I honestly feel ripped off. Paid $39.40 (with tax) for a "large" side of rice and a "large" side of beans--$17.50 EACH. Both came in standard 32 oz takeout containers, nothing close to catering size or anything that would justify that kind of price. This is a small Mexican restaurant in a rural area, not some upscale spot, so the pricing feels completely unjustifiable. Rice and beans are some of the most basic, low-cost items, and charging this much for them is excessive. Food was fine, but there's no way it matches the price. Definitely ask about prices before ordering--I wish I had. read more

From the outside appearance I have passed it up many times. Finally ventured in and is nice and clean and very roomy. The service was Fabulous! The food delicious. The enchiladas are a bit different looking than I am used to not covered in sauce. The Chile rellano was huge!! And yum. As was the rice. Only thing i wasn't used to was no chips n salsa at service. But thats okay read more

Just ordered 2 hamburger's and 2 deserts to got them home they don't put anything on them no mustard on ketchup . The hamburger meat was so well done it was had to chew. French fries were good. All that for a price of $47.00. Thats the last time we order from there. I don't usually complain but for the money I was hoping for better. read more

Food was good. BIG portions. Chili Colorado was delicious, quite picant. Has air conditioning for those warm summer months

Everytime I order the lady is extremely rude and will say "oh my god." And not take my full order this has been happening pretty frequently. I used to really like this place but the professionalism is terrible. She hurried me along to get off the phone. Her name was Hope she has always been rude anytime I order over the phone at this point its not even worth getting food there anymore. I also asked for the managers hours and she was dodging that too. If a person doesnt want to do their job and is complaining when you order they should look elsewhere. read more

6 hour drive and this was at hour 4.5 after desperately looking for somewhere to stop in 116 degree weather. The sign and strip mall look shady but I took a gamble and was pleasantly surprised. Super nice servers. They made us a veggie burrito with sauteed veggies instead of meat. It was very good. Spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers. The bathroom was clean enough I didn't feel awful changing my toddler in it. The ac was cool and refreshing. Would definitely stop here again read more

This place is great! The service is always fantastic, the prices are awesome, and it is a great place to bring your family for a casual sit down read more

Please be aware the prices shown on line are must less than the current menu. They have increased prices substantially. They also no longer offer chips and salsa without a $5 charge. Three burritos, chips and salsa should not be over $50 but it was. The food was fine. read more

Beyond pleasantly surprised by this little hole in the wall of a place. By FAR one of the best chimis I've ever had, and their chili rellenos were stuffed with the proper cheese! The sauces are all great, and everything inside the chimi is top notch. Tried both the carne asada and the carnitas, and I preferred the carne asana, but I'm not much of a pork person to start so was surprised I didn't totally dislike it. Although I did have it on a sope as well and it was perfect on that! I've had this place three times in the three months I've been here and it's been perfect and consistent every. single. time! Ask for extra salsa w your chips and get the chimi WET w BOTH red and green salsas - you'll thank me later. read more

Country Kitchen Cafe - Chimichanga & Chile Relleno - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clearlake Oaks, California

First timers! Decided we wanted Mexican food and hubby suggested this place. I drive past it twice a day and have heard good things. The first thing I noticed was it was very clean. Menu offers both American and Mexican meals, and they have a full bar. My husband ordered the country breakfast which was a ton of food. He said the biscuits and gravy were just average. I had the chimichanga and it was ok but very big. Salsa was very good and service was on point. We enjoyed our server very much. I definitely think we will come back and give the Mexican food another try read more

Amazing food, with amazing service. Was looking for a breakfast place to eat New Year's morning.. and a lot of places weren't open.. Detoured quite a bit around and drove, I think, like 40 min just find this place absolutely crowded.. (I mean.. as crowded as limited capacity seating can go anyway..) Friendly greetings from the staff and any party was able to get our food and orders quickly. A somewhat interesting mix of American diner fare on top of a whole section of Mexican food. Whatever green creamy salsa they offered (after asking for something really spicy) was quite amazing. Good amount of heat.. I ended up using a lot of it just on my eggs. Good portion size, I was able to eat my entire meal without any leftovers and was satisfied afterwards. Wonderful start to a brand new year. read more

Brunch in Lake County A nice country-style restaurant that serves classic American food... and Mexican favorites! On the way home we stopped by this cafe restaurant in the City of Clearlake Oaks. It is located on the extreme southeast of Clear Lake. Although the Mendocino Complex Fire (which are the River Fire and the Ranch Fire, twin fires burning on both sides of Clear Lake) has greatly affected much of Lake County this restaurant was open for business. The menu had many options from American breakfast classics, sandwiches and wraps to traditional Mexican favorites such as fajitas, enchiladas and other traditional plate foods. The Mexican dishes also include chilaquiles, tamales, sopes, mole and chile rellenos (not your regular Taco Bell-type Mexican food). Breakfast is served until 1:00p. I ordered the BLT sandwich as I do love BLT's! The sandwiches are served with choice of French fries, potato salad or macaroni salad. It was delicious but small sandwich for $9.95. The food came quickly, service was wonderful, friendly and easy. Food was served as we liked it. The restaurant is located in the middle section of a strip mall. They are open 7-days a week. 3.754738 Stars! Review #1116 read more

Used to eat here all of the time for breakfast my hubby loved the place because they serve a good heart breakfast at a fair price cami E in one day and their were just so many flies I could not enjoy my meal then I was told by someone who works at a business in the same building complex that the building has problems with roaches and I was done won't be back till I know for sure one hundred percent that the problem has been taken care of sorry but no read more

All my life we have driven through Lake County and never stopped here but now I'm regretting we didnt do it sooner. This was a great meeting point between the I-5 and 101 with friendly service and good food for a great price. If you're looking for a great mom and pop restaurant with a variety of options this is the place for you. The biscuits and gravy were flavorful and filling. The denver omelette was a great portion and very filling. read more

This is a strange mashup of a restaurant but I really liked it! I went twice in the last week - once for breakfast (takeout) and once for dinner (dine-in). My takeout order was packaged beautifully, all the food was extremely hot and fresh. When i dined in the restaurant the staff was super nice and the atmosphere was good. There's a nice little corner of the restaurant that is separated from the bulk of the seating area , which was perfect for me as someone with anxiety. The food was good, drinks were good, bathroom was clean. I'm happy to have found this place and will surely be back! read more

We had an excellent lunch here on our way up to the coast. The ambiance looked a little bit noisy for my taste art first, but we were able to sit in a side area that let us enjoy the music and converse. Service was quick, courteous, and helpful. I had the chicken mole, and it was fantastic! The sauce was rich and complex, and the chicken was a good compliment. The mozzarella sticks were also very good with a better batter than I'm used to. Portions were generous but not excessive which was great for a drive with little ability to take leftovers. It was surprisingly good for a chance we're stopping because we haven't seen a food option other than gas stations for some time. I wish it were closer to home, and will be happy to stop in next time we pass through. read more

This is just a great restaurant for any meal. For breakfast you can have any American classic you want, or you can choose something with a more Mexican influence. Same goes for lunch. For dinner, though, the Mexican food really shines, and we love it! Great drinks also. read more

Good food, friendly wait staff, and charming atmosphere/ environment. they also kindly allowed me to stay past my meal and get some work done on my computer - highly recommend the experience for some tasty diner food. read more

Had some family in town bought a few orders of the biscuits and bacon. Really good breakfast food. Also has a nice patio with a view if you're interested in dining in. I will return. read more

Always great service with delicious food! Our favorite spot in Lake County. Breakfast is always on point. Fajitas are great too

They need to learn how to make a chimichanga! It's supposed to be deep fried! Its nor a wet burrito!

Breakfast is one of our favorite meals out. Although we ate at Judys Junction last time and loved it, we thought we would try something new this time. I would probably get this restaurant 3 1/2 stars if that was possible. Definitely a little better than average in some aspects but lacking in others. I ordered the senior egg, potatoes, toast and bacon crisp. The egg was cooked to absolute perfection over medium. I'm pretty picky about my egg and it was absolutely perfect. The bacon was meaty and Crisp and the hashbrowns were also delectably crisp as I like them. Our waitress was friendly but hubby's coffee cup was not checked on regularly for refills. My husband ordered the cowboy breakfast. He liked all the same things I did with eggs and potatoes. Unfortunately, the gravy was absolutely lackluster. It was blended well but had no flavor whatsoever We noticed one gentleman came and sat at the table behind us but was not waited on so he got up and left. There were three waitresses so I'm not sure what happened there. Also I would suggest they turn off the television. People like to talk over breakfast without Mexican music in the background. Or at least I do. read more

Holy Cow! Or Pig in my case. This place is amazing, we had a street taco, Carnitas Chimichanga and Chicken Burrito Supreme. They were all top notch! Everything down to the salsa and the crisp Mexican salad. The two beautiful young ladies waiting tables, did an outstanding job. They handled a totally full restaurant with speed and grace and smiles. Our drinks were cold, our food was hot. It was a perfect dinner. read more

Great food, good Bloody Mary, try the chilaquiles for breakfast, great flavor. This spot was a pleasant surprise. A no nonsense cafe with not a ton of atmosphere, but everything we had since sitting down was well worth stopping for. Thank you Country Kitchen Cafe! read more

Always great and friendly service. Very good Mexican food. VERY good breakfast and traditional foods. Burgers, sandwiches,etc. Good onion rings. Try the Wet Burrito Supreme with Carnitas!! Plus, they have a full bar. It is one of the best restaurants in Lake County. read more

If I could go below 1 I would. We had 2 items off of the Mexican menu for lunch. We had plans to get together with family for dinner that evening. We felt so awful from lunch we had to cancel. Not sure if it were old oil or what. One had fajitas one chili relano. Still felt off the next day. Avoid! read more

Fantastic food, both the Carnitas plate and the Hobo Breakfast. They obliged our late breakfast request past noon, and boy are we grateful. Kept our water full and politely overlooked our possession of "outside" coffee we'd bought two doors down. We're out of towners on a road trip through the area and are a bit on the critical side. Beyond the food and service the decor was delightful, as the designer took care to do as much as can be done with strip mall architecture. So not only is the food delicious, the portions are extremely generous. We're talking the two of us arrived hungry (skipped breakfast) and ordered a plate each. Add complimentary (and delicious!) chips and salsa (add your own salt) and we left having eaten one plate (the Hobo Plate) and two bites each of the carnitas. Yes, we left with a WHOLE PLATE OF CARNITAS WITH RICE AND BEANS. To the tune of about a pound of cooked, delicious pork. If you're passing through Clearlake Oaks, and are hungry at all or even might be later, you deserve to stop by and treat yourself to what the locals already know: this place rocks! read more

This place was just okay. Nothing to rave about, were from Sacramento and the Mexican food isnt anything to compare. However, for a small town this place was okay. I had a chicken enchilada and a sope (which was tasty), everyone else had burgers (they dont have a kids burger so, we paid just about $12 each and fries were VERY plain). They offer a buffalo burger, which is what the mister had.. Grandmother had tacos and total was $60. With 3 drinks(Ouch).. Anyhow, you gotta support small businesses, especially when your hungry lol jk. read more

Second time in today. I had the torta milanesa- breaded steak sandwich. Really, really good! I added a fried egg to it (later saw on bill they charged $3 for it which seems pricey to me for one egg but oh well) really good salsa and guacamole too. Friendly service, we will be back! read more

Country Kitchen Cafe - Torta milanesa - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Clearlake Oaks, California

So i have written many reviews about this place from the old owners to the new. The old owner were poor business people and had no business running a restaurant. They had no personality. No manners and definitely no food skills. The new family are spot on. But a few hitches i have found. The Mexican part is absolutely spot on very very good. Haven't had a bad meal yet. But we went in and they need some help on the salad part of their business lol. A Chef Salad should not be served with Package Prosesed Cheese and Shredded Lettuce. It was good but not great. Could have been better. Use better quality meat and cheese even if you have to raise the price a bit i won't mind. It would be worth it. Keep up the great Job you all are doing a wonderful Job. read more

Really yummy al pastor torta! It is huge though each half is a very filling meal. It comes with meat, guacamole, cheese, and veggies. Very yummy! Server was also really friendly and everyone was wearing masks. read more

We stopped here twice, once on our way to fort bragg and again on our way home. The first time I got two tacos, one chicken and one steak, the second time there I got 3 tacos, all steak. The tacos were pretty authentic, and we loved their salsa. The service was very good too. read more

I honestly would give them no stars if I could. From American to Mexican food The food is inedible.
