Holy moly this is THE place to go for breakfast/brunch. The restaurant itself sits just outside of a neighborhood in the Heights but it has a dedicated parking lot in front of it. When my group arrived it was pretty busy but we were seated in standard time. The restaurant offers indoor and outdoor seating but it is small so it may not be the best fit for large (6+) parties. I've come here twice because it was just that good. First time, I ordered the sopes and I'm not even joking I was dreaming about these things for days. The second visit I opted for the molletes and was very satisfied. I think its the beans, I'm not sure what they put in the but they keep me coming back for more! My group was also pleasantly impressed with their orders: chilaquiles rojos and french toast topped with fresh seasonal berries. I almost forgot to mention their coffee menu! I ordered the coconut coffee (i forgot the exact menu item name) and it was sweet but tasty. My friends have had their mazapan iced coffee and agua fresca and have said that they were both great selections! Next time I come, I'm getting the sopes it's already settled! read more

Sunday review: Parking is a headache, get there before the rush, maybe before 10:30 or face having to wait long, look for parking and a very rushed brunch. Eating area is small and crammed, service is fast however it's very rushed. Didn't give my cousin and I a chance to talk and catch up over coffee. She made it clear she wanted us to eat and go! Due to that we purposely stayed longer. She came and grabbed my plate without asking if I was finished. She took my drink as well. The food was good. Has the chilaquiles and coconut coffee . This would have a been a good review has our waitress not rushed us. Aside from all the other negative things. read more

Hearty, flavorful Mexican brunch plate. The chilaquiles were perfectly sauced with a good crunch, topped with crema, cheese, and a rich fried egg.

Popped into this little gem for breakfast on a whim and was sat immediately at the bar because it was already busy on New Year's day. Host and our server were friendly and attentive. Started with the cucumber fresca of the day and it was very hydrating, refreshing and delicious. I was told by my friend the coffee was good too. I had the Divorciados which was excellent and my friend had the EL Tradicional (Standard Breakfast) which he very good and filling. This is a nice small restaurant with outdoor seating in the front and on the side of the restaurant. I will definitely comeback because it's close to home. Also the Chilequiles looked amazing so I definitely have to come back for that. A thumbs up for me. read more

Went here with anticipation due to the mixed reviews of this place, it was definitely good and I would recommend it for others! I would definitely suggest this to smaller parties since the location and parking are both very limited. We were seated pretty quickly and our server was quick to take our orders. The food itself was great for what you get. The portions were relatively big, and the drinks were refreshing! Because we arrived before rush hour we didn't face much pressure to order quickly as other reviews have stated- so take that into consideration when deciding the time you decide to come here. It had a very homey atmosphere both inside and out. It was also appreciated to see the servers actively keeping the place clean as well. 4.4/5 read more

Came here for lunch and had a nice experience in this cozy cafe. At the recommendation of our waitress I ordered the coconut coffee, and it was a decadent and rich way to take coffee - will definitely get it again in the future! For my main I ordered the breakfast tacos with chorizo - they were not greasy, which is great. The red sauce it was served with added the perfect amount of spice. Service was very friendly and attentive. Parking is available on the street or in a private lot across from the cafe (watch the signs). read more

I was pleasantly surprised to find out Cielito opened a new location in the Heights. I also appreciated the parking lot available next to it as this area can be tricky. Located in a small house, the atmosphere was cozy and cutely decorated. We had a few servers check on us who were all friendly. As brunch girlies, we loved the food here! We started off with a chocolate de oalla and green juice. The hot chocolate was comforting, rich, cinnamon goodness. The green juice was cold and freshing. Our entrees were the huevos divorciados and the bandera. We asked for extra hot sauce which seemed house made. Gave the perfect kick to everything. Our plates were clean after if that's any indication of how much we enjoyed everything lol. We finished off with churros that came out hot with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. Perfect end to the meal. read more

We just moved to this area and have been wanting to try this brunch spot and we were very impressed! It's inside this small converted craftsman right in the neighborhood making it an easy walk for us. We arrived around 9:30 am on a Sunday and were seated right away. The Cafe de Coco had a great flavor and I loved the added toasted coconut on top. I got the Divorciados and my husband got the Chilaquiles and you can't go wrong with either choice. The chorizo and sauces were really tasty. The service was 10/10 and food came out quickly. Only lost one star because I had asked for my eggs over medium and one of them was fully cooked. Not a big deal though, we will definitely be back! read more

Overall the experience here was good. We live around 30 minutes away so I was very curious. Parking is across the street. The restaurant is cute on the outside with patio seating and dog friendly. Once you go inside it's very small, definitely not good for big parties. The waitress was very friendly but almost too fast where she never checked on us and wants ppl in and out. She suggested sweet corn gorditas, Toqueres as an appetizer, good but not for the price. I had the chilaquiles half red and green sauce. My husband had the Divorciados both very good. Overall I would come back, the food was really good. read more

Definitely will be coming back! The food came out quick and was worth the wait. The green/red sauce for the chilaquiles was phenomenal and the French toast was equally amazing.

Cielito Cafe is a cute, quaint spot for brunch in the Heights. The food was good and very reasonably priced for how large the portions were. We sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive.

Visit on 02/25: An absolute gem! From the moment I walked in, we felt so welcomed. The hospitality here is unmatched. We had the huevos divorciados, the cafe de coco, the molletes, and finished with the Mexican churros, and every single bite was phenomenal. The flavors were rich and authentic, and the presentation of the food was incredible. It looked as amazing as it tasted. The service was just as impressive as the food. Our waitress was extremely polite and hospitable, and the busser was very helpful and kind. The manager really stood out. He was personable and checked on us frequently, making sure we had everything we needed and creating such a positive atmosphere. For my first visit, they made me feel like family, and that alone will keep us coming back. Cannot wait to visit again! Visit on 03/26: We came back for my birthday brunch celebration, and once again, the service was phenomenal! Everything was just as warm and welcoming as before. We had a different waitress this time, and she was very sweet and courteous. We also saw the manager again, and he was just as hospitable as our first visit, making sure we had everything we needed. The consistency in both service and food is truly impressive! read more

I drove what felt like forever to get to this location, hoping it would be an upgrade from their Montrose spot, (IDK) maybe a bigger space and better parking? But no... it's basically a copy-and-paste with a different address. Can restaurants please start prioritizing parking and atmosphere? This place feels more like a crowded studio with tables crammed so close you can practically smell the person next to you. A good dining experience isn't just about the food, it's about comfort and environment. I'm sure the food is solid, but the setup here really takes away from it. I called ahead to put my name on the list, yet still had to deal with a wait 5 tables ahead of me. It was an in-and-out experience for me, and the location just doesn't work. Sorry, this one really took the experience away, especially w this hot weather. read more

The food is amazing and the service is just as great ! Visiting from out of town and highly recommended!!

It looks really good, but the wait was long on a Sunday brunch time. Would love to come back and try it.

10/10 ! The whole staff is so sweet !!! they're so quick with sitting people down, menu is great! Came here for the first time for my birthday and Been here ever since !

Been wanting to check the place out because of all the hype. My chilaquiles were ok. A little spicy, a little dry, with only one egg, which I asked for over medium, but got it overcooked where it didn't have much yolk left and with very little cream and a little slice of avocado. Other places I've tried chilaquiles they give you two eggs and a good serving of cream, etc...I had to ask for extra cream. My cucumber water was good though. Not too sugary. The place was packed on a Saturday around 10:30am. Hard to find parking, managed to get a table but the place is a converted house that is so small that everyone is jammed packed right next to each other. Not very comfortable to enjoy a nice conversation because the other people are right next to you. And it felt a little hot with so many people crammed in there. Front desk staff was friendly but our waitress was very pushy and seemed to be rushing us since the minute we sat down. There were lots of people waiting I guess they wanted us to just swallow our food quickly and go. Overall, didn't enjoy my experience. Too crowded, too rushed, and food I tried was ok. Overhyped in my opinion. read more

Acceptable food. Rushed service. I have mixed feelings about this place. I visited this morning for the first time. I sat down promptly, and ordered a chocolate de olla while I waited for my friend to arrive. In the meantime, I scouted the menu and decided what I wanted to have for breakfast. My friend arrived and we ordered food and an iced coffee for her. I ordered the huevos divorciados. The portion is quite small, barely a smattering of beans, and the sauces are very spicy. Eggs were cooked nicely (over easy). I also liked my chocolate. However, my biggest concern was the rushed service. Halfway through breakfast, the bill was smacked onto the table. From then on, we were flat out pushed to finish our meal quickly and get out. My friend had ordered breakfast potatoes with her bolillo. Since I was still hungry, I asked if I could have some of her potatoes with the bit of sauce that was left on my plate. While I was eating, two different people came to ask me if they could remove my plate, even though I was clearly still eating. When my friend ordered a box for her leftover food, they also removed the plates and napkins, even though both of us were still working on our drinks. We were asked three times if we wanted to order anything else. Then the waitress walked up to us and told us that we needed to leave unless we were going to order anything else because there were people waiting outside. A few minutes later, I finished my hot chocolate, and the mug was removed as soon as I put it down; the waitress also took my friend's drink, even though she was not done with it (she had about 1/4 of her glass left). I honestly have never experienced anything like this! I like to enjoy my breakfast calmly, especially if I'm catching up with an old friend. So, if you're in a rush to go back home, this might be a great place for you. If you are looking for a lovely experience to chat and hang out with friends, you should probably go elsewhere. I will not be returning. read more

I was gonna just get a coffee and planned to get lunch somewhere else but the menu honestly looked like I wanted to order everything. I went with the flautas and they were amazing. My partner got the Fresca salad and it was very flavorful and refreshing! Very big portioned salad. Cafe de Coco was super good. It's a small local shop but with a very home-y vibe.

Outdoor looks like a small house, very cute. Indoors is comfy looking and cute. But because it's a bit small the area is very tight. We went in early enough that it wasn't packed. I can only imagine how full the walkways feel when the tables are full. However, the food is amazing. Some of the their salsas are spicy, unlike other 'Mexican' restaurants. read more

Extremely disappointed of the experience, I was excited to try it out but it was a big let down. The food is good but the way they rush you to sit and order your food because there's a line is ridiculous. We were sit down and within 5 minutes the waitress came over to ask us if what we anted to order not once but 5 times! I told her 5 times i needed more time mind you this was all in the 5-8 min we were sat until she flat out said sorry but we have a wait so give me your order. I found that annoying to be honest why not purchase a bigger place or let your customers enjoy the food, it's common courtesy. Was in and out in 30 minutes, it was 3 of us and we spent $100 for a quick 30 min lunch. I don't care how good you think your food is , rushing clients to order and pay is beyond tacky will never be back with as many other options around Houston. read more

Second location to the original cielito! First time trying cielito for brunch and would like to return again. The interior reminds me of Lucille's, seems small but fits quite a few guests. The bathrooms were surprisingly nice too. The food was tasty, we ordered green juice, chilaquiles, an egg dish and corn gordita type appetizer (don't remember the names). The egg dish was pretty ok. Our favorite were the chilaquiles,appetizer and green juice. In terms of service, they were busy as expected on a Sunday morning. Took a few minutes to get offered menus, no biggie. However when it was time to pay our receipt had some extra items on there that we didn't notice until we had already paid. Once we noticed and let them know, they could only refund us in cash since the card hard already been swiped. Accidents happen, I would still go back to try other menu items! read more

If you're looking for truly authentic Mexican cuisine this is your place! My family is from Michoacan MX, as are the owners of the restaurant and we were all very impressed with the flavors and dish options. By authentic I mean (real Mexican ingredients, queso fresco, not Monterrey cheese, or sour cream instead of crema.) The ambience is wonderful, beautifully converted bungalow and family friendly atmosphere. Our server was at the bar and was very attentive. My only complaint is that the menudo portion is tiny for $17, I'd still give it a 10/10 though. read more

I was surprised when I seen this location. It is a hidden gem. Loved the look, reminds me of being in a small town in Mexico. And the food was good! Fresh chicharrones, the concha breakfast sandwich was lit! Will be back. read more

We come here often but the last time I came here my server was extremely rude, she came by my table to tell me and my family we need to hurry up and order because there we more people outside, I understand if there is a wait but how rude she was being was very unacceptable and made the whole experience horrible and on top of that kept asking if she could take our plates even though it was clear we were still eating just to rush us out and was clearly doing the same to the table next to us, this is very disappointing as my family and I have always enjoyed coming here and the old location and have never received such a terrible service as I did that day (April 18) don't remember her name just that she was the older lady attending the front right corner of here (next to the bar on the right if you are facing the bar) that server does not belong in the food industry if she can't tend to clients properly read more

I wish I would have taken a picture of my food, but it didn't stand a chance. The food was amazing! 10/10. My food came out hot and freshly prepared. The fresh juice tasted amazing!

This is a beautiful establishment. read more

Small neighborhood place. Nice atmosphere, good, quick service. Food was good...not great. I had the carnitas and she had the enchiladas. Good flavor, good portion. Just not sure what all of the hype was for. It was good...but not a place I would wait 30 minutes or so to eat or tell someone that it is a MUST try. More of a go to support a small business and if you pass by and it is empty...you can get a decent meal type place. read more
