I've been a customer here for about 10 years now and the menu has always been simple but fantastic. Flavors are great. Cafe de olla is still a must. If you're still in the fence about trying them out, don't wait. Come have a delicious breakfast with a hot cup of coffee. read more

Stopped by for breakfast after getting car serviced in Cerritos. My wife saw it on Yelp. Said let's support a local business and vet. There were only 2 other people here. So walked in, sat right down. The waiter, think he's the owner, seems bothered e live he doesn't want to be there. Line he's forced to be somewhere where he doesn't want to be. Maybe he was just having a bad day. Who knows? My wife had been wanting French toast. She ordered the banana pecan pancakes. I ordered the chorizo wet breakfast burrito. All in all, it was Just OK. To be honest, I've had much better breakfast at home. I mean, it could be worse. 5 stars for the presentation. Looks amazing. But all in all, just ok. read more

No Toro Cafe is a great breakfast spot with a cool military-themed atmosphere that gives it a lot of character. The place feels welcoming and has a strong local, community feel. The chilaquiles are a must-try -- flavorful, perfectly cooked, and very filling. You can tell everything is made with care, and the portions are solid. Pair it with their coffee and you're set for the morning. Service is friendly and attentive, and the overall experience makes this place stand out from your typical breakfast joint. Definitely worth stopping by if you're looking for a hearty breakfast with personality. Highly recommend! read more

Came here with my niece for our little breakfast spot to try out this past Saturday morning. She got the pancake special, I ordered the waffle special, and we shared a side of potatoes. So, so, so good. Thank you everyone, especially the lady chef who was hanging all with gusto. We sat next to her and even though she was shielded, I coukd still see the griddle, she was non stop, and in a beautiful zone. Will be back :) read more

After making a Sam Woo run, I felt the hankering for a breakfast burrito. NTC is a cozy cafe located in a strip mall. Today, I ordered the Gunner Breakfast Burrito with bacon and sauce on the side. Really good tasting burrito. They use a home styled potato. Included were a chili verde sauce, spicy red sauce and something with sour cream. All 3 were good with the burrito. Service was very friendly. read more

The food here is good not great. The cafe de olla is great. Unfortunately when you get coffee you get only two little creamers one French vanilla and one original. The chilaquiles are always crisp but the steak is chewy and the salsa is very bland. The bacon strips are tiny and overall not good for the price. It's not the cleanest place. You can see dust on the base boards and all over the restroom. The service here is also subpar. The servers are courteous but not friendly. Overall this place is good. read more

Really good chilaquiles if you are in the area. The only thing I wish they had on them was beans, but still really good without them. The Cafe de olla was also delicious. read more

We came here for the first time on a Saturday morning and was surprised there was no line; we got seated right away in the bake. Veteran-owned place with a lot of military decor and overall theme. He got the chilaquiles and I got the breakfast sandwich. Both were good, but nothing that knocked our socks off. Would definitely come back to try something else on the menu-- especially if there's no line! read more

Arrived and seatings appear to be available but there was still a waiting period and people that were seated didn't even have menus in hand until minutes later. So we decided to go to Off street Cafe wait time 10mn immediately got served with beverages menus on the table and shortly had our server taking our order. read more

We hadn't been here in a while but this place continues to be great. We arrived and we were promptly seated, we order the cafe de olla and the coffee had a great flavor. My mom asked for a hotter cup and they happy to bring her another cup. Both of our dishes were delicious the chilaquiles salsa was tasty and the chips were crunchy. I have to highlight their meat as it was very soft and it actually came medium rare as ordered. They came and refilled our coffee and checked in on us multiple times. A plus was that they were playing the Sunday football games on their tv. read more

We ordered the steak chilaquiles and the pecan banana pancakes - both were so delicious! The portions were just right, and we still split everything to share.

No Toro Cafe is Veteran owned and operated. Canvas prints of service members adorn the walls. Today, the owner (and wonderful friend) Yvonne Magaña accepted a print of my son Lt. Nicolas Leiva for her restaurant. I urge everyone local to support this place, which features many menu items reminiscent of a good mess tent or hall. My specialty favorites, however, are the café de olla (Mexican coffee with cinnamon) and French toast with bananas and pecans. read more

Food was delicious!!! My husband and I tried the chilaquiles with steak and the wet burrito. Both dishes were delicious. I wasn't as satisfied with the service, it was just mediocre. Regardless, I would 10/10 recommend this spot for breakfast. read more

If I were rating the theme, the military service, and the detail they put into the place itself, it would be 5 stars. I drove out from LA to finally try this place. They seem overwhelmed by balance the restaurant and family stuff at the same time. Several of us waited to even be greeted. There seems to be plenty of staff but the food was completely undercooked. It was rushed out. I couldn't eat the potatoes, they were legit not cooked enough. I really hope this was a bad day bc this vet deserves to have their dream be successful. I recommend a new cooking staff, childcare (the very kind eager little boy touched all over my silverware and sneezed on me ). Great menu, great place, lots of love BUT service & food are what we pay for and that was maybe 2 stars, I genuinely feel like I donated money cause I def didn't eat much of my meal. read more

I gave it a three, because it was as average on everything as I've ever experienced, food,service, general atmosphere. Nothing bad, but nothing really good either. Wouldn't have reviewed, but prompted by YELP. read more

I chose this cafe due to the good reviews and wanting to support locally owned businesses. Sadly, it was a bad experience all around. I wasn't greeted when I entered. I came in around noon and the looks I got from the employees made me feel unwelcomed. As if they were tired of working all morning and annoyed they still had customers to serve. I ordered potato chilaquiles and my friend ordered a breakfast sandwich that came with potatoes. All the potatoes were undercooked and slightly firm. We weren't able to eat them unfortunately. The cafe de olla was tiny and lukewarm. I paid using the portable ATM box and requested a receipt. The machine said someone would bring it to me but no one came and I felt completely ignored. No greeting, bad service and mediocre food, topped off with no acknowledgment of my patronage at the end was such a horrible experience. Not recommended. read more

I had been wanting to try this place for a while since it is so close to me and I saw some Yelp friends post about it. Location- small strip mall that also has Belly Bombz and TJs Sandwiches; no problem finding close, free parking; inside is small and basic looking Staff- we got a younger guy who was a bit timid and hard to hear; food came out in a reasonable time Food- the food was nothing special and the serving size was noticeably small (esp. the potatoes) *convenient since it is maybe 2 miles from our house but we won't be returning...there are just so many other places to choose from that provide a better deal for your $ read more

The breakfast is very clean and yummy I've been here a handful of times and it's pretty consistent. My only complaints are that the customer service is ok not great but ok. The times I've came in to grab some breakfast I've encountered two different servers and aren't genuinely nice. It's almost a dry sarcastic fake nice . Also it's been more than once I'm over charged so always double check your receipt. And there has been times I've called to order for pick up and they are terrible at answering the phone . Even when not busy ! I know because call I've called 5 minutes away and walk in theirs like one customer eating in . Anyway I love the food so I keep Coming back read more

No Toro Cafe - Chesty Chorizo Burrito - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Artesia, California

No Toro Cafe is a small little kitchen that serves up some surprisingly good breakfast. I say surprising because this place is a hole-in-the-wall that I've overlooked for years, until my friend suggested we brunch here. We came on a Sunday at 11 am and were in and out pretty quick - everything from the waitlist to the time it took our orders to come out moved fast. The cafe was small but clean, service was friendly and efficient, and the food was enjoyable. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and substituted the bacon for some veggies. The sandwich was good; not great but no real complaints. So if you're looking for a spot to sit down for some breakfast but don't have quite enough time on your hands to go to one of those bigger brunch restaurants with long lines, then No Toro Cafe is your answer. Plus it's pretty affordable, so there's that. read more

No Toro Cafe - Breakfast sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Artesia, California

On this Father's Day my gf and I wanted to get breakfast before the family came over. Every place we looked up was full. Luckily we found No Toro Café. They have a lot of parking around this time, noon, and the people inside were super nice! Very friendly and welcoming. I love places like that. The ambiance of the place felt very 'homie'. I ordered buttermilk pancakes with over medium eggs and bacon. The eggs and bacon were perfect! The pancakes were also good but didn't really taste like buttermilk pancakes. Seems like they added cinnamon to their mix and the cakes were a little under cooked. I'd come back and maybe try something else on their menu. Perhaps the breakfast sandwich?? Over all this place gets a solid 4 in my book. Ambiance was nice. Eggs and bacon were really good too. Minus the slightly undercooked cakes. But hey, that was my experience. Try it! read more

AMAZING!! The food was absolutely delicious. It was so good we wanted to order more. The food was flavorsome and mouthwatering. I've been wanting to try this place for a while and honestly I'm upset I didn't try it sooner. The setup inside is super cute. Veteran owned which is a plus. Their service was amazing and food came out pretty fast (altho considering the time we were the only ones in). My mother loved the café de olla and said she would come back just for the coffee. The raspberry lemonade and orange juice were good but they weren't fresh. The fresh toast were so flavorful and so were the chilaquiles. The chilaquiles weren't spicy which I loved because I cant eat any type of spice. The green salsa they add on top had a tiny bit of spice though. I definitely recommend coming here to try it because I know we are! read more

I have had friends recommend this place to me and after reading the Yelp reviews decided to give it a go. It's incredible how hit or miss this place is based on the reviews. I gave this place a shot hoping for the pluses that I was reading in all the reviews and was disappointed. I arrived around 12:30 with the family today (about one hour before they closed) and was seated immediately. I ordered the French toast with bananas and chocolate chips, bacon, and two eggs over easy. The missus ordered the chilaquiles (vegetarian), and my kiddo ordered a sandwich (turkey and bacon) with fries. Chilaquiles came out first. The missus was disappointed as it was very dry and there was no salsa on it. Fortunately, there was a bottle of salsa at the table, but even then, it was a miss. She also got the food way before the rest of us. About five minutes later, I get the two eggs and the bacon (not the French toast yet). The eggs were over well and the bacon was bacon. After I was done with the eggs and the bacon, 3-4 minutes later, the French toast came out. The French toast was, at best, average. Nothing made it stand out too much. That's about 8-9 minutes now after the missus got her plate and I got my food. My kiddo didn't get her food for another 3 minutes after I got my French toast, which I found odd, as it should have been the quickest to make in my opinion. My kiddo ate it all and didn't complain. I can't tell you how it tasted, just know it took 15+ minutes to get. I was really hoping for the best, but I am disappointed. read more

Love the chilaquiles! Service is always on point. This is just a perfect place to enjoy a delicious breakfast.

The restaurant looked clean when you first walked in. Friendly staff. However, my husband went to the restroom where he passed by a dead roach on the floor and found a live baby one in the restroom. He came back and told me. I could see the roach on the floor from our table. We then got our food. I took 2 bites before I saw another baby roach crawling on the wall near us. I told the waitress, and she told us we didn't have to pay for our food which we appreciate, but we will not be going back. read more

My daughter and I were in the area, we decided to give this place a shot, I am all in for small business. There was one cook and one waitress, I ordered the chilaquiles and my daughter ordered a chocolate chip pancake, eggs and bacon. My chilaquiles were tasteless, I didn't think they came with any sauce. I asked for some extra sauce, still tasteless, I ate the eggs, I had soy chorizo with it. When I talked to the waitress, she said there was no management and she can only give me $4 off for the tasteless chilaquiles, I told her it was fine but I was never coming back there. I am in the industry, bad business practice. I won't recommend this place for breakfast. read more

Super cute and small cafe with a simple, yet well thought out menu. They serve breakfast, brunch, lunch. The Cafe de Oro is the BEST. Yummy, sweet, and cinnamony. The cafe has several small and simple tables and a window counter. Comfy chairs, hot coffee, good service and the place is a woman Veteran-owned place! The memorabilia is a great witness to their support and love for our country. read more

Nope. That's it: Nope. Let me clarify...if you're looking for white washed Mexican food....then this place is for you. If you're looking for anything remotely authentic, this ain't it. Chilaquiles were literally bagged chips with some watery sorry excuse of a tomato sauce sprinkled on top. For about $5 bucks more they'll throw in 3- 5 small pieces of meat on top and call it Steak chilaquiles. But hey, I guess it's our fault for thinking Artesia would have anything remotely authentic Mexican. Should've stuck with an omelette or something. read more

This local eatery has a nice aesthetic and it's cool that service personnel own it - I support our military personnel to the fullest. I love the Cafe de Olla here, but the breakfast burritos leave a lot to be desired. There is entirely too much egg and not enough of the other ingredients inside the burrito. I would like a better balance of ingredient ratios. I ordered and pay for a sausage and chorizo breakfast burrito and I barely got any of the other ingredients; although I paid an extra $3 bucks for the chorizo!!! Now if you're going to charge me extra for something, I believe it's only reasonable that it would be included in the product that I purchased... Idk - I'm a little disappointed in my experience today... I'm out... read more

Food services was very slow. It was not busy and it took 45 minutes for us to get our food. There was a couple who sat down and ordered after us and got their food way before us.
