Mini Cafe is a little place hidden next to the Fling. They have inside seating and a couple tables outside. I ordered a Chorizo breakfast burrito and coffee. You order and pay at the register and they bring the food to you. I enjoyed my burrito. Their salsa was very good too. The employees are friendly. They were always checking to see if I wanted more coffee. I would come back. read more

What they lack in ambience they make up for in price, service and overall quality of food. Our servers were very sweet. Many regulars came in and ordered their "usual" which was sweet to see. Only 9$ for a good burrito which is hard to beat with today's prices. read more

I should have gone with the Yelp reviews and ordered the chilaquiles. I, instead, ordered what I always order: over easy eggs and sausage ($11.99). Here, they serve them with Chef Mario's famous homestyle potatoes and toast. My sourdough toast came with the kind of butter that's already softened and has a whipped texture. I appreciated that little detail. My breakfast, on the other hand, was very mid if not kinda not good. The breakfast potatoes were soft and could have used a little more grill time. And the sausage patties were most likely of the frozen sort. The whole entree was very ho hum. Mini Cafe is mini. It feels a bit lived in and had the breakfast platter been average, the whole experience would be fine. I like a good, simple breakfast platter, and this fell a little short. I'd come back if I accidentally got very drunk next door and needed a little something to sober me up. read more

Mini Cafe - Breakfast burrito - Mexican Near Me - Santa Ana, California

Amazing casual mexican and american food! It's a little hole in the wall, but everyone here working is so kind and the food tastes homemade, not commercialized. And everything came out so fast! I can't wait to come back here, I highly recommend the green chilaquiles. read more

Their breakfast burritos are AMAZING! I wish they were open later when I have the craving for a breakfast burrito for dinner but otherwise I have no qualms! Potatoes inside and your choice of meat (or none for my veggie friends) and amazing salsa! YUMMM! read more

Amazing spot. Saw a review saying they'd gotten the steak nachos for 15 years straight, and I see why. The woman working the register was incredibly kind, and walking in I saw two working dudes scarfing food down (always a good sign). The breakfast burrito was affordable and totally filled, zero complaints. Salsa was very flavorful, steak nachos out of this world. read more

Mini Cafe is that hidden gem next to The Fling that always hits. Whether you're hungover, heartbroken, or just need a reason to believe in life again--this place delivers. The breakfast burritos are something else. Loaded with fluffy eggs, crispy bacon, and those perfectly seasoned potatoes inside that feel like they were made by someone who really cares. The whole thing is wrapped up like a warm hug from your abuelita if your abuelita had a secret talent for curing hangovers and regret. I've heard these burritos cure heartbreak, hangovers, cancer, and STDs. Can't confirm... but I'm still standing. Service is fast, food's always hot, and the vibe is pure comfort. I stumble in from The Fling barely functioning, and walk out feeling reborn. This isn't just food it's breakfast therapy wrapped in a tortilla and kissed by abuelita-level love. read more

My husband had ordered a torta and it was ok the French toast was small portioned and with the added 3 pieces of bacon was not worth the extra 7 dollars. The basic pancakes and eggs were good but who can go wrong. The total amount for 5 was about 75 which is up there, so not good if you're in a budget. The small place looks very dated and old but no charm. Service was good but you order at the window and then sit yourself. read more

It's a no frills reasonable little diner. I get the same thing most of the time, huevos rancheros. Eggs are cooked perfect, beans are good but the potatoes are excellent. There's just a touch of green sauce so there's not much rancheros in the huevos but it's still worth it. read more

This place has really excelled for the better, I discovered this place years ago , since then they have improved 100% , food is still great, excellent service, prices , no fancy place to eat But Great food very convenient ! Thank you ! read more

How have I never heard of this place before now?! SO GOOD!! Had the chilaquiles and they were amazing! I inhaled them before taking a picture, sorry. Will definitely be back. read more

So my fiancé brought me here a couple of months ago and I was very upset with him for gatekeeping this place from me! There isn't anything about Mini Cafe that I don't like. The staff is super friendly- and the food is amazingly priced for how good it is. I always get the Asada Tacos and when we come for breakfast I get the chorizo and eggs- I will be trying the chilaquiles next. The place is small and I could see if it was crowded it might be a tight fit but that does not take away from the pros. I was sad they got rid of their Strawberry Fanta but I'll live! lol we ate there today and I already can't wait to go back! read more

Upon entering, you'll realize how small the place is and you'll get a sense of how much it hasn't changed at all. But that's what's so charming about Mini Cafe. This quaint, little place truly is a hole in the wall. The first time I tried their food, I ordered takeout. I was surprised by how cheap the food was compared to other breakfast places nowadays. The majority of their items were under $10 which made me wonder about the portions as well as the taste, but I'm happy to report that it was really good. Not the most flavorful food I've had but it definitely wasn't bad and wasn't overly salty or anything. I didn't realize till I got to work that the chilaquiles doesn't come with meat so that was a bit of a disappointment but I didn't mind since the food itself was tasty on its own too. The second time, we actually dined in. I ordered the chilaquiles again (this time I asked if they could add chorizo) and my gf got their french toast combo. We also ordered two coffees that were a huge disappointment to us. It tasted nothing like coffee and tasted more like sugar water than anything. We asked the cashier if she could brew us another cup just in case, and it ended up tasting the same - watered down. Reluctantly, I asked if we could exchange the coffees for their orange juice instead since they're the same price, and the cashier obliged. Thankfully, the orange juice was a lot better - you could tell it was fresh-squeezed. My gf enjoyed her french toast and I was incredibly happy with the chorizo with my chilaquiles; it definitely added to the taste. Will be coming back here to try more items. read more

Terrible, I should have known better looking at the place beat down. I went based off some great reviews, huge disappointment. The portions didn't match the price, the breakfast burrito was the worst out of the 3 items ordered. It was Taco Bell size priced at almost $10, the filling was burnt and salty. The chilaquiles plate if anything was passable but would never come back. The beans were hardly there and nothing was added to make the taste better, no onions, sour cream or any topping. The breakfast plate came within sad overcooked scrambled eggs, one sad sausage patty and mediocre pancakes. Wish I would have gone to McDonald's the breakfast is cheaper, fresher and better served. Save yourself time and money not worth it. Paid 32.00 for food gone to waste read more

Pot roast & roasted chicken. Post roast needs to get better carrots.. these tasted like the large ones for horses; pineapple upside down muffin dry needed whipped cream or ice cream. The chicken was good as were the mashed potatoes and green beans. Great service from DoorDash!! read more

We love this mom and pop place! The Chilaquiles are the BEST! If you love crunchy and perfectly made sauces with the best beans, you must try them. Also the Chorizo burrito is excellent as well. Plus the service is great!! read more

Chilaquiles I definitely don't recommend this place , their food is poorly cooked ! Burnt dry unseasoned potatoes , a piece of egg .. All they did was poor their unseasoned salsa over some stale chips !!! That's not how you make chilaquiles .. last but not least they served my COKE in a coffee cup wtf read more

The food is very good and it's not greasy. They are fast service. It is very clean to eat. It's a cozy place to eat.

I looked at Yelp and decided to try this place out as I live close to it. This is the definition of a hole in the wall. Nestled deep in a corner of the shopping center I walked in and immediately knew it was a family operation. The inside is small and a little outdated but that comforted me to know the food would be good. I ordered chicken enchiladas and a steak taco. The steak in the taco was super juicy. Nice and simple but the meat was well cooked which made it good. The enchiladas almost reminded me of suizas and the way my parents used to make them. I will be back, it felt Ike having a really good home cooked meal. read more

Kinda gross and dirty restaurant, I went ahead and ordered because a friend said the food was good. Carne Asada tacos had no flavor. Chilaquiles are bland. Even my 6 yr old said his school made better food for lunch. Staff was friendly enough but kinda ruff like the shape of the restaurant. read more

Loved them the first time around. Second time I had really bad food poisoning, throwing up six times ):

Delicious food, great service, the owners are loved by their customers. Great experience every visit.

We came for a quick breakfast, and I'm so happy we did! The girls at the front counter were so sweet & had wonderful customer service skills. I ordered the huevos rancheros and my daughter got a side of eggs and potatoes with sourdough toast, with an apple and an orange juice for us to drink. Everything came up to $24, and we enjoyed it. The cafe itself looks like a small hole in the wall, which I loved. Nothing fancy, but perfect for a good meal and nice staff to serve you. Will come back if we are in the area, thanks mini cafe! read more

Hidden gem! Great food in a low key location. Get the breakfast burrito with a short stack on the side. IYKYK read more

good food and nice workers, but noticed a cockroach crawling around the dining room! WTF!

The service is terrible, they brought me the wrong food and wanted to argue about it instead of fix the problem.

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent prices! Don't be fooled by the location - Mini Cafe may be tucked away in the corner, but their food is TOP NOTCH and greater than 5 stars. So much flavor in every dish, but more importantly, the food here is made with love. Come for the food, come back for more food and quality, friendly service. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, but I recommend their breakfast burrito with their signature salsa on the side. It won't disappoint. Make sure to say hi to the owner, Mario, while you're here. He'll put a smile on your face that will last you the whole day (so will the burrito). read more

Flavorless. If I could give zero stars I would. Ordered an omelet and it wasn't. There was no filliing or cheese, it was an egg with ham and bellpepper and it was flattened out in a weird way. Aside from their strange take on an omelet, it had absolutely no flavor. Also ordered pancakes and syrup tastes like oil, so my entire stack was ruined. Coffee was no good either. Really wish I had at least one good thing so my breakfast hadn't been completely ruined read more

I used to frequent Mini Cafe when I lived in Tustin, I fondly remember ordering their steak nachos which were awesome. However I went back a few weeks ago for breakfast and can't say it was my favorite. // The chorizo bfast burrito was ok, didn't have much flavor considering how much food was in - however they give you a side of some pretty good salsa (I also added salt & pepper) //The french toast? Bleh, I can make better french toast at my house, made on thin normal pieces of bread, not like texas toast or anything. - no flavor (syrup & butter helped heaps!) The prices are super cheap though! I've become so accustomed to paying @ least $10 per plate in LA, but here you can snag 2 bfast meals for about $10. I'm not itching to come back here unfortunately. Lots of parking, in the corner of a shopping plaza, cheap prices, family restaurant, indoor seating only. read more
