potatoes more than anything else. Red and green salsa had no flavor.

We just randomly happened upon this little gem while looking for a coffee truck. Cute hidden place, when I walked in completely packed which was a good sign. The waitress who took my to go order was the best, offering me free coffee while I waited. Some of the best Cafe De Olla I have had, and even made a special Mocha Coffee for my BF waiting in the car! Now for the food, we order a 2 chile verde breakfast burritos, one sausage breakfast burrito and because I love pozole but very particular I ordered a cup to try! Omg when I tel you the meat i. the chille verde burritos was so tender and flavor full, it didn't even need the delicious salsa given to us! The sausage burrito was also very good, loved the potatoes were crispy inside the burrito....and the burritos were vet big can easily be shared! Now for the pozole, yes the broth was the best part and for such a small cup loaded with meat that was tender as well! Can't wait to go back and order a full bowl! 10 out of 10 highly recommend this place and will be going back to try their dinner as well soon! read more
