Chilaquiles is SO good!!!!! Service is excellent and I love the vibe! Best authentic Mexican food in Hot Springs hands down.

Cafe Kahlo Came on a busy Saturday and was seated quickly with friendly, attentive service. Started with a bloody mary (Tito's vodka with spicy mix) and a tequila sunrise. Both drinks were balanced and refreshing. Got the asada burrito (10) with carne asada, black beans, rice, cheese, onion, tomatoes, and peppers. Burrito was decent but had a bit too much rice for me. The tacos: two carne asada, one al pastor, were the highlight. Simple, flavorful, like good street tacos should be. Loved the Frida Kahlo-inspired interior, bright and colorful with a personal touch from the family's CDMX roots! read more

Service is excellent. The food is amazing. It tastes so fresh. I have had breakfast and dinner here. They offer lattes and special coffees. The omelette was absolutely delicious. The Tinga nachos were the best nachos I've ever had. read more

The atmosphere was relaxed and casual. This is a family owned business and all the employees were super friendly. We got here right at 8 AM on a Sunday when they open. It got busy pretty quick. I recommend getting here early. I got avocado toast, which is a thick toast with cheese on it plus avocado, cilantro, tomatoes, onions, and it's delicious. My hubby got the meat and cheese omelette with sausage and some potatoes and toast on the side. It was his birthday so they gave us a free slice of homemade cheesecake to go. The coffee is strong and good and the service is great. We highly recommend. read more

I ordered the 'pambazo' - it was delicious and the staff was wonderful. Beautiful decor and a really lovely atmosphere.

Glad we found Cafe Kahlo at the beginning of our trip. Cafe Kahlo is truly authentic food you'd find in Mexico City. Their offerings include items not specifically found in most Mexican restaurants. We ordered: - CHILAQUILES: Not your typical chilaquiles found in Mexican restaurants in American cities. Their combination/layers of tortilla, salsa, and queso fresco is perfectly balance. The side cecina (think carne asada) was very flavorful! - NOPAL HUARACHE: So light, but filling. A cooked palm of cactus topped with a combination of carne asada, black beans. We went back an hour later to order two more for dinner. (They close at 3pm when we visited.) - NOPAL & EGG SCRAMBLE: Nothing fancy. Pretty straight forward. But what got me excited was how delicious their potatoes were! And I'm not even a potato fan. The chef's husband Nector was helping as front of the house and waiter. Very personable and checked in on us several times. The atmosphere is very boho Mexican with loungey music playing in the background. We will come back here a couple of times before we return home. read more

I really wanted to enjoy this place, but unfortunately the food missed the mark. The chips tasted stale, the salsa had an odd flavor that reminded me more of spaghetti sauce than fresh salsa, and the queso tasted like it came straight from a can. Service was fine, but the food quality just wasn't there, especially for what you'd expect when dining out. Hopefully this was an off day, but based on this visit, it's not something I'd rush back for. read more

So glad we popped in for a late breakfast. The chilaquiles were the highlight of our meal and I was so excited to see nopales on the menu. Would definitely recommend if you're craving authentic Mexican food. read more

Cafe Kahlo - Egg and nopales scramble with a side of chorizo, and chilaquiles. So delicious! - Mexican Near Me - Hot Springs, Arkansas

The space is wonderfully decorated with quirky Kahlo-inspired paintings. The service was fast & friendly even during a potentially busy holiday. My partner enjoyed pancakes and I the chorizo Benny. I'd get the pancakes again in a heartbeat but the Benny had too many sauces that it became a soggy/mushy texture nightmare. Their drink menu was extensive and I could've stayed all day trying something new. read more

We came here on a Sunday at 11:45 and it was open seating and no wait. We went to the patio since we had our dog. Our server was so kind and gave us recommendations on the menu. We got the champagne carafe (mimosas by the glass were only $3 fyi). I got the chilaquiles and it was phenomenal. Honestly a lot of food and could possibly be shared. read more

Cafe Kahlo is a creative Mexican restaurant that specializes in breakfast and brunch. The food is delicious, the decor is colorful and fun, and the service is friendly. It checks all of the boxes, plus one more: It's named after one of the most famous Mexican artists, Frida Kahlo! There are Frida Kahlo images everywhere, as well as skulls and things, making for a distinctly Dia de los Muertos decor vibe. Lots of red and green everywhere, sparkly globes, plants, and mellow sunshine streaming through the windows. This restaurant has Mexican breakfast foods on the menu, such as chilaquiles, but they also have things like street tacos, burritos, salads and a kids' menu. Whenever I see nopales (cactus) on the menu, I get excited, so when I saw the nopal hurache, I had to get it. It's a cactus palm topped with carne asada, black beans, onion and cilantro. It was fresh and light, and just what I was hoping for in a light lunch. Other people in my party ordered street tacos and a salad that was on the specials menu, and I got to taste the salad, and it was spectacular! Lots of avocado and bits of chicken and citrus. I kind of wish I got the salad too, because I could have eaten a whole salad. Hot Springs is low-key a great place to find great food. Cafe Kahlo is one of those great restaurants to add to your list. read more

This is a great question place for breakfast with cool vibes. Our waitress was great- super friendly and has some great suggestions. We go the chilaquiles, al pastor tacos and huevos rancheros. The chilaquiles were amazing. The Al pastor tacos were decent. The star for sure was the huevos rancheros! The portions were large and perfect for sharing. This is a must for breakfast when in hot springs read more

The food and the service was phenomenal! I cannot recommend this more! The ambiance was more than welcoming and if i lived nearby, this would be my go-to spot! read more

this is not Tex-Mex! Hallelujah! The ambiance is great, the staff is super kind and professional, but, honestly, i would eat this great food on the curb in rush hour traffic, if i had to! Fresh squeezed orange juice, followed by Chilaquiles with cecina (i added an egg) chiles toreados, and homemade tortillas! ¡Muy sabroso! My only regret is i only had one opportunity to eat there! they have a parking lot, and there is free street parking in that area, also. Leave the congested strip, and check this place out! read more

Food was delish, the iced mocha was a little inconsistent but the server was rly great and corrected it no problem. Plenty of extra sauce, and probably the best authentic Mexican brunch spot in all of hot springs. There's in open kitchen where you can see everything being cooked which is a cool experience in itself. Amazing art work and decor, and kind staff. Food is sooooo good. Go hungry you won't be needing a box. I come to this spot every time I visit Hot springs! read more

Doesn't look like much on the outside, but this is a great little breakfast place with the absolute best coffee! They have a couple of vegan options. I suggest asking them to put the avocado toast on their regular bread instead of the hot dog style buns they use. They got soggy. But the flavor was good. Pinto bean spread fave it an unusual pop of protein. read more

I'm a huge fan of Kahlo! When I saw this cafe, we had to stop. I was not disappointed. Food is a nice blend of, both traditional Mexican and American cuisine. The drinks would be the real reason to stop here. Don't get me wrong, food is good but drinks are better. Stop by, judge for yourself. read more

Definitely recommend trying this place if you're not a fan of pancakes or there is a long wait at the pancake shop. First I order iced coffee with milk and caramel syrup which was better than most coffee shops. Then I got the Carne Asada omelette (substituted Carne Asada for Chicken) which was delicious. It came with a side of breakfast potatoes and they were well cooked as well. read more

I came here for brunch on a Sunday. I'm surprised to say that it wasn't busy at all. We walked in and got a table for 8 with no wait. I got the spiked caramel cold brew and the chorizo and eggs scramble. Both were delicious! My friend got the coffee flight, and all of the coffees were so good. They are full sized coffees, so maybe consider sharing. Also, they are sweet, so be prepared.) The decor inside is so cute. Our server was great. I love this place! read more

We visit Hot Springs 4 or 5 times a year from Dallas and always go to Cafe Kahlo. The vibe is cool and family too! I get the feeling it is owned and operated by an extended Mexican matriarchy. I speak Spanish, have been to Mexico probably 60 times and can assure you the food here, though not tex-mex, is the real deal. read more

Bland food! Sweet salsa! Ketchup cost$1 Chips & salsa cost $4.95, you don't get any complimentary chips & salsa! What the F!! Everything except for the salsa verde sauce was inedible! No fountain drinks! Can & glass bottled sodas only. Good service just not tasty food! read more

It's not your 'everyday' Mexican fare - it's much better.

Guac was outstanding- quesadillas were worth bragging about. read more

I cannot say enough good things about this café! Went there for breakfast with my daughter on the tail end of our Hot Springs Arkansas road trip. Service was amazing! Very laid-back but welcoming and friendly. Food was beyond amazing! I got the chorizo eggs Benedict, and it was phenomenal. It comes with a side of potatoes that remind me of how my dad used to make them for us when we were kids. My daughter got the Asada tacos and she said the salsa was incredible and the tacos were perfect. As the name suggests the restaurant has a lot of Frida Kahlo art, pictures, inspo. Again, very laid-back and chill environment. read more

Amazing food if you like spicy, full of flavor food. Everything appears to be made from scratch. Authentic beans. Good service. I lived what I had: Avocado salsa, asada burrito and Spicy piña Colada.

This is the first time, I went to Cafe Kahlo. The hostess was amazing when my friend and I entered the door. She mentioned we can sit anywhere. My friend and I sat at a booth, the booth was like a nice, curvy and comfy booth. Loved the aesthetics of the unique booths and overall the place. Very comfy and cozy vibes. My friend ordered a cup of coffee and the advocado toast. I ordered the chilaquiles. Both of our meals came out fresh, Hot, homemade and overall smelled delicious. The taste is even better. We both enjoyed our meals so much. My friend is a coffee drunker and she loved the coffee, so from a coffee fan she approved of their coffee. I highly recommend trying out this for a meal out. I really enjoyed my dining experience here and I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious food. Check out their Facebook page for operating hours and give their page a like. It's great having this restaurant in our neighborhood. read more
