    Chicharrones en salsa roja (yummy!) beans and rice were great too!
    Melinda B.

    I came back to try their different taco meats! I always got to test the tacos lol. They have several kinds. I tried the asada, carnitas, pastor, cabeza and chicharrón prensado. All of the were very good! The seasoning on each of them was super tasty and tender. Oh! And I think their corn tortillas are made fresh because they had that really fresh corn flavor. Delicious! In going back for more soon.

    Menudo! Look at all the toppings and home made tortillas!

    We were passing through and looking for a good menudo place for my friend. This place was hopping! People waiting in line for their Sunday morning menudo and posole! The staff was friendly and attentive. Loved the place! Oh and the cafe de olla was perfect! Strong and not to sweet!

    Tacos!   Cilantro only ask for side of Cebolla Curtida (game changer)

    Every inch of this place screams home. The food is delicious, the service is like family. The place is clean, tidy and parking is easy Been coming here for a few years and will continue to.

    This is the spot if you're looking for an authentic home cooked Mexican meal. The service is always on point. It doesn't matter that it's 30 minutes before they close, the ladies are always very welcoming. The menu has so many options I always have a hard time picking what to get. But, you can't go wrong with anything you pick. The portions are perfect and always freshly made. The torta's bread is soft and perfectly filled with all the good stuff. The gordita was crispy, packed and very filling. The place is maintained clean and if you're lucky you can catch an episode of la Rosa de Guadalupe while you eat.

    All I can say is that we've found our favorite menudo and pozole spot! What made it even better we was the staff. They were very friendly and they were just like family. They asked to hold my toddler because he was reaching for them. It just really seemed like home in this restaurant, and we will for sure come back because of that.

We got there without the usual long wait, which was a nice surprise! I ordered the Cali Toast with country potatoes and a Rose Latte, and everything was so good. The Cali Toast is one of my go to orders, and the Rose Latte is definitely worth trying if you're in the mood for something a little different.

We were a…read moreparty of 6 but they let us get seated with only 4 people in our party present, which was nice since it was a little "toasty" outside. The orange juice tasted nice and cold and fresh. Very cute decor, the server was very kind and attentive. The pepper shaker cap fell off and dumped tons of black pepper on my friend's hash brown chips and they did not hesitate to bring out another order! Super kind. My only bummer was the toast on my Bacon Up Toast Breakfast was not... toast. It was very lightly toasted. Could have been WAY more toasted to hold the weight of all of the avocado spread, tomatoes, bacon, and onions that was stacked on top! Definitely needed a sturdy toast base so it was hard to pick up to eat. With the business being named TOAST, I would think they could nail the toast more. Food tasted 10/10 and will definitely be coming back. I will just ask for the toast to be more toasted for the future.

They were fresh, crunchy, with ample green tomatillo salsa that was flavorful, making for a very authentic bite. The beans were very good and complemented the chilaquiles perfectly. Authentic Mexican flavors showcased well. Service: The waitress was friendly, attentive, and joyfully answered my questions about the menu. I also asked about the traditional colorful head piece located behind glass next to the register and learned that it is a Chinelo, a traditional iconic carnival character from Morelos, Mexico. It is clear, the restaurant owners are proud of their heritage and are sharing it with everyone. Ambiance: The small but cozy restaurant features an incredibly vibrant, maximalist indoor garden vibe that immediately makes you feel like you are dining inside an enchanted greenhouse. Dense artificial greenery blankets the walls and ceiling. The cozy, casual neighborhood layout is packed with personality, featuring playful multicolored floral tablecloths, festive flags, and unique lived-in accents. It's an energetic setting for a lively meal.

(See attached picture). This restaurant is in such an obscure location, I can't believe I was going to a Burrito Track across the street for so many years not knowing this place existed. Friendly staff and prompt service. The unfortunate negative is it's location and I'm referring to parking. There must be 8 business crammed into this lot. With a bar to the right and a laudermat on its left finding a parking spot is like winning the lotto. Now layer in one driveway and you have to make a 3 point turn just to navigate to leave. The short answer is I will absolutely go back to this place as long as there is a parking space to be had.

The only small downside was that my friends felt the Short Rib Pappardelle needed a little more flavor. They ended up adding some salt to bring out the taste. I have to give a huge shoutout to our waiter! He overheard us saying happy birthday to our friend, and without us even asking, he brought her a complimentary dessert. Such a thoughtful gesture and definitely made the night extra special. Overall, we had a great time and really appreciated the attentive service and little touches that made our dinner memorable!

The food was good, the atmosphere was welcoming, and it actually felt like a cool little local café. Now the whole place feels completely different. Did it get new owners or new management? Because walking in now has this weird family-owned liquor-store-with-a-coffee-machine vibe. Everyone seems new, and even the barista was sitting there eating behind the cashier. We ordered the Everything Croissant and the C&S Grilled Cheese, and both were honestly terrible. Absolutely no flavor. The Everything Croissant is supposed to have eggs, onion, bell pepper, cheese, tomato, house spread and avocado, but somehow the whole thing still tasted like nothing. The C&S Grilled Cheese was even more disappointing. Their menu specifically says it comes with soy chorizo, spinach, bacon, cheddar and spicy buffalo cheese. There was absolutely NO soy chorizo in ours. That used to be one of the things that gave the sandwich its flavor. Instead, what we got looked thrown together and tasted nothing like what we remembered. And several things we used to like are gone from the menu altogether. Then you notice the B health department rating and think, okay... what exactly happened here?
