The lady at the counter was super nice and personable. She was easy to talk to and friendly.

I ordered: * black sesame mochi muffin - nice chew, great sesame flavor, and not too sweet * churro mochi muffin - covered in cinnamon sugar, so good. Great texture as well. * banana bread pudding - looks so ooey and gooey! I took an edge piece because I like the chewy crispy texture. Love to return when I'm back in the area.

Whatever you do, do not book an event here. Customer Service is entitled, condescending and rude…read more My daughter was planning a baby shower so we called a number of venues to get a quote. We had been to Tarocco for lunch and figured we would ask them for a quote, too. My daughter warned me that the owner is trying to be an "influencer" on Instagram and posts photos of herself in crop Tops so I should beware, but that's fine by me. We called to get a quote and had a discussion. After we gave the owner all of our information, she told us she wouldn't give us a quote unless we came in person (?!) Which is weird because this isn't how restaurants work. Typically for events restaurants will give you a quote via phone or email for the sake of convenience. We had gotten 3 quotes already from other restaurants via phone. Making us drive 45 mins just to get a quote is a total waste of time. Especially if we can't afford it. So my daughter called again, left a VM explaining we couldn't come in person due to time constraints, and again asked for a quote. No reply. We waited a few days and called again. No reply. Finally we got a voicemail from the owner saying that she didn't like my daughter's attitude ?!!! Apparently you're not allowed to ask this restaurant how much they charge for events unless you're face to face. This lady has absolutely no idea how to run a restaurant. We took our business elsewhere and recommend that you do, too.

Lava eggs are the whole reason to come, silky soft scrambled draped over rice in that tornado swirl, got the grilled pork jowl version, crispy edges on the meat with that charred smoky flavor.

Wait wasn't too bad as the two of us were called back for a seat within 15-20 min. There's not too much nearby so most people stand outside to wait for their turn. The restaurant is relatively small so it can feel a Bit cramped if you're sitting indoors. It can also feel a bit loud in the restaurant if a lot of conversations are happening. The owner (face of the restaurant) clearly works really hard to make everything run smoothly. You can see her helping with cleaning tables and checking in on customers. We enjoyed the food - the eggs were cooked well and food was seasoned well.

My teenagers devoured the empanadas and were fighting over the chimichurri (not that they give you a small portion, it was just that delicious) BTW don't worry about getting too much, get the third or fourth empanada per person because despite the empanadas being a very good size, they are absolutely delicious and you will be left wanting more. The mushroom and Nopales empanadas were absolutely divine, the carne picada was to die for. My kids said the Chorizo was super yum as well, and the peach one was chefs kiss!!! The smoothies were so yummy and refreshing, we got the Mango Banana, Strawberries & banana and the Açaí one which was perfect. The service was super friendly, and I will make sure to stop by again next time we are in town.

Pulled up on a Sunday early afternoon with a friend. I went with the freshly squeezed OJ and the breakfast combo - French toast, two eggs, and chicken apple sausage. Everything was delicious, but that French toast was easily the star of the show. The food wasn't the issue; the kitchen communication was. We ordered, settled in, and then watched every single table seated after us get their food while we sat there starving. After 45 minutes of playing the waiting game, we asked what was going on and found out our order was never even entered into the system. Heavy lapse in service. Management and our waitress apologized and comped an appetizer, which I appreciated. Mistakes happen, but sitting for almost an hour watching everyone else eat was a test of patience. I'll still be back because that French toast is top tier, but hopefully, the kitchen system gets it together next time.

It was pretty hard to pick from the menu items, but I settled on the Frittata with a side of Fennel Sausage, sourdough toast and a Arnold Palmer. Although the seating was full, thank goodness out food came out just as some seats were emptying out. It was a chilly day and the outside seating was full too. The service was without any complaints. They did their best to accommodate all patrons despite it being very crowded and crazy busy. Overall I would come back here, probably right as the doors open to be guaranteed a place to seat and not have to wait and hope for a seat. Oh the music was on point!! Put it on your list, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

My friend who rarely insists on eating at specific places insisted we come, a previous girlfriend was in the food industry and they have this place bookmarked for awhile. They described it as "healthy california food". We came on a Friday morning around 9:20 am and it was pretty crowded. You can't park right in front but there was plenty of street parking on the weekdays. Inside, its intimate and cozy and there is also a nice seating area outside with lots of dog-owners hanging out. Everything we had was great quality with choice ingredients where you could actually taste the difference. Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich: herb butter, roasted seasonal vegetables and onions, soft-cooked egg, and greens. Surprisingly filling, we were trying to share a bunch of little bites but ended up getting one each of these. It's fine as a stand alone mini breakfast! Frittata: pastured eggs, assorted vegetables, caramelized onions. WAY too good! we all love this one. Herb-Dijon Biscuit: Excellent savory biscuit, you can taste the high quality butter used.
