    Mac n Farmhouse Mac & Cheese
    Tiffany T.

    Suchhh a good little family owned hole in the wall spot!! A little hard to find since it's in the back of a spa, but omg, I was blown away. Everything was so good. They make their spices and a bunch of other stuff in house, so the flavors are so unique and really stand out. Owners are so sweet and easy to talk to! Food came out pretty fast as well. They do drip coffee but if they ever decided to have an espresso machine I would be so happy!! Either way, I'll definitely be back!

    We had such a wonderful experience here! It was a little tricky to find at first but well worth the search! The restaurant is located within the salon building. The couple that owns it is so kind and the food is amazing to say the least. Even one the things that I didn't expect to like, I ended up loving (the tomato jam is to die for)! We will definitely be coming back, I can't wait to try more things from their menu.

    OHP burrito, so flavorful!
    Varinia R.

    Wow, love this little cafe that's tucked inside of a hair salon! I've had this place bookmarked for so long and when my oldest daughter told me she stopped by and loved it, I knew I had to go. I had the OHP burrito with bacon and it was packed with flavor and love the cilantro lime sauce that comes on the side. I want like 2 of those since the burrito is pretty big! When you walk in, you just let the receptionist know you're going to the cafe and you walk towards the back and it's on the right hand side. I believe if you're already there for a salon appointment and you order from the cafe, you get a discount because the lady taking my order asked me if I was there for an appointment. There's so many other items I want to come back and try. Everything is made fresh to order, so it can take a little while to get your order. But it's so worth it because it comes out hot and delicious. Our Happy Place Cafe truly lives up to its name.

    Strawberry Lemonade

    Great place to sit with your significant other and enjoy a chicken pesto panini. Marea was great and provided great service. Mark made the paninis with love and we could taste it. The Mac n Cheese was good as well with a little bit of their home made chili powder on top. Come and support this business. You won't regret it. We will be back again. The strawberry lemonade was tarty and delicious.

    I don't think I've ever used the words "HIDDEN GEM" in my life but if I've ever been to a "hidden gem", this is it! I was meeting a friend for lunch and I left the location up to her. She chose a cute little café, with really good reviews that also happened to be located inside of a hair salon... I am not going to lie, I thought that was kind of odd... not odd in the sense that there was a café inside of a hair salon (because well that would be amazing if I was a customer there and could get this delicious food anytime I was getting my hair done) but I thought it was odd that we were going to this cafe from the outside in, if that makes sense? (which by the way we found out later was NOT odd. The lady sitting next to us found the café the same way we did (yelp of course) and just comes in (as a non-customer to the salon) for lunch. She actually comes so often, they consider her a regular. I also spoke with another lady who, although she DOES get her hair done at the salon, she had just come in that day to pick up lunch! But don't get me wrong, the people in the salon are ordering as well. I'm not kidding when I say for the hour or so we were sitting there l, the owner never stopped. Orders were coming in continuously and she so graciously would deliver them to the clients chair!!! That's AMAZING, especially because sometimes these hair services can take hours (IYKYK) Can't wait to go back and try something new. (I tend to be somewhat of a conservative eater as far as spice and texture and the mingling of flavors) so I went pretty standard with the turkey, bacon, provolone on a croissant (which was absolutely delicious). My friend got the spiced beet bowl and there was not a single crumb left in that bowl! This place was a 10/10 for great food & drinks, GREAT customer service and a super cool vibe!

    Chicken Cranberry Salad-DELISH!
    Kristin G.

    Impeccable service, delicious food and clean cafe. Couldn't ask for anything better on a solo lunch out. I enjoyed the chicken cranberry salad which was delicious and hit the spot. Everything on the menu looked so good. I'll definitely be back again!

    Iced coffee from our happy place

    We almost missed Our Happy Place because we didn't realize it was inside Alexander's Salon & Spa, but I'm so glad we took the time to investigate further--what a hidden gem! I've had my fair share of breakfast burritos over the years, but nothing comes close to the one I had here. The flavors were bold, the ingredients fresh, and the sauce? Absolutely next-level. Just the right amount of spice to wake up your taste buds without overpowering the dish. Mark and Marea are absolutely killing it! If you're looking for an incredible breakfast in a cozy, welcoming spot, this is the place to be. Don't sleep on this one--you'll regret it!

    Great stuff here!

    I couldn't resist stopping for a soy chorizo burrito at my favorite spot. I can't believe that it is better than authentic chorizo-but it is! These guys are the best and the service is awesome even if the ambiance isn't as it is a counter at my favorite beard groomer.

    Definitely a happy place!

    Delicious food, just like the reviews states. Such a unique spot in the back of a salon. Cool ambiance. Owners were super friendly and service was fantastic. Seating is at the bar, probably about 10 seats. We went Saturday at 10 and had the place to ourselves. Others came and ordered takeout or coffee. Highly recommend! Would go again! Worth the 30-minute drive from OC.

    I ordered the octopus and a steak burrito via Grubhub around 2pm on Cinco de Mayo…read more It took a bit longer than predicted but it was worth the wait. The octopus was tender and delicious with a heat that built up slowly. The bed of greens was a little over dressed but delicious. The burrito was very good. It sat for a bit while I ate the octopus so it got a little soggy. It had a lot of steak much to my surprise. The presentation of both dishes was exceptional. In my experience, Corona doesn't have many restaurants that produce high quality food and deliver. I'm glad to have discovered Maiz Cocina. I'll be back.

The bartender took our drink order, and we received chips and salsa, which were very good. However, the bartender seemed a bit distracted, forgot about us, even though it wasn't a busy night. We decided to give it another chance since so many people seem to enjoy this place. We visited again, and we ordered a few drinks, received chips and salsa, then placed our food order. We waited for a bit and ordered a few more drinks. Unfortunately, after waiting about an hour, we never received our meal or any update on its status. We eventually decided to close out our bill. At that point, we noticed we had been charged for the meal we never received, as well as drinks that were not served. When we brought this to the bartender's attention, they raised their voice and told us we were wrong, which caught us by surprise. I understand that things can get busy, but a lack of communication and being spoken to disrespectfully is unacceptable. A simple check-in or update would have made a big difference. Based on this experience, we're unlikely to return. We really wanted this to work, but maybe you had to be regular customer to get better service?! We tried, but this place is a solid No for us.

Honestly, from service to portion to food Quality, across the board everything was fantastic. Prices are fairly standard nothing exorbitant. The portions are great. I ordered the fried calamari which might've been the most tender and fresh calamari I think I've ever tasted. My wife had the Caprese salad, which was really fresh and well done. For the main meal, I had crab stuffed ravioli, and my wife had the steak beef bowl, which was enormous and could easily be shared with two people. The ravioli was excellent. The sauce was excellent. The flavor and the subtle sweetness of the crab shined through. My wife's steak bowl was also amazing. The steak was melt in your mouth tender. A very subtle heat in the seasoning from red chili, I believe. Chefs kiss. Our server was amazing and I feel horrible for not remembering her name, the woman who was working the front area was helpful and knowledgeable and just very welcoming. A special bonus was the old school 50s and 60s music. My mom would have loved it. This place is a definite guarantee for anyone who enjoys great quality food. We will be there again. I would've taken pictures of the food, but I am an absolute glutton and finished it...lol
