Doña Chela Restaurant

This is the most disappointing, overpriced place I've ever purchased breakfast…read more The bacon was burned beyond ability to chew. The waffle was so dry. Did not have whipped cream as pictured in the menu, had two blueberries, and barely visible sliver of strawberry. The two poached eggs, half waffle and two strips of bacon for $15 was so disappointingly sad and gross. The Montecristo breakfast sandwich was burned, with one piece of ham, one piece of turkey and no visible cheese for $12.50. The meat has a terrible aftertaste. Poor quality ingredients. The half a cup of dry potatoes for four dollars was lacking, at best. If I could give this place negative stars I would. I shouldn't be angry when I open $35 worth of food

I've been a regular at Just Love for over two years now. My little guy and I head there every week…read morefor our coffee group. We always have a great time and everyone is always so friendly. There are many regulars that we see and speak to every week. That's how you know people like a place and feel welcome... they keep coming back. Crystal (the owner/manager) is kind and wonderful. She is on top of things and I've seen her do every job from computer work to straightening up to helping cook in the back. She seems to be the type of person who is willing to do whatever needs to be done. She also seems to have a great relationship with her staff and that's also very important. Manuel is very friendly and helpful. He's knowledgeable about their menu and always remembers what our friend likes to drink when she forgets what it's called. I love the openness and space. There's a couch and chairs in the back if you feel like lounging, plenty of tables in the front for eating, working, or just sitting at. There are games that people can play although sometimes children get ahold of them and pieces go missing. There is also a little kids play area which is golden when you have a toddler. I love that I can sit and have my food/coffee and also keep an eye on my little guy while he plays. It's a wonderful place to meet with people or to just take your kids when you need to sit down with a cup of coffee while they play. They have a good variety of drinks on top of the seasonal offerings. The food is good, and I kind of love that a lot of it is made in a waffle iron. It makes me want more waffle shaped food. The grilled cheese is made with sourdough bread and cooked in a waffle iron. It has these little crispy bits that are heavenly. One of my favorites is the sausage egg and cheese biscuit with a side of gravy. It's also prepared in a waffle maker and has those little crispy bits on the edges. So so good! So yourself a favor and give it a try.

I used to frequent this place while in college to study. Now I drop in every once in a while to try their new items out. Now to August they have a summer menu, from which we got the lemonade pie, cookie butter latte and tres leches latte. The tres leches latte was okay, it was just milky coffee which considering its tres leches seems about right. I preferred the cookie butter latte as it had a stronger taste of the flavoring. Although I will say we got two cookie butter lattes one with oatmilk one with regular milk and in the oatmilk one the cookie flavor was much more prominent so I would recommend getting oatmilk in it, if you decide to try it. The lemonade pie was really though, I always enjoy the baked goods they have. We went through the drive thru, and were the only ones in line at the time so we were greeted and serviced fairly quickly.

Very mediocre place, extremely slow wait and okay food. It was an hour wait from when our order was placed for 3 entrees when they only had about 3 other groups there. Food is not what you would expect for the price. Our waitress told us there were $3.99 margaritas and 1/2 price desserts but I was billed for full price when the check came. It turned out she said she was mistaken and refused to change it. Save yourself from the disappointment and go anywhere else. I now understand why the restaurant is always so empty. read more

El Tostaco Regio does not serve typical Mexican cuisine. Their food is what you would find served on the streets of Mexico. So there's no refried beans, rice or a queso plate here. Most of their dishes comes with beans and a cup of broth. Their food is served fresh, but messy. Everything they make is packed with flavor, but not overpowered by spices. The tables have three complimentary sauces you can try with your dishes. If your other party is not in the mood for Mexican, El Tostaco Regio also have burgers and baked potatoes. Their menu is bilingual, thankfully. The staff are patient and kind. Prices are affordable. I will say that their AC system could've been better, considering we're in Summer now. They only have only bathroom. Aside from a TV playing Latino music, there's no decor inside at all. My major issue is that El Tostaco Regio is NOT wheelchair accessible. That's completely unacceptable!
