Came here on Thursday night, an hour before closing. Place wasnt packed, but busy. They have a brewery inside as well, just FYI. Good selection of desserts to choose from but we opted to get the Churros, and they didnt disappoint. Big, warm, sweet goodness... We got some drinks as well. Loved the decor inside. Would definitely come back. read more

I stopped by just to pick up some breakfast burritos - I've had coffee before once but I had never been in store. So I came by, one sausage burrito and one chicken chorizo burrito with red salsa was the order. I will say they're not many workers you see up front, so service is quick and simple but if someone is helping a customer it can feel like you've waited some time. They put all the salsa within your order box if it's to go - I spent about $30 for sausage, egg and tater tots burrito with a basic red salsa. For the chicken chorizo, also tater tots and egg. The red salsa wasn't spicy but well spiced if that makes sense? It had a deep tasteful Smokey flavor but I wish it had some heat to it. The burritos are okay, they're good but pricey and nothing to run home about. They're a good size, filling and basic if you just need a quick eat that's not prepared by yourself. Get a coffee here! Get breakfast elsewhere maybe for the same price.. read more

This place has so many amazing Mexican inspired coffee options, like mazapán, horchata, cajeta, and more! I tried the horchata latte, and it was so good. The horchata mixed with the coffee was just right not overly sweet like some other places. The cinnamon in it added such a delicious touch. Their conchas are also yummy! They have so many flavors, including pumpkin, strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla. I tried the strawberry and chocolate, and both were delicious. The guy who took and prepared our order was very welcoming, friendly, and patient with us. The space is also very spacious and comfortable, makes it a great place to relax, enjoy your coffee, and have some dessert. Definitely a place I'd come back to try more of their drinks and conchas! read more

I was first introduced to Horchateria through their old San Fernando location, which has since been converted into Cafe de Abuela. I knew they had a Paramount location, so while I was in the area waiting for a movie to start at the drive in theater, I decided to stop by and get their infamous cafe de olla. A couple of things I really like about this location that the old San Fernando spot lacked: there is plenty of space to sit down and relax, and the store itself is huge. They also have a good selection of merchandise and food options, plus a drive-thru, which I think is really convenient. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed in the coffee. It tasted very bland. I thought adding more sugar might help, but nope. I honestly think it just needed more cinnamon or a stronger overall flavor. Thankfully, it was only $3.80. I'll probably come back another time and try something else on the menu. I do hope they improve the cafe de olla, though, because that used to be the reason I visited their San Fernando location almost every day on my way to work. read more

Dumbfounded, seriously. I was expecting one of the best Green Tea Horchata drinks ever which should have consisted of good flavors, quality ingredients, and the correct amount of ingredients. Instead I received a poor beverage. First, my beverage had mostly green tea and maybe a quarter of horchata. Second, since it was mostly green tea it tasted bland. Third, my beverage was made incorrectly. Why? Well, I noticed photos on Yelp that had perfectly made Green Tea Horchata drinks that consisted of more than half of horchata and about a quarter of green tea. What happened to mine!? Service was exceptional! Nice young lady (Aurora) with a smile on her face and friendly. I ordered at 5pm exactly. The venue is huge! There were fun artifacts, souvenirs, and enough seating for a big crowd. Oh! And a door that leads to a brewery, but with a different name. Wish I would have tasted my drink while I was still at Horchateria...I would have asked for a remake. read more

Finally had a chance to try this place out. The horchata frappe was very tasty, although it was also very sweet (as expected). The warm churros with drizzled lechera were PERFECT. Will return to try their breakfast options. read more

Stopped here after a quick trip to Northgate Market. Surprised this place had so many reviews, so had to check it out. My husband and I came here pretty late, I would've liked to try their churros and other desserts that looks super delicious, but wasn't feeling it when we visited. We just opted to get a large horchata to share. I was not really a fan. Their horchata is super, super freaking sweet. I've definitely had better horchata elsewhere. The price and quantity is fair I think, but I'll have to try other things on their menu to see if just the horchata is not to my taste. Interior is very clean and spacious. This place is very well decorated, with art and merchandise around the store. However, it took quite a while before my order was taken even when no one was in front of me. Kind of just awkwardly stood there and took my phone out because no one came to take my order. Service was nice though when someone finally came over to take my order, and I got my drink really quick. There's a little bit of parking available, you may have an issue grabbing a spot on a typical day I think. There is a convenient drive-thru though. Will try to check this place out again whenever I'm nearby, I'm hoping other drinks will be better. read more

Right when I stepped in, I was genuinely impressed by the amount of space and authentic Mexican art/decor they had! There was also a brewery that is soft opening inside which was a nice touch. We came for the churro sundae and it was absolutely delicious. The churros were perfectly fresh and the horchata ice cream was top notch. Perfect for sharing! The drinks, though, were way too sweet, especially the green tea horchata. I wish there was a way to make it less sweet but they unfortunately don't have any adjustment options. read more

Horrible service. Would not go back. I bought churros (not even good) and two other pastries. I picked up my box and left. Once in my car I peeked inside the box and noticed the churros weren't in there. I went back inside and told the young lady they were missing. She points back at the side counter and says they are there. Like I should have known. It was my first and last time here. read more

Used to go to their location pre Covid. Came back recently and honestly the prices are so expensive. I spent $18 for two drinks. That's 9 dollars per drink. I just got a matcha latte and a horchata latte. I don't know how it even cost that much? I usually spend 18 for 3 drinks, but for two felt kinda excessive. The drink was also extremely sweet, like excessively so. It's so sad because I used to adore this place. I understand that times are hard for businesses, but I just cannot justify spending that much money on a drink. Still love the concept of the business, and the employees are very friendly. read more

I Love the vibe here! The inside is pretty big and there is seating for you to enjoy your drinks/treats and do some laptop work. They have many types of drinks iced/hot/blended and also sell some baked goods. The service is fast and friendly and I always leave satisfied with my experience here read more

Tried two new items. First the Strawberry cold foam coffee! Yummy 5/5 stars. Then I tried the mazapan cold foam coffee and it was complete opposite... super watered down coffee and the cold foam was flavorless and cost $1.60. Why does it cost so much?? It literally had no taste, I was so disappointed read more

The vibey place is very spacious, got good music, and yummy treats! My boyfriend and I have been here twice so far and we enjoy it! The watermelon agua fresca was not overly sweet and was light tasting, which I really enjoyed! The cheesecake was nice and cold, the graham cracker crust was very crumbly though but the taste was very rich! The second time we went, we got a mazapan frappe and the strawberry paleta frappe; BOTH very true to the flavors and very strong! These were paired with nice, hot, fresh mini churros and got some chocolate dipping sauce on the side. The chocolate is a little on the runny side; I know for the future I will be getting the lechera sauce instead! But these drinks were perfect for the heat wave we were experiencing! Lots of indoor seating, they sell very cute merch that includes coin concha purses, stickers, mugs, etc. We have only come together on Tuesday evenings so I am not sure what any other day is like or if it is more busy on a weekend. But I will definitely be coming back to try out other drink flavors and yummy desserts! read more

Came here specifically for the Churro Sundae. The churros were freshly made and had a great flavor. They were not as crispy as I like them on the outside, but the inside was warm, slightly chewy, and soft like I like them. Perfectly paired with the guava and lechera sauce it was smothered with. Ice cream was a great addition as well. The place is huge! Service was good. They also serve breakfast. Great place for dessert! read more

Came here again with coworker who wanted to try it because they saw it on instagram...was willing to give it another shot...and unfortunately, it's still a no. Service was slow and it wasn't even that busy. Ordered chilaquiles because I was done with their desserts/baked goods from the last time I visited. My order looked good but tasted mediocre...all for the 'gram. Hate that! If you're a matcha person, their matchapan ain't it.. I guess they're just riding the trend too. Not worth my money...don't waste yours. read more

The concha was good 4.5. The churro muffins were absolutely delicious 5/5. The hot chocolate was good, not too sweet. The horchata steamer 5/5 not too sweet, you could taste the horchata and hot chocolate. The cafe de olla frappe 5/5 wasn't too strong in coffee. The churros were good and thick. They tasted fresh, and I'm pretty sure they made them which is why it took a little longer to receive. The workers were kind and patient, super efficient too. The ambiance was super dope. The vibe was nice, area clean. It was giving modern Mexican culture vibes. read more

The ambiance and cleanliness inside of this cafe was very impressive! I was told to go here by a friend. It's like a rustic industrial warehouse vibe inside with lots of homey hispanic decor. After waiting at the counter and looking at the menu for a while (because only one guy was working.. doing both drive thru and the front!!), I picked out the Horchata frappe. The only thing was I expected to taste more of the Horchata flavor.. I feel like it was a creamy milk frappe with very tame expresso and lots of cinnamon powder shaken on the whip cream. Unfortunately it tasted alright to me, but hopefully it was just because the barista was in a rush being by himself and didn't do things correctly? I did enjoy relaxing on the couches but I found myself not really wanting to finish my drink. If I were to come back here, I'd only do so if someone invited me or if I wanted to study in here. Not sure if I would want to go back again on my own. Bathrooms were big and clean inside. The pastries and bakery items look promising. read more

Overall 10/10 experience for me and I def will be coming back! read more

Walked in for a horchata steamer and walked out feeling like I'd just been wrapped in a cinnamon blanket. The drink came out quick, no waiting around while my sweet tooth negotiated terms. First sip? Warm, creamy, perfectly balanced. Not overly sweet, not bland. Just smooth horchata comfort with that subtle cinnamon hug that makes you slow down and appreciate life for a second. The space is open and inviting, easy to relax in, and the service was genuinely friendly without feeling forced. You can tell they take pride in what they're serving. If you need something warm, comforting, and worth the calories, this horchata steamer is it. Definitely recommend. El Yepista - Gabriel read more

I was excited to try Horchatería Río Luna based on the reviews, but unfortunately it didn't live up to the hype. The coffee was extremely bland and lacked flavor. It tasted watered down and didn't have the rich taste I expect from a specialty coffee shop. The horchata was alright, but not enough to make up for the disappointing coffee. Given all the positive reviews, I expected something much better. Overall, I found the place overrated and don't see myself returning. read more

Horchateria Rio Luna - Horchata Iced Coffee with Lechera and Caramel - Desserts Near Me - Paramount, California

I was pretty surprised at how large the interior is for a cafe that sells drinks and some breakfast items. I was craving some coffee and I heard about this spot as a recc. I love horchata so as soon as I saw the name, Horchateria Rio Luna, I thought why not? There wasn't any written info on the menus that nondairy milks were offered, but thankfully the barista mentioned they had almond milk or oat milk as a substitute. I got the Iced Horchata Latte with oat milk, and to be honest, I had trouble tasting the Horchata flavor I love. It tasted like a vanilla latte with cinnamon powder tossed ontop. It was good though, but as I drank it, the remaining bits of powder at the bottom of the drink made the texture chalky. So I didn't fully finish it. Anyways, the coffee was pretty decent and once again, the interior blew me away at how cozy it is with several couches and so many tables to sit at. Free wifi with password written at the counter. Definitely a good spot with AC to use a laptop for study. *free parking / wifi *unique Mexican decor *breakfast items also served *has a drive-thru as well read more

This is one of my favorite place to work out of. They offer Wi-Fi and have some plugs for your laptops. The place is huge and has plenty of seating. The food options are pretty good during the breakfast hours. My favorite is the breakfast sandwiches, tater tots, the biscuits and gravy, and their chilaquiles. After 2pm they have pastries and their drinks available. My favorite go to drink is the hot chocolate with oat milk or their aqua frescas & their cheesecakes are pretty good as well. The service is friendly and pretty quick. I def recommend! read more

Stopped by and tried some drinks, churros and breakfast burrito. We ordered the party pack of churros, but honestly it felt like more of an empty box than a "party" pack for $15. On the plus side, they do give you 3 dip options, which I liked and was more than enough. We also tried the Horchata Oaxaqueña and the horchata iced coffee. Both were decent, but not amazing - the horchata itself tasted a bit watered down. The barbacoa breakfast burrito was delicious. Yes, it is almost $18 but it was packed with barbacoa and had a great taste. This place is worth checking out, they have so many options to choose from! read more

It's been nine years since I last visited Horchateria. I still remember when they were at their original, much smaller location. Back then, you could already tell they had something special. Since then, I've seen them slowly expand, build, and remodel over time--and coming back now with some friends, it honestly made me proud to see how far they've come. The new location looks great, and everything still feels true to the quality and vibe I remember. Even better, I heard they've opened another location, which is amazing to see as someone coming back from Sacramento, CA after all these years. Wishing them nothing but continued success. I hope they keep growing and opening more locations in the future. They've come a long way, and they deserve it. read more

Huge fan. I love coming here, either for a coffee and breakfast hangout or grabbing churros and horchata ice cream (so good) for a dessert date. There's always a good reason to go to Horchateria. The interior is gorgeous and vibrant, it's very art-centric, and the cafe hosts live music/comedians/different venues in their extra pop-up room. The music is often really good, too. The breakfast menu is good, and is served on homestyle dishes. My main order is either their horchata frappe, or horchata ice cream. I've had so many friend meetups and dates here. I love being able to support a chill, but fun local cafe. From the owners/staff to the customers, it's always a vibe. The people are great, and are genuinely happy you stopped by. read more

Came here on a whim. Glad I did! The atmosphere is really chill inside, it's huge and it was very warm inside. The food meal is available from 7am to 2pm. I ordered cafe de la oja- it was a little sweet, so after drinking it about halfway. I went, and I had them refill it with regular coffee and they were very sweet and offered to give me a new cup of regular. I am planning to go back to try the food. I will go back to enjoy the coffee and desserts. read more

The food is so good here. I love this place. The churros are the best thing in my opinion. :)

Took my boyfriend for the very first time to check out the spot. The lounge area was dope, the ambiance was great. We were both excited, however they got our orders WRONG. We asked for a an iced latte, however, they ended up giving us a hot latte. when we ask them to remake the drink instead of creating a whole new drink, they just poured the hot drink into a cup with ice, and when we got the drink, it was watered down because of all the ice that was poured into the drink. So we didn't even end up drinking the drink we ended up, tossing it out just felt like a waste of money. it could've all have been prevented if they would've just taken our order right. it was disgusting and we're definitely not gonna return back :( read more

Horchateria Rio Luna was lovely! Lots of menu items and lots of indoor seating. Great spot to meet up with friends and enjoy a sweet treat. The coffee was alright- not really my taste.

Came in for lunch and we both ended up getting breakfast. Loved the fact that b'fast is served until 2pm - nice bonus! Service was great. The staff welcomed us when we walked in which was very nice. I was blown away on walking in to this very spacious, very open, and warm café. Lots of room around the tables, lots of artwork on the walls, a nice little spot to buy little things like coffee mugs and related items. I took lots of photos - that's how much I liked what I saw. I ordered the "3 all natural fluffy pancakes, coconut cream, AND organic maple syrup. Slap me now - I'm in Southern California and they are service MAPLE SYRUP?! I immediately ordered this. My friend ordered the barbacoa breakfast burrito. I have to say that my pancakes were just delicious. Listen, I've been to a café in downtown Lake Placid, NY - in the heart of maple syrup country - and they did not service maple syrup - you couldn't even pay for it. Crazy! So HRL get's kudos from this displaced Canadian who loves maple syrup on his pancakes. In fact, when the owner (David) came by I complimented the fact the dish was excellent and the syrup was literally the caviar on top. My buddy loved his b'fast burrito. I'm coming back, but I wonder if I will ever try anything other than the pancakes with maple syrup. Yum, yum, yum. By the way, I had my first horchata (plain) here. Really enjoyed it! read more
