We had a great lunch and the restaurant is really cute. Great food, coffees and deserts. I had the Machaca burritos with rice and beans and my friend had the tuna sandwich with minestrone soup. Both were really good. The salsa with the chips is delicious. The service is fantastic.
Lovely place, inside and outside seating. Ordered a cafe de la olla with Chilaquiles de Mole Oaxaqueño. Tasty coffee but too sweet, ask for half regular coffee. Chilaquiles were delicious, came with beans and potatoes.
A pretty spot with a nice ambiance for a date or a coffee. I was promptly seated and ordered a pitcher of strawberry lemonade for the table, though there was a variety of drinks available. Despite the restaurant being empty, a group was seated in the booth next to us, causing discomfort as their belongings touched ours and they constantly looked over at our party. While this behavior wasn't the restaurant's fault, the seating arrangement certainly was. We were given chips and salsa. The chips started stale but the salsa was great. The food was underwhelming: the rice was hard, the mole was mediocre, and the sopa azteca was unimpressive. The sopa de tortilla, however, was excellent. When it came time for dessert, I was disappointed to find that, despite an extensive dessert menu, only the options I disliked were available.
Came here to have breakfast and I honestly loved it! The food was absolutely amazing I would go back all the time if I could. I really liked the vibe I thought it looked like a cute coffee shop and when we asked for directions the waiters were extremely helpful. Overall I definitely think this place is worth a try!
First, I would say the service is eh. They need to update the whole waitlist. Maybe even try to go digital, and add phone numbers to contact us when the table is ready? Felt there were some discrepancies because some people who barely arrived and asked about the wait times somehow got sat immediately. How are you sure the people you call are the actual people? There were numerous times when someone's name gets called and no one responds, but the people who suddenly arrive say that they are them. Getting sat down once you are called and ordering was quick, but getting the check took a while. TIP: Make sure to look at the digital menu while waiting to get seated. I was disappointed with the Birria Chilaquiles. Felt like it was missing something I just can't pinpoint it. Mango soda was pretty good just make sure to give it a good swirl. Overall okay experience, the vibe was just ruined with the whole waitlist and service. I expected a little more than I should have.
Nice little spot my omelette and toast were on point with lots of flavor. Their salsas area also really good my wife had a great juice that no pic was taken of and it was really good. Service was good and place is very nice and classy. They have a variety of things from crepes to pancakes and steak but have not tried them. Can't wait to return and explore the menu.
Great atmosphere, last of different choices of food , the best cream of corn around tj, I think
Great service and a big menu to choose from, we got seated outdoors and it was very nice and spacious. Our party of 12 was serviced quickly and the staff was attentive
The food was great and the service was excellent. Only complaint was they sat us by the door which kept opening and it was freezing. I had the chile relleno and my girlfriend got the chicken enchiladas. Would love to come back for breakfast.
I went to one near Otay last time. This one was just as busy. The hostess said it was a 15 minutes wait. We walked around for a few minutes and came back when my name was called. I had the cappuccino and just the fruit salad. It was great. Jackie had a regular salad and cake. Both were good.
What an experience, the food was very good but the deserts were even better , I don't think I've ever had a Nutella/ strawberry and chocolate crepe as food as the one I had here , it was just absolutely perfect, very good I've never had one this good, the coffee de la flor was just as good, full of flavor and just delicious. The service was attentive, fast and very courteous. Do yourself a favor and come eat here , the line is long but very fast , totally worth it .
Cleanliness: 5 Ambience: 5 Parking : 4 (paid) Menu selection: 5 Food quality: 5 Prices: 3 Service: 2 Seating comfort: 4 Restrooms: 3 This restaurant is located in the shopping center next to the movie theater. During peak times it can be quite crowded. They do offer a wide variety of foods on their menu; everything for Mexican antojitos, sandwiches (bagels, paninis, tortas, club), to pastas, salads, crepes, soups, nachos, wings, etc. They also offer a breakfast menu. They have a wide variety of drinks. Everything from soft drinks, teas, lemonade, wine, and other alcohol. The ambience is classy. The place is well decorated, suitable for small groups, families, business meetings, or even a date night. Everything I saw was very clean. The food is very good, but the service is slow. They managed to mess up both my order and my friend's. My pasta was missing the chicken, so I had to send it back for them to add the chicken. Instead of a crêpe, my friend was delivered a torta which also had to be sent back. We were short on time, and their lack of efficiency cost us another half an hour. I am hoping that was an anomaly and not the norm. It was very hard to get the attention of our server when we needed him. I did enjoy the food once I got it. But I was so hungry by then I probably would've been happy with just about anything. The prices are fair for the kind of restaurant it is. I would consider giving them another chance and trust for better service.
We came here to have lunch one weekend. The drive was not far from our hotel, and we found parking along the street. This cafe is clean, nicely decorated, and quite charming. The other patrons were well dressed and nice folks. The host and the waiters were friendly and very attentive. We were shown to our table almost immediately. Our waiter wasted no time in getting out drinks while we perused the menu. To start off, I went with a tortilla soup. The soup was delicious, and amazingly well made. This was a good intro to what was to come: my enchilada dish. The food was a firestorm of flavor, and left me very satisfied but not comatose. The agua fresca that I ordered was flavorful, and not something that would give me a sugar crash afterward. I was very impressed by this cafe. It is now in my radar for my next trip to baja. If you're looking for a great meal in a charming locale, this cafe is definitely recommended. Give em a try!

Muy rico, me encantó todo! El servicio también fue muy bien, la mesera fue muy amable y contestó cada pregunta que tenía. El ambiente también está bien, hay dos pisos lleno de mesas para evitar esa espera que es común en restaurantes. Me gustaría regresar y probar algo diferente read more

We found Cafe de la Flor by happenstance and were very glad we did. Nice restaurant with relaxing ambiance and music. The food was delicious and service very attentive. We tried the cafe de la olla, chilaquiles verdes with huevos rancheros, and the fresh squeezed juices. All delicious. Prices reasonable. We'd definitely come back. read more

After years of procrastinating, I've finally tried them for the very first time. I did buy a cake to go at one point but that's it and it was quite delicious. My visit on the other hand is way far from just a delicious feedback. I came in with wife and grand parents, we noticed there was a wait line but indeed accepted the wait. Fifteen to twenty minutes pass and my name was called. After being seated, my wife ordered a peach tea and was told "they were out of purified water" she was offered sparking water for the tea instead and she agreed. Wife again orders a cream of corn and again "out of stock" Long story short, 4 items were out of stock. I ask from the appetizer menu the "champiñones al ajillo" (garlic mushrooms) I specifically said it was for the center. While the kitchen is prepping our food the server brings small plates for us to share the mushrooms. However our main dishes start arriving and soon everyone has their plate. Server acknowledges we are missing the appetizer and runs back to grab it, returns to the table, realizing there is no open spot on our table, tryies to directly hand me the appetizer instead clearing the table to place the appetizer in the center as I requested but I assume he forgot and since I was the one placing the order, he assumed they were for myself. I had ordered a cola drink and later asked for another cola but after a while he returned, apologizing as they ran out of coke. He assured they were going to remedy the Coke inventory in a matter of seconds to minutes. Chips and salsa were actually good and the Italian panini I had was ok. The minestrone soup was not bad and as for the mushrooms, honestly I didn't even want try them any more, I lost my interest but grandma sure did ask for a box to go. I think she liked them because I did se her give them a try. Grandma had an American coffee which she said she liked and asked for more. I will give them another try just for sake but hopefully on another day of the week. read more
This place is in a convenient location just a few miles away from the border. There is street parking. I came for breakfast on a Monday. It was not too crowded. The space itself is nice and clean. It has a great ambiance. I got a cappuccino with the plate of fruit. They were both so good!!! I highly recommend the coffee. The staff were also very nice and attentive. I paid $11 US dollars for a great breakfast. I'm definitely coming back. read more

I was in Tijuana with a friend at the end of April 2018 and since I had been wanting to try Café de la Flor for quite awhile we dined here. Café de la Flor is located in Plaza Rio mall and if you are coming from the US is about a fifteen minute walk or you can take an Uber. When you first enter you should type in your name and phone number into the tablet as opposed to talking to a host or hostess. Once your table is ready a text will be sent to you. Also be prepared for a text a few hours after your visit to review your dining experience. We first entered at around eight o'clock on a Saturday night and it took around ten minutes to get our table. The menu features enough entrees to please even picky eaters. There were probably close to around a dozen different pasta options. I had the fettucine alfredo and it was delicious. Just to give you an idea of the portion you will receive, we came here because I was hungry and I had to take a to-go box. The fettucine alfredo, and possibly other pasta dishes, come with a two slices of bread. There are quite a few different beverage options such as wines and espresso drinks. I had a latte and it was great. The prices and service of this Café de la Flor location were spot on and I will definitely return in the future to try other items. read more

The restaurant is located in Plaza Rio. Very nice, clean, and very good service. The food was cooked very fast. I ordered "penne de pollo championes" very delicious. I also order a coffee called the "cafe de flor" very delicious. I highly recommend and will come back with my girlfriend Vanessa. 5 stars for service and food quality read more

Seguido vamos. Por lo menos 1 vez por semana; el personal trata de ser ágil y amable pero la verdad es que tardan tiempos irrazonables en atenderte y casi nunca regresan a la mesa para dar seguimiento. A veces la ensalada griega llega al tiempo y con poco feta y a veces el café llega templado. Se tardan las horas para traer la cuenta. Casi nunca tienen variedad de postres, ya es de costumbre que casi nunca tienen más que quesos. El baño a veces está presentable y a veces es un asco, sólo hay un espacio para cada género. Cuentan con valet pero ellos también se súper tardan así que ve con tiempo. read more

The location of this particular spot is ideal if you are coming from the U.S. I have been a fan of Cafe de la Flor for many years for breakfast,lunch, and dinner. I recently tried their matcha latte and it had become my favorite matcha. I recommend the enchiladas poblanos, pollo en Crema de chipotle, and the delicious hot wing appetizer. The only thing is that I it is small and if you are seated at the top level it gets hot! read more

Great service by staff that knows service. The manager came to our table after my husband ordered a pasta without cheese to let him know there was cheese the sauce. Really appreciated that he knew the menu and made sure his order was made to his liking. Very cozy cafe that provides a little break from the hustle and bustle of the surrounding area. We knew the kitchen was good as soon as we tasted our tortilla soup starters! Mmmmm! Nice place to get a salad, which I did because I wanted a piece of cake for dessert! read more
