What an exceptional experience...they start you off with panecito dulce ...(Mexican bread) for the table and various options to drink...specialty coffee and lattes...crowded busy place so be prepared to wait..(our wait was about 45 minutes but well worth the wait my friends! Loved the food...we started off with nachos .:with homemade chips and all the toppings...Chicken fried steak was plenty delicious and hearty ..came with pancakes....very tasty ..then some chilaquiles with green sauce, refried beans, and steak cooked to perfection! We also bought some tasty pastries to go! We WILL be back! read more

Portions are too small for price point, this photo of the biscuits and gravy pretty much sums up my claim. Barely enough gravy to cover the top of each half of the biscuit. I have given them 3 different chances throughout the past few year to change my mind, but NOPE, they are consistently providing small portions for overpriced food. read more

Took a day off work to have a brunch date with the wife. Our host/server had excellent customer service. Instead of chips and salsa they offer amazingly warm conchitas that were a delicious starter with their yummy coffee. We had delicious crunchy asada chilaquiles. Pancakes were standard pancakes like anywhere else. Then the caramel churros stuffed French toast put it over the top. It was really yummy. Overall it was a great spot to have a brunch date. read more

Came here for brunch & omg there's so many options! It was a little overwhelming at first, not gonna lie but I decided to go with the churro crepes & the chocolate concha shake. We also got the asada chilaquiles and the triple sampler to share. It reminded me a lot of like a hispanic denny's. Tons of options for everyone! I love that they give out mini conchas! That's so cute. The service here was okay. I think it could definitely be worked on but if its not a serious issue to them then it is what it is. Tons of parking - I do believe this place can get super packed so keep that in mind. read more

To be honest I was a bit apprehensive when my girlfriend said let's go here, as a lot of places now are places for influencers on IG and TikTok to post. However, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the amazing taste and quality of the food here. We started with the free conchitas, and they were DELICIOUS and warm. All the employees were very kind and helpful and attentive to us. I ordered the spicy red chilaquiles with the carne asada. Delicious! Josephina was very sweet and a great waitress. We also got the strawberry crepe and omelette with green sauce and chilaquiles (I prefer the spicy red) it was delicious. If you want great food and good service, this is the place! read more

Review is for Panecito located inside of Loaded Cafe. So glad this place opened serving the best conchas ever. I've never had a warm and soft concha like this place. They give you conchas that's still warm and not too sweet. I also got the strawberry kunch cake was ok but must try their conchas. I gotta be back to try their coffee and lattes too. Not overly priced imo. Vanilla/chocolate concha about $2 bucks a piece. read more

I am actually flabberGASTED how that place has 4 stars. We should of known it wasn't going to be it when we had to wait for 5 minutes for somebody to at least notice we were waiting to be seated Giant rips in the booths, menus faded so badly I looked like the monopoly man trying to read between the lines. One thing about me I'm gonna finish my food. This is probably the only place I left 75% of the food remaining on the plate... & didn't ask for a bag. Did my mom get her greasy 99% hash brown machaca burrito to go?! Nope. She left it behind to try and finish reading the menu for us. Coffee was 99% grounds, I guess the kitchen wanted me to have a mocha crunch coffee. Only plus side, the complimentary concha was actually pretty tasty. I sat where the kitchen was in my field of view. I clutched my pearls when I saw the dude put my chilaquiles in the MICROWAVE to melt the cheese. SKIP. IT. read more

The atmosphere was warm and festive, with great music and beautiful presentation on every dish. The food was excellent -- the carne asada tacos were flavorful and perfectly cooked, the enchiladas were rich and comforting, and the fresh guacamole was some of the best we've had. The margaritas were also amazing and paired perfectly with the meal. What really stood out was the service. Our server checked in often, made great recommendations, and even helped make the day feel extra special for my mom. You can tell this place cares about both the food and the people who come in. Highly recommend for family dinners, celebrations, or anyone craving authentic Mexican cuisine. We'll definitely be back!

Let's start with the margarita I got, I did not taste any alcohol in it (and I cannot have strong drinks! So that can tell you a lot) not worth $18. We basically paid for an expensive agua fresca! Then I ordered the carne asada skewers. The first bite was okay, not very flavorful, but I thought I could just finish it. As I go through the meat, I notice so much fat and very little meat. I grab another piece and bite into it, I start chewing and realize that it tasted like raw meat (with a hint taste of raw meat that spent too much time in the fridge) I immediately got nauseous and spit it out on a napkin. I told our server and he asked me what else I would like. I then ordered the fish tacos, he brought it out in less than 5 minutes (kind of fast if you ask me) I try a small piece of the fish and it wasn't bad, I give a piece to my friend and she only got fat. Why is there fat in my fish tacos! I tried to pick through it so I could atleast get full, but I couldn't do it. The server came to pick up our plates and asked me if I didn't like the tacos, I said no but that's okay don't worry about it. I was so disappointed because I was starving. My friend ordered the rib eye tacos and had to pick through it too because most of it was fat. The only good thing that happened was that our server did not charge me for the two plates that I didn't eat. We thanked him, paid the check and left. Unfortunately, this was not the best food and we were excited to eat and celebrate my birthday.

There were so many different flavors and textures on one plate, and everything tasted fresh.

We went during an off time so peak times I would expect a wait. We really blew our diets but it was worth it. We shared a small order of fries topped with chorizo, chipotle mayo, crumbled cheese, and raw jalapeno. It was soooo good and the small order was perfect for two without ruining your appetite. For my entree I had the Navajo taco which was a giant fry bread topped with red chile beef, beans, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and chipotle aioli. This was a true masterpiece of flavors. The fry bread was like a savory funnel cake flavor. Crunchy exterior and fluffy cloud like interior. The beef was melt in your mouth tender. My wife had hers with ground beef, potato, and green chile. They had a lot of different protein choices. Should have stopped at this point but they had a pumpkin pie filling stuffed sopapilla.

He explained the situation with the cup, even though I had been there the night before and received a full-size one.

Looking back, I realize I should have left positive reviews for all the other times we've been here because we truly do love this location and will continue to come back. I also want to make it clear that my review was never made with the intention of receiving anything in return. I appreciate Heath taking the time to reach out, hear me out, and make things right. People have bad days, and sometimes we have to give people a little grace. Thank you, Heath, for taking the time to listen and for addressing my concerns. I truly appreciate it. I've been coming here for over 30 years, and I've left 25%+ tips while continuing to support this place despite the service going downhill and the food being just "meh." I've spent hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars here over the years, and they know me by now. Well, today was probably the final straw. I simply asked for a to-go tea, and THIS is what I was handed. A literal kids-size/micro cup. What makes it even more frustrating is that this was my second time here this week. I've continued to come back and support this business, but this kind of service is ridiculous. I also seem to always end up with the same cranky employee who barely speaks English and, honestly, comes across as a little judgmental toward me. So I have to wonder... was I given this tiny cup because of that? Maybe. ‍ Either way, after 30+ years of being a loyal customer, you would think a little more consideration would be shown. Shame on you guys. This was incredibly disappointing and may have officially been the final straw. Update : I said the food was meh because we were actually there the night before and had to go Teas and receive the to go cups in the blue cups that are the normal size so I know it wasn't anything to do with the orders of the supplies so I feel like it was due to the waiter that we had.. When I said, the food was Meh It's because today we had lunch specials and we ordered the chicken fajitas. It came with three pieces of chicken, but I didn't want to speak up because it was a lunch special but three pieces of chicken they made one taco which I thought was shocking and then I had the chimichanga burrito which was really small and I've ordered these both before as lunch petrol and they've never been this small portion size before I'm sorry I should've left that in my original review so the comment of meh I didn't have anything to do with the drink size I received.

Mac & Cheese: delicious and they filled it up to the brim, it was literally oozing out when we picked up the food DRINKS: 5/5 Mula De Bruma: this was so refreshing and I usually go for a classic Moscow mule but I enjoyed the berry flavor in this cocktail. Frozen blackberries was a nice addition

Fraise Cafe

I'm honestly SO thankful I found this spot! If you have a sweet tooth AND love savory food, Fraise…read morehas a little something for everyone. They have both sweet & savory crepes, and we tried the Mediterranean crepe and the S'mores sweet crepe and WOW. The Mediterranean was SO delicious that I'm literally still thinking about it right now! The flavors worked so perfectly together, and the S'mores crepe was SO flavorful and satisfying. Of course, I couldn't pass up the Crème Brûlée because you already know I have a sweet tooth! And here's an extra reason to stop by: they have $13 breakfast deals that include a croissant + a drink! That is such a STEAL! Honestly... all of it was SO good. From the savory crepes to the sweet treats, Fraise is definitely a spot I'm happy I discovered.

I just got a little sick towards the end with how creamy the brie tasted. It's perfect for splitting with others, or you can alternate between a sweet crepe and this one. Turkey Pesto - 12/10 Perfect for brunch! I downed the whole thing by myself no problem. I would order this again in a heartbeat. Chicken Florentine - 7/10 I learned that I'm not a big fan of Swiss cheese. If you like Swiss cheese, this is the prominent flavor. Fraise Classic - 9.5/10 Perfect ratio of chocolate to fruit. I found it kind of strange that the whip cream was not sweetened, just tasted like plain milk.

Upon entering the establishment today, I anticipated a wait due to it being a weekend. Following a 20-minute wait, our server greeted us and provided attentive service. However, my review is based on the prices and food quality. I ordered the birria tacos, which unfortunately did not meet my expectations. The meat contained excessive fat and had an unusual taste, suggesting the use of low-quality meat. Additionally, I ordered a cheeseburger with fries, but the meat was not cooked to my desired level of doneness. I also found the onion ring burger to lack flavor. Our total bill came out to be $70 for three meals, two orange juices, and one lemonade. Notably, the complimentary conchitas served before our meal arrived were the highlight of our dining experience. Given the prices, I expected a higher standard of food quality. Consequently, I do not plan to return. read more

I've visited this place several times, and while the food is generally good, there's a recurring issue that's hard to overlook. Every dish I've tried has arrived at the table cold, even though the plate itself is hot. This suggests a delay between when the food is ready and when it's served, which is simply unacceptable. The service is friendly and attentive, but it seems there needs to be better coordination with the kitchen to ensure that orders are served promptly while the food is still hot. It's disappointing because the quality of the food deserves better presentation. Overall, it's a place with potential, but they need to address this issue to make the dining experience truly enjoyable. read more

I decided to give Loaded Cafe a try on two separate occasions, and unfortunately, both visits were far from pleasant. On the second visit, we ordered the red and green chilaquiles, but they were, to put it mildly, a mess. The flavors were off, and the presentation felt careless. The service didn't help either. Our server Jose P. seemed to be in a rush, barely acknowledging us, and it took ages for our coffee to arrive. To add to the frustration, it appeared they selectively decide who gets the complimentary sweet bread basket, something we didn't receive despite seeing other tables with it. After two tries, I'm not interested in coming back. There are far better breakfast options in the area. read more

This place is an absolute gem! My wife and I stopped by Loaded Cafe in Placentia, and we were blown away by how delicious the food was. I ordered the brioche French toast, and it was cooked to absolute perfection. It was incredibly fluffy, thick, and sweet. My wife got the seasonal pumpkin spice cheesecake stuffed French toast, and it was out of this world. It was rich, creamy, and packed with amazing fall flavors. The portion sizes were great, the service was friendly, and the food came out hot and fresh. We will definitely be making this our regular breakfast spot. If you are in the area and want an amazing breakfast, you need to check them out! read more

Had a great experience at Loaded Cafe in Placentia! Josefina was awesome--friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. The food was good, and the atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. One of the unique things about this location is that Panecito Bakery is inside the restaurant. They have a great variety of Mexican pastries and baked goods, with lots of options to choose from. We were even given complimentary conchas (Mexican sweet bread), which was such a nice touch! Overall, a great place to enjoy a meal and grab some delicious Mexican pastries. We'll definitely be back! read more

Loaded Cafe - Placentia 131 N Kraemer Blvd, Placentia, CA If you're craving a breakfast spot that doesn't hold back, Loaded Cafe lives up to its name. The chilaquiles plate with asada packs a flavorful punch, and the Nutella waffle is a sweet dream come true. Bonus points for the warm conchas they hand out--unexpected and delightful! Service is friendly and fast, even during busy hours, and the menu is stacked with options for every craving. Whether you're in the mood for pancakes, enchiladas, or a trio latte (though skip that one), this place has something for everyone. read more

First time at Loaded Cafe. We had been wanting to check it out since they opened and we finally did. There was no wait for a table of two on a Saturday afternoon which was a nice surprise for us. The place is clean and the service was great. Josefina took care of us and she made sure to explain the menu and answered our questions since again this is our first time here. The food was tasty, I had the breakfast torta and I loved it. Overall, it was a good experience and we will be coming back soon. read more

The customer service was decent, though not exceptional. I had higher expectations for the food and felt it could have been much better--the presentation was stunning, but the flavor fell short. I enjoyed two out of the three coffee flights, which were a highlight of the visit. The establishment was clean and appeared to be undergoing a remodel. Overall, my experience was just okay--it had its moments but didn't fully meet my expectations. read more

Visited Loaded in Placentia for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised by their extensive menu and affordable dishes.

The highlight was the bonus of free mini cakes for first-time customers, and we couldn't resist buying one - both were absolutely delicious! Highly recommend trying Loaded for a satisfying breakfast experience. read more

I think I've found the solution at PQH. We were welcomed by the warm smile of Jennifer, who was incredibly helpful throughout our wonderful experience. So, where should I start? We kicked things off with the Cafe de Olla, which was perfectly balanced and not overly sweet. It really gave me the jolt I needed! Seriously, you must order that first. Next, we tried the "Los Chilaquiles" with extra eggs and carnitas, along with the "Trio Sopesitos" combo. Can you believe the generous portions we received? Wow! Be careful with your choices because I left feeling stuffed and still had to take some home! Trust me, the menu doesn't do justice to the portion sizes. Don't let the prices mislead you! As you can see, I was thoroughly impressed not just with the food but also with the fresh, made-to-order meals no pre-made dishes here. I also appreciated our hostess Jennifer for being so humble and friendly when we inquired about the menu details. So the Jennifer and the crew at PQH, thank you for the service, the ambiance, the attention to detail and the overall hospitality. We will see you soon!!

The Diablo Shrimp was incredibly spicy, truly living up to its name. If you love heat, you'll definitely enjoy it. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service made the experience even better.

We also got the chicken à la diabla, and I can honestly say I've never had an à la diabla sauce that good at a restaurant. Everything tasted homemade and so comforting that it felt like leaving a friend's house after a meal his mom made. The vibe was fun, the service was great, and we were lucky enough to have the son taking care of us, which made the experience even better. Thank you for an amazing meal and great conversation. We're looking forward to creating many more memories here. This is officially our go-to spot because, quite frankly, the food here is on another level.

Came here for the burgers. Looking at the menu, there's no "cheeseburger", just a hamburger…read morevariation, extra charge for the cheese. The price totaled 13.75. The combo itself. The burger was surprisingly good, the meat patty had a clean beef taste to it, grilled nicely and was not dry. The downside is that the lettuce used on it were wilted, dark leafed, somewhat wet, and taste like they came from a premade salad bag. The lack of texture made everything into a one dimensional mush burger aside from the occasional onion sliver. The fries came fresh, but were lacking salt, they were on the crispy side. I'd recommend this burger spot to anyone looking to try something new. Perhaps the sandwiches will offer better quality than the burger.
