Yes, I'm a breakfast snob. Not only from the food but the vibe and I searched and searched for a breakfast place in this area that didn't have an antiseptic look to it. CAC is the place I decided on and we couldn't have been happier when we arrived. No seats but the bar was open so the three of us opted there. Glad we did. From the pancakes to the corned beef hash to the scrambled done right we were satisfied. I asked for some specifics on my order (pancakes) with no cinnamon and no powder with butter and syrup on the side and they remembered!!! All was great and we'll return!! read more

This cafe is by far the best in Hudson! Hands down. It's not trendy, it's not flashy, a family owned and operated independent cafe. The food is the best, service is beyond epic! Total a local favorite. Always packed opened on the weekends. Go there!!! Now! read more

We stopped in again for a very late breakfast at 12:30pm this weekend. It was unusually quiet due to some light snow, but mainly because the owners just returned from vacation. They customized their veggie omlette for me with no cheese and just onions, tomatoes & mushrooms. I added on a side of red salsa & their homemade mild one, which was delicious! The glamour shot only shows 1/2 of the omlette & toast. Generous, flavorful portions. Also ordered the side loaded waffle. Attentive service and bottomless coffee! read more

I don't know how to say this but the staff was so nice, they gave us free fruit and sauce and they where just so kind in general, the food was also really good!! read more

Best breakfast by far in this area. Really wish I had taken pictures. They start you off with a complimentary fruit plate. Both decaf and regular voffee were excellent. read more

This place is phenomenal. I love it when small business owners love what they do. And it shows in the passion the owner has taking care of his patrons. He is super friendly and goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. No cookie cutter food here. Everything is fresh and made with TLC. (Get the orange hot sauce if you want it extra spicy) read more

The best and an amazing family you can tell by the quality and presentation of the food that they care and it shows

This place doesn't look like much, easy to drive by because there is no big sign or decoration outside the restaurant but you'd be missing out if you did not go in! There are the typical eggs, sausage, ham breakfast choices along with their Mexican/Central American breakfast choices. I highly recommend #27 their best seller Mexican ranchero which is beef and a fried egg your way, layered between two soft tortilla and topped with sour cream plus seasoned potato sides. Every bit was absolutely delicious and full of flavor. You can really taste the distinct layers of flavors of the seasoned beef, egg and potatoes. Portions were generous and free refill on coffee. There was also fresh mix of fruits such as watermelon, cantaloup, pineapple, grapes along with a sweet pound cake. The cake doesn't look like much but it is sweet and nice. The place does fill up quickly around 11am so I'd go early. Service was great! Price was competitive but slightly cheaper compared to American brunch restaurants in the area. Service was great! I'd definitely come back! read more

This is a small family restaurant that my friends and I go to as often as we possibly can. The food is excellent and home cooked. We love the staff because they are so friendly and so engaging. The service is excellent and there's always a soccer game on without the sound. The ambiance feels like friends! We recommend this restaurant to everyone! read more

In town visiting family, and went to this place cause it was open. Restaurant hours here are weird, nothing opens before 9. This place is small, but awesome! I rarely eat till it's gone but i did today, I had the veggie omelette and it was great! The hash browns are a tad spicy but awesome! Owner was very kind, gives kids a candy before they leave. Lots of locals, and he speaks Spanish to a lot of them....I love the diversity!! I hope to go back before i leave. read more

This is my go-to weekend place! Delicious and consistent food with a welcoming family of owners.

Went there for a late Saturday breakfast. Warm greetings from the owner, good service, and very tasty food. Standard fare well executed, and the elements with the south of the border flair, were especially tasty. read more

If you are looking for delicious, authentic breakfast/ lunch look no further! Centro America has the best workers and is the cutest family owned business. Their chicken quesadilla is the best quesadilla I have ever had! It's crunchy, cheesy and flavorful. Great portions for a good price. My husband and I will be back many times! read more

EVERYTHING WAS JUST AWESOME!!! Food, service, cleanliness! Glad we stopped in on our way out of town

Breakfast here was solid if unremarkable. 1) "Spicy" Mexican omelet was a big omelet with peppers, tomatoes and cheese. I got one jalapeño slice towards the end of the omelet. Strange, runny guacamole, salsa and sour cream came on the side. 2) Home fries were okay. 3) Corned beef hash was from a can. 4) No pumpernickel or sourdough toast available, only white, wheat or raisin. The place was small and clean and the staff were very nice. read more

Visiting family in Hudson this weekend and ate breakfast here on Sunday. Food was amazing. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered some of the dishes we had were loaded pancakes with lots of fruit Breakfast burrito. Corned beef hash was perfectly crispy. Home fries were well seasoned bacon nice and crispy. Coffee was excellent in flavor and heat. The table got a plate of fresh fruit to nibble on while we waited for our breakfast. Staff was friendly and efficient. Bonus in my opinion was there was no loud music and everyone in the place kept their conversation at their own table! Definitely will be going back when in town. Would love to try lunch there. read more

Our favorite place to go to for Sunday brunch with the kids! Family owned, family oriented, all around an amazing atmosphere

Wow! What a delicious place for breakfast!!! So glad we stopped there! Food was great! Probably family owned. Employees are friendly and attentive! Stunningly beautiful waitress! Chef walked around, chatting with customers, making sure everything's good. Reasonable prices. I love this place! I wish it was closer. Try out their delicious spicy salsa! Really good! read more

My family and I came here for breakfast today and I am so excited about this place I'm writing the review while sitting here with a full belly! The service is amazing first and foremost. It appears to be a husband, wife, and son running the place and they each are some of the most pleasant and enjoyable people I've come across in the area. Such warm, grounding, and happy energy! They were so accommodating of us and our three children, making them smile and happy to have us! On top of it all, the food was so amazing I nearly forgot to breathe while shoveling it into my mouth! Ha! Very authentic Central American cuisine. The menu is very basic but they happily explain the items. We had #27 which is a must-have. It includes soft corn tortillas with eggs, steak, and special sauce sort of stacked all together. ORDER IT. Trust me. We also had the Mexican omelette which was delightfully fresh and spicy with fresh jalapeños. We also had a chorizo breakfast burrito which was huge and of course delicious. I haven't had such an amazing meal in awhile. The coffee is amazing too! We loved it so much we considered staying in town another day just to eat breakfast here again. What an amazing way to start the day! Thank you so much and I wish the family who runs this place the best of success! Such great people and great food!!! read more

Friends from St. Michael Church told me about this cafe'. I've driven by it for years and never noticed it! Maybe they need bright window displays? My husband & I went to breakfast Sunday morning and were so impressed that we have decided to make it a monthly destination. The chef/owner and waitstaff were very friendly and attentive. The food was wonderful! My husband had the enchilada with beef (and brought half home); I had scrambled eggs, hash brown potatoes & English muffin. The coffee was the best we've had in a long time. Clean, bright, low chatter level. We'll be back! read more

This is my 2nd review of this restaurant because I love it so much. It is hands down our absolute favorite place. Such a gem. We discovered it by accident one day a few years ago and now it is our most beloved breakfast spot. The family that runs it is so friendly and warm and welcoming and the food is always absolutely delicious and fresh. Would give it 10 stars if I could. Support this wonderful mom and pop spot!! read more

Echo what everyone above me said. Great food, extremely friendly, happy customers. Had the Mexican omelette - great! And free "help yourself" fruit bowl. My new go-to place for breakfast. read more

Oh, my goodness...I LOVE this place! My son and I went after his baseball game for a 'date', and I can't wait to go back. Everyone was so friendly; when we ordered, they offered us fresh fruit. Our food was fabulous--I had the breakfast with corn tortillas, egg, steak, and green sauce--so delicious. I'm very picky about steak--gristle grosses me out--and I was super happy. The owner offered me additional homemade hot sauces, which were also great. My son had pancakes and bacon, and I couldn't stop eating them! Even the coffee was good. Highly recommended! read more

Food was absolutely delicious, so flavorful. Service was fantastic and everyone was so friendly. Will definitely be back.

We came to town for an estate sale and found this place on Yelp. Friendly quick service, big portions, reasonably priced. The extra side of fresh fruit and optional coffee cake was surprising, and appreciated. read more

Was passing through Hudson Sunday morning and we stopped in for breakfast after seeing the high marks on Yelp. The food is just amazing! Turns out I ordered one of the more popular dishes (the #27 Ranchero). So delicious! Loved the hot sauce they offer. I was warned it would be spicy and it certainly was! You could tell by the staffs interactions with customers that they get a lot of repeat business. A great family atmosphere here. The only slight minus is the decor and furnishings which are a bit dated. Didn't bother me too much. Keep up the great work! read more

I ordered #27. The best sustenance decision I've ever made. It was delicious from the first bite to the last. It's a full meal so good luck finishing it but it's worth every bite. The menu is quite vast but it seems you can't go wrong with anything you order from the place. Highly recommend this place. If you're not coming here to eat ya messed up. read more

This place is a great hidden bfast spot. Friendly staff and the food is very flavorful. Get the #27 with brown sauce on the side!

A hidden gem! You're treated like family in this welcoming spot. Great menu, and opportunities to enjoy specialities of the house as well.

This is easily hands down the best breakfast spot around. The home fries are the best home fries i've ever had. Small but cozy atmosphere and the owner is friendly and attentive and so sweet. Free fruit bowl you can help yourself to was a real nice touch. I'll definitely be back!! read more

We had attempted to dine here several times to no avail. Please note, they are ONLY OPEN ON WEEKENDS. It is worth the wait. From the time you enter you are warmly welcomed and treated like a regular even if it is your first time there. It is a true "Mom & Pop (& daughter & son) shop" with the son, John or Juan Carlos (I apologize I did not hear it clearly, the son, as the host, as well as serving drinks. Carla, the daughter is the bold & friendly personality of the establishment & makes everyone feel welcome, the main server. Mom, Margarita, keeps everything running smoothly and Dad, Carlos, is the handsome gentleman behind the grill (you will often see him in the dining room making sure everyone is pleased. This team functions like a well oiled machine. The menu has typical breakfast fare as well as some Latin favorites (Carlos is from El Salvador & the original cook was from Mexico so these are the main influences). There are lunch/dinner options as well but I believe they close at 3 PM. Ask questions! Carla is great at assisting you in making the perfect selection. We tried the Loaded (topped sweetened condensed milk, strawberry syrup with cinnamon & powdered sugar, garnished with fresh strawberries & blueberries) Pancakes & French Toast. Both were delicious. The pancakes we light and delicate with a perfect crispness on the edges (I personally prefer mine cooked a bit darker, but that is my tick). The French Toast was tender and flavorful. The bacon was perfect! Exactly crisp-so that when you hold it out it stays straight out in a line but not burnt & as Carla promised, it melted in our mouth! The juice servings are huge-water glass size, for about $2.50. A super nice feature is a table with a huge bowl of fresh fruit salad, muffins, cookies, cake, etc for everyone to help themselves while they wait. This can be important because you may wait a bit. Carlos, the cook, never intended to be the cook. Do to staffing issues, this is where he finds himself, so BE PATIENT PEOPLE or just do not frequent this establishment. This family works CERY hard (they have full time jobs during the week) & this is clearly labor of love. They do an amazing job. So it takes an extra 5-10 minutes for your delicious, piping hot, reasonably priced food to reach you? The coffee is hot & routinely refilled (though they have awesome large, nicely shaped mugs that don't need refilled all the time so your nice dairy sugar ratio isn't constantly messed up!), you have fresh fruit salad & pastries to snack on & Carla has been entertaining you with witty repartee-what could you possibly complain about? Exactly!!! Nothing! Support this true local family owned and operated establishment, the food is delicious & everything is wonderful. read more
