    Burrito
    Bella S.

    Great experience for our first visit! Food was delicious and restaurant was clean and plenty of tables. Service was good and we will Definitely be going back!

    Okay, we were driving by Oakdale, and see a 4.6 star joint with over 400 reviews. It must be legit. We had to stop by. Initially we weren't too excited that it was Latin food, not because we don't like it but after a long drive none of us were in the mood for taking risks. Other than the guac not being absolutely fresh (still fresh though), the food turned out to be awesome, given the location and price point. The fish taco with battered cod was perhaps one of the best I've had. It almost came out like a Mexican salad with plenty of onions, lettuce on a bed of rice. But lifted with tortillas, it was again fascinating. The steak was juicy but you shouldn't expect steakhouse steak here. And the pasta was also solid for the kids. Also, the gentleman who served us was super friendly. We initally felt like we were being stood up but once he found us, everything was wonderful. Oakdale is a city/town you drive by a lot on your way to Yosemite. And when doing so, I highly recommend stopping by at Cafe Bravo. You'd be pleasantly surprised at the caliber of Latin comfort food they serve.

    Chicken burrito

    What an amazing lunch. Came in today not knowing what to expect. Ordered a chicken wet burrito. WOW! Huge portions love it. Service was great as well. Second I entered the restaurant I was greeted with a smile and right to a seat. Restaurant has a nice Latin atmosphere with music and dim lighting. Definitely a must try.

    Chicken pesto quesadilla
    Benita R.

    Excellent customer service. Very good food. Pictured are the chicken pesto quesadilla and chimichanga. We travel almost an hour each way to frequent Cafe Bravo! The chips and salsa are delicious. They have a bar, tables and chairs and booths. Great for a date night. Good location and lots of free parking.

    Tacos, queso, and build your own.

    Finally made it to Café Bravo after hearing about it for what feels like forever and I'm so glad we did! We stopped by as soon as they opened, and that place filled up fast for lunch!! The food was amazing, drinks were on point, and the whole vibe was warm, welcoming and charming . Our server was awesome too. Great little spot that totally lived up to the hype after all these years!!

    Disgusting

    Spent over 50.00 on dinner this place trash especially not cooking my kid's chicken strips all the way through how do u mess up on chicken strips.. Will never go back and will tell my other family not to return. You can get folks sick on uncooked meat..

    Combo taco and relleno / red sauce was good rice was excellent
    Dave L.

    Good place. Mexican fusion type cuisine. Service is good. Room is loud regardless of where you sit. Food is interesting. Good appetizers, great flavor across the entrees, high quality ingredients, excellent salsa. Have had several items here, all are good. Price is a bit high, but portions are generous and you don't feel like you got robbed.

    Pesto shrimp
    Laura B.

    Cafe Bravo is a restaurant with a full service bar. The place was packed the night we dined (Friday night). I highly suggest making reservations! Our waitress was so nice I wish I remembered her name so I can shout her out here. We had a fairly large group and she took care of us with wonderful service. The restaurant is broken up into 3 rooms it seemed like. They have an option to sit at the bar but then they also have high tables and regular tables throughout restaurant. The bathroom is the sore spot of the restaurant as it is a one stall restaurant. Most of the time you have to wait in line. The best dish I tried was the pesto shrimp that my friend ordered. I highly recommend. Will I be back? YES... especially for the pesto shrimp.

    The Steak Fajita burrito at Cafe Bravo is the bomb. Love it!
    John M.

    I got a chance to eat at Cafe Bravo this afternoon and was delighted as usual over my favorite dish not on the menu. The steak fajita burrito Is the star of the show. Whitney was my gorgeous waitress today, and made my visit even more special. Great food, great service and great environment. Very clean and inviting.

    It's alright. They try to be a little too creative with their menu. But it's a good atmosphere.

I loved the jerk pork tacos! The pork was juicy, tender, and aromatic, and the mango-papaya salsa added a refreshing sweetness. I also tried the paella Oyo that my sister ordered which was sooo yummy and full of protein. The small size was more than enough! My mom ordered the oxtail stew which wasn't on their brunch/lunch menu (dinner only), but I really appreciate that they were accommodating to make that dish for her. I've never had oxtail and it was delicious--tender, perfectly sweet and savory, and paired well with the plantains. The other dishes that my family ordered were hits too (jerk pork shoulder and seafood paella). We also tried the ripe plantains pancake Oscar for a sweet treat. I love anything marshmallow, so the brûléed marshmallow cream that blanketed the pancakes was heavenly. It also came with a plantain on top and a few other fruits to balance out the sweetness. Overall, we left full and all around very satisfied. The staff showed us such warm hospitality and came around often to check on us, despite being an almost packed house. The decor was beautiful and the atmosphere had a fun lively energy. With indoor and outdoor seating options, anywhere you get seated is a nice spot. Can't wait to visit again to try their dinner menu items and drinks, and hopefully catch some live music!
