El Paisano Omelette
Anthony R.

Decided to stop by here on a Saturday morning. This cafe has an option to get in line online before arriving so you don't have to wait as long which I like. It was busy but they move fast so we only waited about 20 min. Parking can be a little difficult as it's only street parking. I got the Paisano omlette, I loved how they added the salsa and cheese to imitate the Mexican flag! The omelette had shredded beef that was loaded with all the condiments inside. It is served with a side of hashbrowns that were cooked nice and crispy. I also got a side of pancakes that come with 2. They were cooked very fluffy and buttery. Overall I love coming to cafe de olla!

Ambiance: it's a small and packed brunch place, located in Burbank, street parking only, limited indoor and outdoor seating, expect long waiting time around one hour during weekend perk hours Service: fairly slow, after seated, it took a long time to place order and receive food Food: numerous items on their menu, traditional breakfast and lunch, in both Mexican and American styles MACHACA BURRITO - **** Eggs, shredded beef, onion, tomato, jalapeño, rice, beans, and salsa, flavorful, recommend HUEVOS DIVORCIADOS - *** Two over medium eggs, one cover with red sauce, and another covered with green sauce, served cold and mushy texture CÁFE DE OLLA - *** traditional way of preparing coffee in Mexico, boiling cinnamon sticks, piloncillo spices and ground coffee, very unique flavor for people like cinnamon Price: moderate protons and reasonable prices, expect $25 per person

Chorizo Breakfast Burrito (3 eggs, chorizo, cheese, salsa and hash browns)
Joe C.

First time eating here with friends and I really enjoyed it. My friend put our name down on the waitlist via Yelp while driving and we waited approximately 10 minutes to be seated. Once the table was ready, they called us and sat us down. We ordered and the food came out extremely fast. Whoever is running the kitchen definitely knows what they're doing! I ordered the chorizo burrito with hash brown from their breakfast menu and the cafe de olla. The burrito was fresh and hot with a good kick in spice - the perfect size too. Eating it with the included salsa, it was great! The cafe de Olla was delicious too with a good amount of cinnamon and not overly sweet either. Going to be adding this place to the family's rotation now. It's great, but can get packed as eating is very limited. Street parking is available too. Can't wait to come back! Service was great too!

Veggie Breakfast Burrito
Shawna R.

I went for brunch during the week when it would be less crowded, wait time for a table wasn't long and we were able to snag a seat inside. Our server Matt came to the table right away, grabbed our drinks and answered some questions I had about the menu. I ended up grabbing the poblano chilaquiles (green sauce) it came with rice and creamy beans to dip the chips in. It was delicious, lots of chips so I didn't finish it all but was really good. My cousin got a veggie breakfast wrap and an iced coffee, she said both were really good! They also have gluten free pancakes ($2+ up charge) and will accommodate if you have any allergies, just notify the server. Overall service was great, food was delicious. Seating is limited both inside and outside. Parking is street only, I did find a spot off to the side in the neighborhood with a short walk to the restaurant. **When checking in, note that your whole party needs to be there when the table is ready. They won't seat you before hand.

We've been here multiple times in the morning and always come back for the chilaquiles -- every version we've tried has been amazing. Great flavor, fresh ingredients, and solid portions. We haven't tried their pancakes and other sweet breakfast items yet, but they look really good and are definitely on our list for next time. It's a small, cozy spot, so during busy hours you may have a short wait. A lot of people also stop in to grab coffee and fresh baked goods to go, which shows how popular this place is. Friendly staff, great cozy vibes, and consistently good food. Definitely worth the stop if you're in the area.

This place is tiny so I cannot tell you how important it is to get on the wait-list before you arrive. That being said the food is pretty good, the chorizo is excellent and the chilaquiles are done well and stay crispy for quite some time. I don't recommend beef here other than as machaca it isn't the best cut so it can be hit and miss. The French toast and pancakes really are done well, presented beautifully and worth getting. The cafe de olla is always really good, the perfect blend of spices every time whether iced or hot it's a must try. Fair warning it is a bit sweet. Beans, rice and omelettes are always done well and full of flavors, with crisp veggies and never too spicy. This place always has excellent service I've never had a bad experience. Because it's so small bear in mind it may get loud when you sit inside, sidewalk dining is a good option if you're a large party.

Chilaquiles Divorciados
Siri H.

I've been meaning to try this spot for a minute! We put our name on the list and were told it would be a 45 minute wait!!!! We were wanting to try it, so decided to wait, but did run across the street to get coffee, so we unfortunately didn't try any of the drinks at Cafe de Olla. The servers were friendly and the menu was awesome. My boyfriend and I split the chorreadas, which were SO so good! Great flavor! And my boyfriend got the chilaquiles divorciados with habanero and poblano sauces. This was excellent and the rice and beans were so good. I ordered the all-in-one burrito, which didn't have as much flavor compared to the other two items we got, so it fell a little flat for me, but is otherwise a fine option! This would be great for someone who is worried about something being spicy, but wanting a filling option. I think I will try chilaquiles next time, though. The menu is awesome, so it's totally worth a wait.

Sopes
Linda M.

Really good!! I ordered the sopes with beef. They are small medium size, for me like 4/5 bites. Some reviews said they were super small and I don't think the are. The sauce they give you in the little metal cup is so good!! Some main criticism - I hate that it has cucumbers that is noooot normal for me. I also hate that the onions are not picked! The menu says they are pickled. Other than that their cafe de olla is really good and I would go back!

Chicken Chipotle Sandwich & Iced Cafe de Olla
Angela C.

I've been to the Cafe De Olla in Monrovia, but the one in Burbank is the OG location. It's smaller with a few tables inside and out on the sidewalk. I can see how the wait can be super long here during peak times since the cafe has such few tables. As we came later in the day, we were able to get a table pretty quickly. Plus we got on the Yelp Waitlist so that probably helped. Parking is available only if you're lucky to find a spot in the street. The restroom is tiny and not wheelchair accessible. Pastries for sale are displayed in a vintage cupboard (like those cupboards in your abuelita's living room). Love the extensive menu and brunch that is available all day. I live for their hot Cafe de Olla (they also offer it in iced) and downed a few mugs during my meal - so so good! My friend and I shared the Chipotle Chicken Sandwich and the Banana Pecan French Toast. Both were 5/5 - so yummy! Only downside is that service is slow, I had to wait a while for our server to come back and get refills, boxes, the check, etc. Our server was MIA for so long that I ended up asking another server for help.

Chilaquiles azteca
Jenny A.

This has been one of my favorite places to get brunch! I absolutely love the food here, and I've never gotten anything bad. The cafe itself is really small and cozy and the staff is always super nice. The wait time can get really long though so try to go early! Their sweet temptation French toast is so good! Definitely one of my favorites. There is no parking lot but I've always found plenty of street parking.

Menu. With a coffee cup resting on a stove ?table? Buttttt also reads DE ... clever
Jocelyn D.

Amazing cozy little find. This place was the first meal after I left the hospital from a quick emergency stay. We went late in the afternoon and there was seating but also surprisingly busy for a small spot. I understand why though. I had the chilaquiles and they were so good. They did have a bit of a quick but I don't mind spicy. Rice and beans had actual flavor. The drinks came in little mason which I loved. Overall great food. Definitely recommend

Indoor dining
Crystal M.

Such a great little gem! Authentic Mexican café vibes with breakfast, lunch, and dinner served all day. It gets busy, but I came after a morning run and was seated right away. The Café de Olla is a must sweet, cinnamon, and perfect on its own (hot or iced). I ordered the breakfast omelette and enjoyed it; I recommend the breakfast sausage over the shredded beef since the beef was a bit dry. Service was warm and welcoming, and the café feels cozy and comfortable. I'll definitely be back can't wait to bring my boyfriend next time.

The "All In One" Breakfast Burrito
Colin O.

Chorizo and eggs were the bomb! The breakfast burrito was also a hit. My friend loved his chilaquiles. Place was packed but worth the wait. Will definitely be back if im in the area
