This was a cute and highly organized spot to get hot food and coffee. I absolutely LOVE chilaquiles. I decided to try this place due to the pictures and reviews. The staff is very nice and I got my food, to go, very quickly. I loved the fact they had more than sauce to choose from. I chose red and verde as they told me the poblano can be spicy, and other times not. Depends on the poblano. Next time I am going to try the poblano sauce and eat there. Not wise to take chilaquiles to go. Had I ate there I would've had more of a crunch. But, that's on me not them. Will definitely come back! (Oh wish they had rice but understand that may not be traditional) read more

Mi Cafesito Van Ness - Chilaquiles Rojas y Verdes - Cafes Near Me - Fresno, California

I need to be honest--we came here expecting to really enjoy it because of all the positive reviews, but unfortunately, we left pretty disappointed. The photos online don't fully represent what the place actually looks like. The restrooms were in very poor condition, to the point that I didn't even feel comfortable going inside. When we first walked in, there was no greeting or direction from staff, and it wasn't clear whether we were supposed to seat ourselves or order first. Another frustration was that there were no prices listed on the menu. It's difficult to order when you have no idea what you're spending or how much the drinks cost. I ordered a large Americano, which only came with two shots of espresso. For that size, I would have expected three or even four shots. The coffee wasn't very strong, and instead of fresh half-and-half, they only offered the small packaged creamers. My parents ordered the Number 3 and requested it on a plate. The eggs were overcooked, the beans lacked flavor, and the potatoes were not crispy at all. We also found it odd that it wasn't served with bread or even a tortilla. I ordered the Number 1 as a torta, and I would say that was probably the best thing we had. The chorizo was flavorful, and overall I'd give the torta a 7 out of 10. Unfortunately, the atmosphere and overall food quality did not meet our expectations. Based on our experience, we won't be returning. read more

My second visit here, first time was back in 2024 according to my photos. I've gotta be honest, I was a little iffy about going back today because I don't remember caring for it much the first time I went... hence that being 2 years ago. But-- bf saw a tiktok on it and wanted to try it sooo... why not? Every place deserves a second chance at least, right? First visit, I don't remember which Chilaquiles plate I got nor do I remember which drink, but, I feel like my first instinct would've been the Horchata Latte (like I ordered today) or the Churro one, which is probably a good chance. Again, I don't remember raving about the food or the drink back then, but-- I can say I know I didn't not like it, it just didn't wow me enough to come back. Today, we ordered the Chilaquiles Verdes and the Torta with Chorizo to share. He got a coke and I got that Horchata Latte. First sip of that Latte was delicious, coffee flavor was there, no Horchata really.... until a few sips down the line and it was nothing but Horchata lol sooo-- we must've done a horrible job at stirring the drink and sipped up all the coffee portion. The drink was really good today though, regardless. As for the Chilaquiles... in his words, "fire". I can't say it's the best I've ever had but it was good, satisfied us for sure. The Torta was actually pretty good as well. I have a thing about pickled Jalapeños though... i don't care for them. I'll eat them but i prefer fresh jalapeños... he didn't mind it. He said the pickled peppers reminded him of how they make it in Mexico. Overall, we enjoyed it. The staff was friendly, the restaurant was well kept, and the food was good. If this was his yelp, I'm sure he'd probably shoot them the 5 stars from today's visit. I did really enjoy it today but I'm not 100% sold... Until it becomes a need for me to go back, I'd probably stick them between a 3-4. We'll round up. read more

I'd like to update my review because I was finally able to try their chilaquiles. The mole chilaquiles were so unique and delicious! The beans were so good and yes, I know they're just beans but not everyone can make good beans! So much flavor!! A young gentleman helped us and he was so polite and attentive. I love supporting small businesses like this! I can tell your family puts their all into your craft and it's much appreciated!! read more

Came across here because I wanted coffee or to try something different. Walked in, I thought it was a cute little set up. The food smelled amazing but I was only there for coffee. Only one person ahead of us and when it was my turn to order it was vey minimal of selection for coffee drinks. I ordered two cappuccino and asked for vanilla and was told they don't carry flavors which is a bummer. It took about 10 minutes to receive our drinks. Took a few sips and I wasn't a fan. It was very bland, mediocre and didn't feel satisfied with my drink. So I will not return for the coffee here but we will be back to try the food! read more

I really enjoyed Mi Cafecito. It was a place I've wanted to try for quite some time because as a Mexican woman, my roots run deep with some Chilaquiles and Cafecito. I invited my daughter to come along because she literally likes everything I like and we SHARE everything so it's the best of both worlds. She wanted both red and green chilaquiles so we each got one and then traded half way through. That's probably the best way to do thanks honestly with anyone who is indecisive ::cough cough:: (looks in mirror). We loved our ice coffees as well. My memory isn't the best but I'm sure I got Dulce De Leche. It's entitled on my pics, check them out. Location and parking can be rough so plan ahead. Prices weren't bad. It's also self serve so you wait on yourself. I wait on myself at home so no big deal, BUT it could be a bonus down the road. Dope spot. I'll be back!! read more

We parked in the dirt field out front and walked over. There was a line out the door, but it moved quickly. We ordered chilaquiles (not on the menu) I asked for half red and half green with asada, and we also got a half chipotle, half green version. They were happy to accommodate our requests! I tried the Mexican mocha, which was delicious and not overly sweet. It came with a tiny pan dulce on top; such a nice touch! The building and interior could use a little work, but that's part of its charm. There's both indoor and outdoor seating, and the patio was beautiful. The chilaquiles were hands down the best in Fresno. I honestly felt like I was back in Mexico, eating in my grandma's kitchen. The service was fast and genuinely friendly; the person who brought out our food even took a minute to chat with us. Don't let the look of the place fool you; it's absolutely worth it! read more

Visited Mi Cafecito today and the food was BOMB. So amazing. I got the mole chilaquiles with beans on the side and added chicken. The flavor was sooo tasty. It was spicy and sweet. The chips were crunchy, the beans were great, eggs were seasoned. Amazing! I would come back again. The patio was nice, we were able to to sit outside. The woman taking the orders was very nice too. The only critique that I have is that the amount of protein and food that they give you is not much. I feel there were more eggs and beans than chilaquiles. I recall eating maybe 4 small pieces of shredded chicken. For the price of $20 with the up charge of adding protein though they would add a good amount. They are a bit skimpy but the food is great. Overall I would've appreciated a little bit more chilaquiles and definitely the protein since I paid for it. I would recommend this place. read more

For years I have searched for the best chilaquiles in Fresno and surrounding areas. How it took me so long to find this place I'll never understand. I just discovered this place a couple of weeks ago and have been back 3 additional times with it being just as amazing as the first. The staff is incredibly friendly to everyone that comes in. I've never seen a place with such a variety of options for chilaquiles and am working my way down the list. I can easily say not a single flavor is anything short of delicious. I have found a new spot that I will come back to again and again. Highly recommend. read more

Delicious place near Fresno city, a bunch of us went for a breakfast meet up. I ordered Chilaquiles and Café de la olla, which were wonderful! They even put a little concha on top of some drinks.

I had such a great experience at Mi Cafesito Van Ness! The workers were incredibly friendly and generous, making the the visit even more enjoyable. I loved the fun (4 question) quiz to help pick out a drink - I ended up with the Puppy Love, and it was absolutely delicious. One of the thing that stood out during my visit here was that there was a message on each drink. The cafe just opened last December and has quickly been my go to whenever Im in the area! The place is spacious and has a comfy vibe to it. Plus, they have a good menu to them! Definitely a place that I recommend stopping by! read more

This restaurant is very expensive and their coffee is straight sugar. They do not do the mini pan dulce on their coffees anymore either. I do not have a problem paying more for a good coffee, but it needs to actually taste like coffee. I also ordered the chilaquiles. The point of yelp if for customers to give honest reviews of their experience. read more

I had been wanting to try their breakfast for so long! They having outdoor and indoor seating. The staff was nice. It's wasn't loud inside, it was calm. Outside you'll hear cars, but it was pleasant eating outside. Our coffee was brought out quickly and a few minutes later our food too! I really liked my Mexican mocha! My boyfriend ordered the horchata latte, but it didn't taste much like horchata. We were very excited to try it too. For food we ordered chilaquiles. I ordered the chilaquiles verde plate and my boyfriend ordered the special which was red and green chilaquiles with meat. Our food wasn't hot, it was more like lukewarm. We will be back for the Mexican mocha and to try their other signature coffees. read more

I love a restaurant with an aesthetic. I have never been and hope to stop by one day as it is only 5 blocks from my house. However, I was so tired from holiday things, my husband went and got us coffee and breakfast before he left for work. I love a good hot coffee and asked my husband to bring me a hot churro latte. Hot Churro Latte- So cute with the mini conchas because if you like sweets to dip with coffee like I do, you would love this,, would be even cuter with a mini churro! Lol. I remember my days of frying churros at Taco Bell and rolling it in cinnamon sugar and that's what this coffee smells like to me. And this coffee tasted exactly like a churro. 5/5 Torta- I heard their chilaqules were delicious, but their torta also looked delicious so my husband and I got the Chorizo Torta and it was absolutely yummy. I'm a spicy girl, but currently can't eat it due to my health and even though this torta had a chile, it was not too spicy. The chorizo was cooked perfectly with the eggs, avocado was nice and soft. The bread was soft on the top and crispy on the bottom. We were very happy with it and can't wait to return. 5/5 Very satisfied with food and drink read more

Walking into Mi Cafecito (which translates to "my little coffee") just feels good. This gem, a locally-owned and family-operated café, exudes the warmth and coziness of your favorite relative's home. The tables, amply spaced, invite you to settle in and unwind. The team behind the coffee bar greets you with genuine kindness and warmth. This new(er) location offers a large front-porch style patio with plenty of seating in addition to its indoor café area. An eye-catching mural, crafted from books and encircled by the phrase "Hoy es un dia perfecto para ser feliz" ("Today is a perfect day to be happy"), offers a picturesque backdrop for those Insta-worthy moments. Mi Cafecito's coffee menu features drinks that are inspired by Mexican and Latin-American flavors like the Mazapan Latte, the Horchata Latte and the Paleta Payaso Latte as well as traditional coffee drinks like espressos, cappuccinos, americanos and drip coffee. They also offer seasonal specials, like their Valentine menu which features the Rebound (a banana mocha) and the Valentine (a cherry vanilla latte). Each drink is presented with a handwritten inspirational quote and crowned with a mini pan dulce. Breakfast at Mi Cafecito revolves around two offerings: chilaquiles and tortas. For the uninitiated, chilaquiles is a comforting concoction of lightly fried tortillas drenched in salsa or sauce, often combined with eggs and/or a choice of meat. My husband and I each ordered a different chilaquiles dish on our most recent visit, I had the salsa verde with carne asada, and he had the chipotle with chorizo and both were excellent. read more

A lovely family owned and operated restaurant that provides friendly service and food reminiscent of a home cooked meal. My husband and I went for the first time last Wednesday and ordered the chorizo torta and chilaquiles rojos. Both dishes were tasty but also lukewarm/cold in temperature which subtracted from the overall flavor. The chilaquiles were SPICY! Thankfully I can handle a spicy heat level but I wonder if I was accidentally served the 4 chiles chilaquiles. If you are cautious with the heat level, then you should definitely clarify with staff before ordering. Overall ambiance was homey with some room for improvement. Some of the curtains were hung inside out with tags showing and the interior side of the front door had several scuff marks that a simple paint job could fix. We didn't try their drinks as it was a bit late for caffeine but we have tried their drinks at their Manchester location and loved them. Plenty of seating inside with limited outdoor seating. read more

Cute lil spot! I've been meaning to try Mi Cafesito and was so excited when I heard they were opening up another spot in Tower! Came right around opening and it wasn't busy. The line did pick up after we had ordered, but it wasn't too too bad. Decided to order both drinks and food! Got the iced mexican mocha and and an horchata latte. Both drinks were yummy and had the cutest inspirational on the cups! The attention to detail was so cute and very much appreciated. As for food, I got the chilaquiles verdes and my boyfriend got the torta buen dia with chorizo. Our food was made fresh to order and came out within a couple of minutes. The food was so home-y and comforting - it definitely felt like I was getting a home cooked meal! The interior was fairly spacious and this is a great place to hang out with friends or family. Staff was very friendly! read more

I love the vibe of this place but the customer service is not up to par. I've tried to enjoy this place many times but never once have I even gotten a 'Hello' or 'Welcome in'. It makes me sad because it truly is such a special place but I can't justify spending money if there's no emphasis on creating a customer experience. read more

After coming here a few times and trying to give this place the benefit of the doubt. There's no room for accommodation. The guy taking orders most of the time is confused and doesn't know whether they even have what's on their menu. Went in at 12pm and tried to order A La Mexicana and the guy took my order but then was told by another employee next to him that they were out of it? Didn't specify what exactly they were out of, just of La Mexicana as a whole which is just scrambled eggs with mixed toppings? The previous times i've gone, I even tried to ask for some Serrano Peppers added on or on the side but was told that La Mexicana is a premade base and everything else is topped on. It's very confusing, is the food premade or freshly made? Were they out of eggs specifically or just the toppings? Was very confusing due to the majority of their dishes are made with eggs and it was still pretty early in the day and there were zero customers. Quite honestly seems like the people in there just didn't want to work, which is a shame since their food is pretty good. read more

This place is truly a gem that this area desperately needed. The coffee is fantastic and the service is absolutely wonderful. The outside is just as cute as the inside.

I came in for the coffee! Thoght it was cute and lil pastry at the top! To find out they don't do that at the moment, since the vendor has not come though! Then decided to try chilaquiles and they had ran out of green salsa, but the owner was sonsweet to make the green salsa fresh at the moment! They where so nice and friendly. The chilaquiles where good i just don't like they don't give a carne asada on the side. They give you little pieces of chopped asada! Not the traditional chilaquiles. They don't add onions you have to ask for them. I ordered rompope latte and was not strong for me enough! Hopefully they get their pastries back on the coffees and a change their meat to real asada on the side, instead of diceing it. read more

Food and coffee is good. I usually order the mole chilaquiles but I like my mole spicy not sweet so I order a side of the 4chiles salsa to top them off. Only issue is they need to update their hours.

That's the only reason they were given 3 stars because it's disappointing arriving and they're not open when their business hours say they will be. read more

I stopped by this local spot for an iced coffee, it's an older property converted to a coffee shop and seems like a good place to get work done. Little covered porch patio and spacious interior. I ordered a small iced Duvalin latte, I added almond milk and asked for it to be less sweet, which they were happy to accommodate. My drink was huge the size of a large at most places I paid around $8 so it's not on the inexpensive side but it was pretty good! I'd go back to try their chilaquiles I just didn't have much time and I'd likely split my coffee in the future. I did appreciate that it was tasty but not overly sweet! Love checking out local coffee shops and this one is on my route to one of my work locations so I'll be back! read more
