Being in the area, I tried to find a place that could satisfy my Latin cuisine craving. Parking was easy in their private lot, and there were plenty of tables to sit at. I got there Tamale pork and Puerco en Salsa Verde. Having had pork en salsa verde before, I had expectations of how it was going to taste. Although it was still OK, it was not my favorite. The texture was thicker than expected, and there was a flavor profile that was just missing. Pork was also pretty tough. The tamale was small and could've used some kind of sauce or dip with it. Overall, I thought the staff are really nice and the establishment is cute. But the food was a little bit underwhelming. Not sure if it was just what I ordered, but I do recommend others to try them out. read more

Haydees Cafe - Three different types of Egg dishes, potatos, refried beans, toast, corn tortillas and salsa! - Mexican Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

Ordered the chicken tacos, was expecting grilled chicken but instead got some sort of pulled chicken that was incredibly dry. Asked for corn tortillas, as it wasn't specified on the menu if they were corn or flour, they charged $1.25 for the tortillas? Service was good, prices ok, but the tacos were bad. read more

Been there. Done that, Love the tostadas clean fast service.convenient location easy parking.

If you like traditional Latin/Mexican breakfast fare this is the spot. As a friend, a Texas native, stated "the most authentic Mexican food outside of Texas I've found!" On my first visit I bought a number of different breakfast tacos & burritos & a plate to try the spot out. Saturday morning was PACKED! Standing room only. Parking lot was too. Always a good sign! Very small & bustling place. Lots of take out/pick up orders so it was a decent minutes wait time. Grabbed our sack to go & ate a feast for breakfast with four of us. If you want authentic Mexican- this is the spot. Never had tortillas this style & everything was hot, fresh & good! Be patient. Walk in & order to go. Them go sit in the car for 15-20 min if you're there on a Saturday AM... far better than feeling crowded & in the way read more

My Husband and I had Haydee's cater our wedding food. The food was delicious! All the guest raved about the food! They catered 250 plates for us! They delivered and all! Food was delicious! read more

Delicious food and good service! This is a smaller place so larger parties may need to split up or get their order to go depending on what time you get there. We were a group of 6 and came at 8:45am on a Thursday and easily got a spot. I got the steak omelet and it was so good! I got a homemade tortilla instead of the toast, and that was a nice touch. The potatoes that are served with it were also perfect for me. read more

Stopped in for lunch. It's a small, strip mall restaurant. Had a busy lunchtime crowd, but we never felt rushed. The food was exactly what the doctor ordered. It was fresh, well made and delicious. The staff was friendly and the restaurant and bathroom were clean. Would recommend. Need to remember this place for when we pass through again. read more

I've already fallen in love with Haydees from their Oakwood location. It's one of the more authentic Mexican places you'll find in a bevy of Mexican and Latin restaurants. It's the kind of place where the salsa varies a little bit each day based on how abuelita is feeling! They serve a truly delicious breakfast, and their tamales are my favorite in town (from a restaurant). They also have very pleasant and professional servers - they'll ask if you if you red, green OR BOTH! salsas. Odd that that's a mark of quality, but it matters that they give the option instead of making you feel like a gringo when you actually want to alternate each bite with a new salsa. The Gainesville location near Best Buy is a nice looking place. It's much larger than the Oakwood store, and I think gets less regular lunch crowds. Breakfast is a non-issue for seating or grabbing something on the run. Dinner can be a little more crowded as they have seating for large groups and will frequently have a party going on. The one improvement is like to see is attention to their bocadillo bread - the torta. No real issue, but the Oakwood cook butters and grills the bread I think and it comes off as something truly elevated. They're also smaller as I recall, so this location will fill you up whereas you may have to order two of the smaller sandwiches in Oakwood. read more

Food was fresh and hot. Soup, I forgot the name of it, reminds me of Chicken, tomato and rice. Everything I ordered was tasty. My mom's ham in her omelette caught the fire a little too long. The red salsa caught us all off guard. It was a little spicy. The place was very clean. I was impressed. I'd go back again. read more

This little restaurant packs huge flavor. Service is always great. I've been going here for at least a decade. Their tacos have not changed. In a great way. I even ate here for my birthday one year because I was obsessed. If you're craving tacos, you gotta check this place out. read more

We have eaten at Haydee's cafe several times now and it is a place I crave on a weekly basis. The staff and owners are always so nice and friendly and going out of their way to accommodate you. The food is out of this world!! One of the best Mexican we have found in a sea of Mexican places here in the Gainesville area. My only complaint is that they aren't open longer in the day, because I want to eat there 24 hours a day! Their chorizo is the best around!! This is a weekly must eat! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Haydees Cafe! We go nearly weekly and have not yet been disappointed by the food or service. The servers are always so kind to us and our toddler, who can make quite the mess. The food is always on point! Tortillas are incredible as is the entire menu. Breakfast is our favorite but when we get to go to lunch we enjoy a heaping plate of their tamales! read more

Food was amazing! We had the Chilaquiles and the 4 meat omelette. Service was good, the server rang in the wrong dish but it was quickly fixed. The ambiance is good, small but accommodating. We definitely will be back for more authentic dishes!!! Yummm read more

Haydees Cafe - Chilaquiles Plate - Mexican Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

Excellent food and fast service. Good portions from a clean Restaurant. Totally recommended

Watch out for this restaurant. They are charging 20% tips for a large table to each member of your party and ask for tips again when your are paying your bill. Way to expensive for mediocre food and delivered cold to the table. I ended up paying the most for myself because the more you consume of course the more tip I have to pay, charging me 20% extra for ordering more than everyone on the table. In that case the waitress should have pay more attention to me and offered me an excellent service, since I was to be charge the most of the table tips. My third time and the last for me. They should have said once we sit ahead of time that there would be and extra 20% charge for eating there. We won't come back! Very unhappy! read more

Tacos were a nice size but lacked flavor. Tamales were dry and ok. I would eat here if nothing else was opened.

Finally had the chance to stop by this little spot. I'm now 100% sure all the delicious food is found in tiny unassuming out of the way places! Very comfy atmosphere and friendly people. Was a great place to sit and relax with tasty fresh food. And BONUS, it's very inexpensive! I had the Chilaquiles. I can't even put into words how yummy it was! Fresh made tortilla strips, small perfectly runny eggs, fantastic beans and queso fresco. Yes!! Can't wait to try lunch here soon! Do your stomach a favor and eat here if you like fresh authentic Mexican. read more

Great food hate they're not open on Sundays the best Mexican food around and I'm from San Diego so I've had the best

One of the best chimichangas I've had, plus the price is reasonable. I don't leave reviews often, but this is definitely worth a try

haydee's cafe is located near my office and about it is my team's favorite spot to get breakfast. we all love the steak, egg, and cheese burritos and the verde salsa! the cashiers are always so nice and make sure we have plenty of napkins and verde salsa. we usually order to-go, but it's a real homey feel on the inside. next time, i'd like to sit in and eat my breakfast there. read more

Haydees Cafe - steak, egg, and cheese burrito (added potatoes and avocado) - Mexican Near Me - Gainesville, Georgia

Was super delicious. I got the scrambled egg and bacon plate, and a sweet tea. Was about $15 but for the amount of food and quality it was fair priced. It was busy, when I came in I got the last table that was open. Despite how busy it was my food didn't take too long to come out fresh and hot. Waitresses were friendly and very attentive. I'll definitely come here again, on an empty stomach too since it was a little more food than I expected lol read more

Been there once for breakfast it was decent. They have a market next to it but I did not check that out. I will come back though. Lots of people love this place. Maybe just an off day or maybe I just didn't like what I had ordered read more

Great little hole in the wall. I always get the Chilaquiles with chicken, but their sandwiches and tortas are great too.

Hands-down the best breakfast tacos in the area. I can't complain about one thing! Salsa Verde is amazing and the bacon, egg, and cheese tacos are one of a kind! read more

Food was fantastic. Can't wait for the new restaurant to open so we can try out the dinners.

This is a hidden gem in the Gainesville area. By far the best tasting GA-Mex joint with a friendly wait staff to boot. We came when they first opened and been hooked ever since. Oddly, in addition to the standard Mexican fare (the mole and tostadas are faves of ours) they make and outstanding Philly. Go figure. read more

If I could give this place a zero I would. Terrible customer service. Had put in an order of quite a few breakfast tacos, only to get something completely inaccurate of what we had ordered. Having already paid, we made a call back to the restaurant to speak with the owner, only for them to speak over us just before hanging the call up entirely. Very disappointed, was once a favorite but we will no longer be dining with this establishment. read more
