    Me & my boyfriend had been trying 4+ star review places around San Diego/ Chula Vista and were let down by every single spot except this one! Great portions for great prices & AMAZING flavor. 10/10! I wish their sitting area was a bit bigger because it was a bit of a wait but definitely worth the wait. The customer service was great as well the woman who helped us was so sweet! :)

    Mazapán latte
    Lidia B.

    Went in to have breakfast as this place was recommended by some friends . It did not disappoint. The mazapán latte was delicious, the waffle with Nutella was sweet . Our server Dulce was super sweet and made sure everything was okay with our food . Differently going back to try the lunch menu . Oh super cute wall decor of Frida and neon lights

    Chilaquiles
    Adrian T.

    This place is so nice I stopped by for breakfast with my sister and we really enjoyed it , I got the protein chilaquiles they were delicious and a very big serving I had to take it home. Definitely coming back another time

    Love how you're able to pay via QR code!

    We tried coming here a few months ago but they were closing up. Finally had a chance to re-try this little gem. Based off old Yelp pics, it looks like the business revamped their menu + interior. The aesthetics of this little cafe is so cute + social media worthy! From the interior, to the food/drink presentation, & everything in between. They have a small shared parking lot with other businesses. We got lucky as some patrons were leaving. When we walked in we were immediately seated. There is limited tables so I can see it getting busy. When we went, it was a full house. But one thing I must say - they are QUICK without us feeling rushed! We ordered a horchata, soda, birria fries, & the el mamado omelette. The food came out in what felt like less than 5mins!! I ordered the omelette with refried beans, rosemary potatoes, & tortillas. My omelette was perfect! Could've been a little hotter, but no complaints. I loved the taste & texture, everything paired well. My husband ordered the birria fries. The birria was so tender & the flavors were there! We asked for additional hot sauce - their salsas were not spicy enough for us. But as you read my other reviews, we have a MAJOR tolerance for spice. So what's not spicy for us can be spicy for others. Our total was $51 which was deff reasonable for everything we got. Definitely a cute hidden gem to try if you're in the area! Glad I was finally able to check this spot off my list.

    Eggs in the side
    Felicia C.

    Shout out to our server Luis! He was amazing. Knew what to recommend and checked in us often. Food was excellent. Bae is still talking about the chilaquiles. The best Au for me to describe these are deliciously sauced and topped wet nachos. Great hangover food. I get the eggs on the side. Quaint restaurant with a small parking lot. We arrived just ahead of a rush. All tables were filled. Hidden gem. If you find yourself in Chula Vista don't sleep on this place! Oh, peep the photo. Cookies served with the coffee. Nice touch!

    Enchiladas suizas

    Le voy a dar dos estrellas porque el servicio de la pobre mesera fue excelente a pesar de que era la única atendiendo gente. No se como estén los otros platillos pero las enchiladas suizas estaban desabridas, solo con ver el color y la consistencia de la salsa supe que no iban estar buenas, el arroz que le acompañaba tampoco tenía sabor y había granos que estaban duros (tal vez viejos). La torta de lomo también nos decepcionó. Eran dos trozo de carne gruesos y tampoco tenían sabor. Si van, mejor ordenen el desayuno porque a las personas que estaban a un lado dijeron que estaba sabroso, era comida dulce pero no vi exactamente que era. I'm giving this place two stars because the service provided by the poor waitress was excellent, despite the fact that she was the only one serving customers. I can't speak for the other dishes, but the enchiladas suizas were bland. Just by looking at the color and consistency of the sauce, I knew they wouldn't be good. The accompanying rice was also flavorless, and some of the grains were hard (perhaps stale). The torta de lomo was also a disappointment. It consisted of two thick slices of meat that, likewise, lacked any flavor. If you do go, you're better off ordering breakfast, the people sitting next to us said theirs was delicious, it was a sweet dish, though I didn't see exactly what it was.

    Desayuno del Jefe de Jefes Desayuno del Patron
    Melissa S.

    Wow super recomendado/ recommended. This place was delicious. I have no complaints except for the weird tasting tap water but they have SO MANY other drinks options. The caffe de olla 10/10 it was also served with cookies on the side!!! Yummy. For food, we got the desayuno jefe de jefes which allows you to pick your choice of omelette and chilaquiles: I got the omelette perron y chilaquiles de mole... SO DELICIOUS. We also got the desayuno el patron with the red chilaquiles and the Nutella French toast. Also very delicious. The service was great! The waitress was so attentive and friendly. The place itself is super cute and Mexican themed! Loved it. We will for sure be coming back (the menu is so large) and recommending the place to friends and family!

    Machaca and Eggs
    Rebekah H.

    My husband and I were excited to finally try this place! The photos I see of the food always look so yummy, and it definitely lived dip to the hype! At first I was worried they were cash only, but they do accept card payments. There is limited seating but the dining area is super cute! I ordered the machaca and eggs, while my husband ordered a burrito (can't remember which one). Our food was so tasty and flavorful and beautifully plated! My favorite on my plate were the potatoes; they were seasoned so well and were perfect! English speaking is a little bit limited, but absolutely well enough to order and enjoy your time if you do not speak Spanish. I am excited to continue to try out new dishes here!

    Amazing food! Very cute place and nice ambiance. My kids loved it. The food came out super fast!

    El Primo Omelette with Birria, beans & Roasted Rosemary Potatoes, ON POINT!
    Andy M.

    This Cafe has now become my favorite Cafe in the SouthBay. Been to many but this one is the complete package, the food, drinks, vibe & customer service is on point. Me & my daughter Andia love coming here for breakfast. It is small but very cute inside & they do move fast, great for a date or a family of 4-6, try to come before 11am on weekends it could get busy. What I love about this place is how all different people come here, tho it's based on Mexican food you'll see young & older white, Black & Asian people here. Last time I went 3 young black men next to us we're eating Birria omelettes with beans & a Mango drink, they were eating more Mexican than me & I loved that! Everything we've eaten here has been great, portions are a perfect size for a good quick breakfast or lunch. They have one of the better beans I've had, it has a chorizo flavor to it & they have the best rosemary potatoes & French Toast I've ever had. Love their omelettes my favorite is the Paisa Omelette. My other favorite item is the Molletes De Frijole y Queso, it's torta bread with spread beans & cheese & salsa, just like mom made growing up, delicious. We also love the presentation of the food, you can tell the cooks take pride in cooking their food. And their drinks are amazing, from Cafe De La Jolla & Agaus like the Guva agua which was amazing & me & my daughter's favorite the Chocolate Banana milk shake, my Andia said it taste exactly like the one I use to make her when she was little, honestly I think this one is better. Overall this cafe is an easy 5 star experience for me, it's me & my daughter's go to place for a good breakfast & some bonding. We can't wait to go back, keep up the great work Dolche & see you soon :)

    Chilaquiles with green and mole salsas added chicken. Anti-inflammatory juice on the side
    Marissa T.

    5 whole stars at a two dollar sign price! Found the place on Yelp with the hopes of a healthy yet filling breakfast. Dolche came through and then some. I had the chilaquiles with mole and green salsas with added chicken. Paired it with the "anti-inflammatory" juice drink. Flavors are bold and in beautiful harmony. They don't skimp on the seasonings, herbs, or time spent. The execution of each part of the dish was treated with attention to detail that is palate pleasing. The rosemary potatoes are moist yet crispy and rolled in fresh rosemary and parsley. The gentleman at the door greeted me and his service was kind with the right degree of presence. Dolce is killing it and you deserve to have a bite

    Sarahi M.

    honestly obsessed. The food was so good and everything looked incredibly aesthetically pleasing -- like every plate looked picture-perfect. The whole restaurant has the cutest girly vibe too. The decor is super pretty, colorful, and such a fun place to take photos or go out with friends. It's one of those spots where the atmosphere makes the experience even better. Definitely recommend if you want delicious Mexican food and a cute place to eat. I'll 100% be going back! Also the service was fast and attentive.

    Aquas Frescas, cucumber chia lemonade
    Ariana S.

    Very small restaurant, but not too busy on a Friday morning. Can't imagine how it gets on the weekends. But food and service were great!! Except for the girl not bringing my friend the coffee that he ordered. But I understand they were short staffed. They were very friendly and the food and drinks were good, therefore it wasn't a biggie. She was taking care of all the tables and you can tell she really did try to stay on top of everything. My cucumber chia lemonade was delicious, my kids really enjoyed their food as well. Definitely will be back when I'm in town again.

Parking shouldn't be an issue, they have spots in the front but then there's the big garage right behind it, and it's free. There's also street parking but you might have to pay. The place itself is very spacious and clean. They also have an outdoor patio for dogs. I do know later in the evening it gets louder and more like a club vibe, but it's not bad. Service was perfectly fine. I had no issues at all. Staff greeted us with a smile when we walked in. They were always checking up on us when we needed things. No issues at all. I thought everyone was doing their jobs. Happy hour is so worth it here. $1.99 tacos! I had the carne asada, birria and Chicharonnes tacos! While the meat portions look small, y'all need to realize this is happy hour street tacos! Adding some salsa from the self serve bar, it was so worth the price. We had 11 tacos, cheese nachos, 2 beers and 1 margarita and it was about $50! So worth it! I highly recommend Kalaveras for Mexican food. Great vibes. Great happy hour prices. I think this place is good for large groups also. It may not be kid friendly later into the night but it's very worth it!

I am not a big burger person but this place def topped the scales in a positive way! Their burger was amazing! The sweet potato fries were a little overdone (dark) but not burnt so I didn't have to return them. But the star of the show was their version of an espresso martini, but made with tequila.

It's the sort of place that young people and old can find something. I would call it more of a country kitchen versus a diner and they have inside seating only. For this visit I chose the Chorizo Omelette and really enjoyed it. It came with a ton of meat and a large fruit side. They could definitely use a little bit of refurbishment on the inside, but the food quality was very good and the pricing was fair. I would recommend if you are in the area.
