My husband and I
Amanda Y.

Today I went with my husband and friend to this place. Never have been! First off the service was amazing! Now to the coffee was very good I got Cafe De Olla! The flavor of this coffee was amazing! Then I had the Yogurt with granola. The fruits were fresh and the flavors were amazing! My husband had the Breakfast Relleno! He said it was great but definitely has some spice. Our friend got the French toast and loved that it wasn't too sweet! Now to the atmosphere it was great until more people came and then it was hard to hear! I wish there was a way for the atmosphere to be not so loud! Will definitely do outside when the weather is better! I'm

We came here for lunch on Labor Day and this place was poppin! We decided to sit at the bar and eat to avoid the wait. The bar area was cute and pink and very aesthetic. Their food quality still remains just as delicious as always. Their Grapefruit Mimosas are to die for and definitely a must try. Service is incredible, our waitress/bartender Margarita was the best. I will be returning for more mimosas soon!

Cafecito is such a great place to enjoy breakfast! Their café de olla is SO good--I can almost taste it just thinking about it! And don't forget to grab one of their delicious conchas. We had the chorizo burritos with their spicy red sauce, which are definitely a kids' favorite, and the eggs and potatoes with their green sauce, which are my husband's favorite, and ofcourse, their famous pink tacos The new location is beautiful and decorated so nicely with their signature pink theme. Everything feels welcoming and clean, and the restroom is always spotless. The staff is also super friendly and helpful. Definitely a place we enjoy coming back to for a delicious breakfast!

Stopped in for the first time to try their lunch menu! The options are endless! I saw chile rellenos to spaghetti verde. I had the pink sopes with brisket and bistek ranchero. I preferred the bistek ranchero protein. I asked for a side of crema for my brisket sope because it was a little bit dry and too salty but that's just my personal opinion. I will go back to try the pasta lunch. As always, the wait was worth it. Cafe de olla and pan dulce hit the spot for dessert. I noticed they are selling Carlotta de limón also as a dessert option. The server was attentive, and felt taken care of. I love coming here. I've been a fan since they started way back in the day and am very proud to be able to frequent their brick and mortar location. The ambience as laid back, a good place to bring any person visiting from out of town.

Very friendly staff & fast service! We came by because we wanted cafe de olla & breakfast! We ordered some coffee de oil and a concha, and that came out immediately. Our waitress was so friendly fast and very nice. It was easy and accommodating to bring my baby in the car seat. The restaurant is really cute, has lots of pink and really cute areas. The menu has tons of different types of food that all look great and are very unique. We split the breakfast burrito with potatoes and it came out so fast. The food was good and the service was amazing. Parking is on the street and around the businesses, not the easiest parking but worth the walk.

We visited Cafecito for breakfast, which is located on near Southside in the medical district. There is some road construction going on, but we found parking in the back fairly easy. My goodness, upon entry, you are engulfed in the pink theme and catcai patio area. We arrived early, around 9ish, and there was a good bit of folks and a steady stream of people coming in while we were there. They have some swamp coolers outside to keep it cool, and they were quite efficient. We had to change tables due to the force of the air coming out. Our server, Pedro, was friendly and attentive to our questions concerning the menu. We started out with Pan Dulce Basket, which contained Concha, Cuernito, Oreja, and Maranito. What a treat they were! Warm and fresh, full of flavor without being overly sweet. These would be worth the trip every time. For our meal, we had Chilaquiles, Concha French Toast, and Breakfast Tacos with pink homemade tortillas which I felt could have been a touch warmer an a little thick, overall the food was delicious, and the patio experience was awesome, to put it mildly. We had Vanilla and Abuelita's iced lattes with the meal. The parking is always tight in this area, so best to arrive early or enjoy walking the Magnolia area. It's pricey but worth it, especially if you enjoy authentic Mexican food with some creativity blended into the dishes.

Parking is limited so park in front on the street or in the back of the building. When we got there, they were kinda busy on a Sunday around 11 o'clock. There was a 20 minute wait and they only give you a five minute grace period to show up I was two minutes late. They gave my table. The Host gave us the next available table, which only took a few minutes so be very prompt when they text you your table is ready. We started off with the Michelada and a cafecito martini. I had there huevos con jamón. And the Chilaquiles con barbacoa, and the friend had their Menudo, and he said it was delicious.

Queso
Savannah M.

Super cute spot in Fort Worth! The service is great. I sat at the bar and got to see all the drinks being made. The food is decent, green salsa helps add some flavor to everything. I enjoyed the Picosa Y Peligrosa. The coffee drinks looked delicious. Recommend the queso!

Brittany F.

First time at the newer location. Attending a graduation nearby, we had some time to stop in for breakfast, and I'm so glad we did! The service was sweet and welcoming, and we thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. The cutest pink spot! We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

Migas con chorizo
Steven B.

Great tasting food. Puro pink inside. Cafe de olla was just as it should be. Service was mids.

Menudo
Angel H.

I went here for lunch and it did not disappoint. The drinks were perfect, and all of the food was top notch. We ordered two different flavors of tacos to share so we could have the best of both worlds. This place fills up quick and luckily we were able to sit at the bar to get a seat and not have to wait a long time. If you are coming out on the weekend, expect a little bit of a wait or plan ahead. There is parking behind the restaurant, but it fills up quickly.

Menudo
Julio R.

The food was amazing! Authentic but served in a modern way! Service was top tier! All the staff was super friendly and amazingly helpful! Ambiance was so vibey from the color scheme to the decor! You can tell that the owner cares about the food and experience. I'll definitely be coming back

Café Caf de Olla
Jasmine O.

I was pleasantly surprised when I had the food at Cafecito. I wasn't expecting too much from the taste because it's a cute trendy spot, but I was glad that food actually tasted pretty good. The customer service was also on point.

Chilaquiles topped with green salsa, two eggs over medium and a side of barbacoa

The pulled pork tacos were okay. The meat was tender but a bit oily. The slaw added a nice texture. Staff were polite and efficient.

I live nearby and had no idea they opened at 9 a.m. Now, I know where to go when I'm craving birria before the 11 a.m. rush. Kassandra was friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive throughout my visit. I ordered two burrito combos, a watermelon and lime margarita with a sugar rim, a strawberry and mango margarita with a tajín rim, and the top sampler platter. I enjoyed everything, but the margaritas were definitely the highlight! I rarely drink alcohol during the summer, so I was excited to try the margaritas this establishment had to offer, and they did not disappoint. I also noticed a new establishment across the street with a similar name. I asked Kassandra if both restaurants had the same owner? As I suspected, they did! After paying my bill, I decided to head across the street to check out the owner's new restaurant. The staff at Mariscos Cortez was very welcoming and I'll definitely be returning to explore their menu! Note: Keep your receipt for 10% off your next visit! Offer valid for 14 days.

Service was friendly although they gave my plate to the person next to me, they went back and brought me my food fairly quickly. The horchata was also very good.

First time here and it was such a positive experience. I was a little confused about dressed code…read morebut it really is a mix. We were over dressed but there were some really casually dressed people so I'd say just come hungry or sort of hungry. I had seen all the buzz about the fried cactus and as someone who has grown up eating all my life I was intrigued on how this would be any different. Boy was I wrong. In fact, I would be happy enough just coming and eating only this. I have some sort of food limerence where I cannot stop thinking about this. Like daily! I want it so bad. No it was a whole experience because waiter placed this bowl towering with a mountain of curly crunchy ribbons. He kindly gave us his advice on the best way to eat it. You take their fresh made blue corn tortilla, pile on the cactus, don't be shy, if it fits in your mouth just go for it, then that green sauce was heavenly. All the flavors combined made me levitate. That would've been embarrassing. You could easy fill up on this alone given enough time and privacy. I just wanted a moment alone to enjoy fully ha ha. I then ordered the Chile en Nogada and the picture alone was enough for me to go yes we're on our way immediately. However listen I am a self proclaimed gift wrapping queen. I know a good ribbon and a good bow. I know that the typical dish has a bow - yes a fabric bow but this bow was not up to the standard of this restaurant, unfinished edges, and the color satin gold was not really representative of the environment. Good thing the bow is not edible but visually it could use a little improvement. The dish itself was 4 out of 5 for me only because I have had this dish before at a more casual space and every component of the dish was full flavored, where this one feels a bit safe. For dessert I was a little unimpressed with the options. I am not a fan of tres leches so I did not order their most famous desert but instead opted for another one that was a pastry with ice cream on top. I also give it 4 out of 5 its needing more flavor and sweetness, I mean this is dessert. The five stars is more for the service. Our server was amazing. He described every dish we ordered as if we were watching a Netflix documentary of a chef competition and they just submitted their dish. The table next to us got an amuse bouche compliments of the chef and I didn't want to be too nosy and peek over so I have no idea what it was. I was really hoping we'd get one too because honestly I was still hungry after all that. Oh cocktails. We ordered a drink before our table was available and I was not playing. I remember ordering a glass of bubbly rose and when our server brought it he served me a sip and had me try it before I decided, but honestly I wanted to tell him that I couldn't feel my face just pour it.

My friend said we HAD to try Joe T's...ummm it was all hype...and a bit unorganized…read more After a Saturday afternoon event we drove here to test it out. At first glance it seemed very cool, ambience was very welcoming, like we were at a family members home. However, the issues began when it was time to order. There were so many exclusions available after lunch time that we didn't really know what we ordered. My friend and I ordered margaritas...barely a drop of alcohol in either and were melted when they arrived. The other thing is a server brought out a plate of nachos (large tortilla with melted cheese) but didn't tell us it was two separate orders. Another friend ate mine by accident. Our server spilled some of my margarita on the table then wiped her hands on our tablecloth. Absolutely unsanitary. I ordered the small enchilada plate and $22 later I was disappointed. Food was mid at best, nothing was spectacular or cause to return. The cash only rule was fine until they told us they wouldn't split the check. Keep in mind that we barely know what each of us ordered since the server suggested items not found on the menu. I just added $40 and said good day. I've had DoorDash deliver better Mexican food than this.

The beans had a lot going on and included ingredients that probably should be mentioned when ordering. She thought the fries were decent, but said the birria tacos were just okay and that she's had much better elsewhere in the area. The service is good and straightforward. You walk up to order, grab a seat, and wait for your buzzer to go off. One thing to note: if you order drinks, keep an eye out for them because they're not brought to your table. As for my meal, I tried the mushroom, shrimp, and pastor tacos. The pastor was underwhelming, and the shrimp was overcooked. The mushroom taco was easily the standout and will definitely be my go-to if I come back. The weather will soon be nice for enjoying the patio, but there's also plenty of indoor seating available.
