Banana Strawberry Licuado and Pork Belly Benedict

Anne A.

The food was incredible - make sure to try the strawberry banana licuado! Also Sam M. took SUCH good care of us

Ben J.

Immediate 5 stars after reading that their Cafe de olla was UNLIMITED! When I first moved to California I never heard of Cafe de olla until my co-worker brought it homemade and it changed my life and added a new coffee drink on my rotation! My friend and I were looking for a cute like brunch spot to catch up at and decided on Pradera Brunch since it's right next to Northgate! The interior of the restaurant was beautiful and service was amazing. At first we were seated inside, but my friend started to have a migraine a few minutes after being seated and the serve was very accommodating and was ok moving us to the patio seating. Both of us were wanting to try a lot of things and instead of getting an entree each we decided to share their Burrito Mojado with Sausage and also shared their Fresas Con crema waffles! Pro Tip: We asked for the red and green salsa to be put on the side so we both could adjust how much we wanted on our burrito and also try both salsas instead of one. Both were amazing and I would suggest getting both! The burrito mojado was really good! I enjoyed all the flared inside the burrito and they didn't skip out on any fillings! Their Fresas con crema was the star of the show! It was light and not too sweet, the fresh strawberries truly some balance to it! Will be bringing back more friends here to break fast and enjoy great food!

Awesomely delicious is what I'd have to say to describe this place. The decor is vibrant and its sandwich on the side it Northgate. The server was incredibly nice and knowledgeable. I ended up getting the Tres leches French toast, country potatoes, and strawberry milkshake. The tres leches French toast was amazing! It was flavorful and sweet and hit all the right notes of what you'd want as a brunch food. The country potatoes filled the more savory palette to complement the sweetness of the French toast. Lastly the strawberry milkshake tasted delicious and not at all artificial. I love the presentation as it's in a bag which makes it perfect to take to-go. Overall, I would definitely come back for good food, service, and overall ambiance!

From the moment you walk up to this place, it already feels like an experience rather than just a meal. Tucked in right next to Northgate you might miss it at first! The atmosphere is beautiful with warm lighting, natural wood tables, woven hanging lamps, soft pink floral décor, and a modern indoor-outdoor layout that somehow feels both trendy and cozy at the same time. If you sit outside the hanging lamps provide warmth. The cherry blossom tree and artistic wall accents give it a relaxing, almost tropical café vibe. The service was just as impressive as the décor. Everyone was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind from the moment we arrived. Food and drinks came out fast; the presentation and aroma had us ready to eat. The staff stayed on top of refills and checked in often without being intrusive, which made the whole experience feel smooth and comfortable. The food itself was yummy. The breakfast skillet was hearty and flavorful with perfectly cooked egg whites, crispy potatoes, melted cheese, peppers, and juicy sausage links. It felt like elevated comfort food, simple breakfast flavors done really well. The Lengua en su Jugo (stew) dish was rich, savory, and packed with flavor. The onion, radish, lime and cilantro topped it off perfectly; adding texture and freshness. The grilled pork belly was another standout. It had that perfect caramelized sear on the outside while still staying tender and juicy inside. You could tell it was cooked carefully because the texture was spot on and the flavor was bold without being overwhelming. To drink we the chai latte which was smooth and creamy, beautifully presented, and even had a fun surprise hidden at the bottom -- a little cow figure inside the cup. That tiny detail honestly tied the whole restaurant theme together. We also tried the Mocha Chocolate Abuelita Frappe with oat milk (oat milk costs extra, FYI), completely over the top in the best way possible! Loaded with whipped cream, chocolate drizzle, a Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolate and a wafer. It looked like a dessert masterpiece and tasted just as good! Overall, this restaurant nails every category: atmosphere, presentation, flavor, creativity, and service. It's the kind of place that works well for a brunch date or brunch with girlfriends!

Clarisse T.

pretty good brunch place! all the dishes we ordered were pretty tasty and our server alberto was excellent!!! i only wish it wasn't so windy that day cuz the queso fundido got hard pretty fast :/ breakfast burrito was huge and very flavorful as was the waffles! all in all, would def return again!

Giselle H.

Very lovely service, great food, and such great music!!! Will be back to try more food!

Daisy T.

Came here in the morning, so it wasn't busy and got seated right away. Our waitress was nice and accommodating. We ordered the enchiladas suizas, lengua en su jugo, side of pork belly, and a strawberry banana licuado. Everything was delicious! Would definitely come back here and try a few other things. The decor was so nice, inside and outside.

Young N.

A really good breakfast spot with a mix of Mexican and American dishes. The interior is adorable. They are connected to the Northgate market in case you have a hard time finding it. Dishes we ordered were chilaquiles with grilled chicken, pork belly eggs Benedict, and a single pancake. Chilaquiles was what my husband ordered and he said it was the best he's had. I ordered the pork belly Benedict, something I've never had before and it was delicious. The hollandaise sauce was the best I've tasted and the pork belly was marinated in shoyu. it paired sooo well with the eggs Benedict. I loved this dish. The only critique would be that the pork belly was slightly tough. However, flavors were perfect. The pancake was good too but nothing out of the ordinary. I couldn't finish it and saved half for the next day. They were pretty busy but it seemed sufficiently staffed. However, Service was nice and polite but a bit slow. Prices pretty normal for the area ... not too cheap but not too outrageous either. Overall we are definitely coming back.

Sergio M.

Enfrijoladas were really good. The chorizo very good and not greasy at all.Cafe de Olla spot on! Chocomil en bolsa was so good.

Allister D.

I came here with my family last Friday for brunch and we had a decent time. I can tell this place gets packed because of the style of this eatery; full of instagramable photos. The colors are vibrant and the interior decor is beautiful and modern. The service was slightly off. Our waitress forgot to put down our utensils and napkins so we didn't have anything to eat with. No one came to refill our waters and at one point, we asked this server for a glass of water and she never came. I ordered their tres leches French toast which was regular tasting and simple. It tasted like tough bread soaked with milk. I did enjoy my wife's Queso Fundido con Longaniza which is Oaxacan melted cheese with pico de gallo and chopped longaniza served with hot tortillas. I did love pouring their chili oil all over the cheese with every bite. We also liked their pork chicharron with creamy guac; this is a go-to appetizer. The drinks look interesting too we probably should've ordered some but it's ok. Not sure I'd come back but I'd say it's worth trying. It's pricey too so expect that.

Endrijoladas with scrambled egg & avocado

Pradera is truly a special place. I've dined with them like 5 times now since late 2025 and every time I feel like I find something new that I love about it! First, this place feels like a hug. Can't explain it- just come and see for yourself you'll understand. Their liquados are BOMB- made fresh to order with fresh fruit. My fave dish of theirs is their enfrijoladas; I'd never had this dish before coming here, and now I think about them OFTEN. Today was a super special visit tho- our serve Sam was really nice, helpful, and we even got to meet one of the owners, Nacho. The two of them made my partner and I feel like part of the fam. Vibes are immaculate and the food AMAZING! PS: ask for the salsa macha- it's liquid gold and made in house ‍

Nathan L.

Food had really good flavor and the portions are big! Parking is very busy and wait time can be long but the bar was open. The restaurant looks very nice inside but they definitely need to work on communication between each other and with customers.

Chilaquiles, café de olla, and banana líquado

Jonathan N.

My family and I came here for a birthday brunch for my mom, and it ended up being a great choice. Sam helped us out and the service was honestly amazing--super attentive without being over the top. The food was really good too. It's a nice twist on Mexican food without being crazy expensive, which I appreciated. Everything we tried was worth it. The atmosphere was also a plus--the music wasn't loud and it didn't feel distracting, so we could actually enjoy the meal and hang out. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

Decided to stop by for brunch and it did not disappoint! I ordered the 3 leches pancakes and a vanilla iced latte, and both were amazing -- the pancakes were soft, perfectly sweet, and full of flavor, while the latte was smooth and refreshing. My sister got the pan de muerto French toast with atole de fresa, and it was just as delicious -- rich, comforting, and beautifully presented. The ambiance was cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed brunch. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. Everything from the food to the drinks had that homemade touch that makes you want to come back. read more

VACA Brunch & Beyond was absolutely amazing! We didn't make reservations since the only times available on OpenTable were later in the afternoon, so we decided to walk in instead. They told us it would be about an hour wait, but we were seated in half that time. Once we were seated, our waitress Sam was incredible--very attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. I ordered the Chilaquiles and the Tres Leches Pancakes, and both were phenomenal! I can't wait to come back and try more items from their menu. They currently don't serve liquor, but the staff mentioned they'll be getting their liquor license in December--which is exciting! If you're like me and always wonder about parking: if you go before noon, you should have no trouble finding a spot. However, the plaza gets pretty packed in the afternoon, so be prepared for a crowd. Overall, I rate this place a solid 10/10--highly recommend for anyone who loves a good brunch spot with great food and even better service! read more

This place opened a week ago so they're still tweaking some things and the food was a little slow to come out BUT the food was so good that the wait did not matter. I got the chile relleno eggs benedict which was incredibly tasty. The hollandaise did not overpower the chile relleno, which was the star of the dish. My husband got chilorio con papas with scrambled eggs, which reminded me of a classic Mexican breakfast your best friend's abuela made for you. We will definitely be back to try the enchiladas. Generous portions-we could have shared. The owner of the restaurant was there and introduced himself to us-he was very sweet. I hope this place takes off! read more

The restaurant itself was really cute, and I liked the setup a lot. It definitely feels like a good photo op spot, and the atmosphere was fun and welcoming. The food was good overall, but nothing super extravagant. It wasn't bland by any means, though I did feel like it could have used a little more flavor. The service was decent, and I don't really have any complaints there. Overall, it's a nice and visually appealing place, but the food didn't stand out enough for me personally.

From the Business

Specialties

Welcome to PRADERA Brunch, where we bring the vibrant flavors of Mexico to your breakfast and brunch table. Our journey began with a passion for authentic Mexican cuisine and a desire to create a unique dining experience that goes beyond the ordinary. Nestled in the heart of Baldwin Park, California, our restaurant is a haven for food enthusiasts seeking delicious, wholesome meals in a welcoming atmosphere.

History

Established in 2023.

PRADERA Brunch began when four owners came together with one vision: to celebrate culture, flavor, and community. What started as a small restaurant in Baldwin Park quickly grew into a success, thanks to the incredible support of Baldwin Park and the surrounding cities. At the heart of PRADERA are culinary creations by chefs trained in different disciplines, blending nostalgic Mexican flavors with playful, modern influences. This unique collaboration transformed brunch into an elevated experience. With our second location now open in Costa Mesa, we carry big dreams of sharing the PRADERA concept across Southern California.

Meet the Business Owner: JR N J.

PRADERA Brunch was born from a partnership built on a shared vision and complementary strengths. From the very beginning, the concept was shaped by a collective commitment to creating a complete and immersive experience—one rooted in creativity, intention, and authenticity. Each partner brings a unique perspective, from concept development and culinary direction to service excellence and thoughtful design, resulting in spaces that feel warm, inviting, and memorable. Together, this collaboration transformed a small restaurant in Baldwin Park into a thriving success. With the opening of our second location in Costa Mesa, the partnership continues to evolve, driven by the same passion and ambition to share the PRADERA experience throughout Southern California.

Do you offer any vegan options or easy to modify options to make vegan?

The menu doesn't denote vegan options so hard to say if anything's truly prepared separately to avoid animal product contact. There appears to be vegetarian options but I wouldn't say anything is strictly vegan unless call and ask specifically.

Is there a public parking?

Yes, but because it's next door to Mercado Nothgate, it gets full around 10 am.

Hello. You can either book a reservation through open table or walk in. I didn’t have a reservation and got seated within 30 minutes.

We came relatively early on a Saturday, totally forgetting it was St. Patrick's Day weekend and this place would be poppin (which it definitely was as the day carried on). We were seated right away for breakfast. On weekends, they don't start serving lunch till 11:45am, but we got to enjoy their breakfast. I didn't even realize they serve food. We were seated in the upstairs area which was pretty awesome because you got more of a view of the ocean! It was awesome. The guy that seated us was one of the brothers that works there and he was so nice! He told us to let him know when we were ready to leave because it gets crazy and people try to steal tables hahah. He even tried to get us to stay later and offered to buy us all a shot if we did, which of course, my family never says no to, so they all got to enjoy that haha. He was fantastic! Our server was also amazing though I didn't get her name. The staff here really is outstanding! To eat, I ordered the chocolate chip pancakes and a side of their fruit bowl. It was all really good. The food came out pretty quick which was great. My family all enjoyed their HUGE beers and mimosas. But really, the drinks look like they could be a bowl of soup haha. We loved it here and I'd definitely come back. Once the afternoon hit, they turned the music up for the St. Patrick's Day crowd. It was definitely a fun atmosphere!

When you get inside, you can pick any table of your choosing and your server will find you. Also, the restrooms are clean! First time I came here, I tried the lemon pepper pterodactyl wings and sweet potato fries. The wings were kinda bland and needed ranch for flavor. The sweet potato fries were pretty greasy but went great with a beer. I've also tried their California Dreamin' burger with garlic fries. This burger was so yummy and filling!! The bun is like a grilled cheese and the toppings go so well together. The garlic fries were meh.

What I Love: * Unique Flavors: The food tastes great and they have some really unique touches. I love that they serve raspberry jam with their toast--it's a nice change from the standard grape or strawberry. * Homemade Quality: It's really cool that they do their own house-made potatoes and even their own homemade ketchup. You can tell they put effort into the details. The Drawbacks: * Pricing & Fees: I'd give this 4.5 stars if I could, but I'm sticking with 4 because it's definitely on the pricey side. What really bugs me is seeing a mandatory tip/service charge for certain group sizes on the receipt. Between the expensive menu and the fact that they are constantly busy with plenty of business, it feels like price gouging. * Parking: The parking lot is very small, so be prepared for a bit of a struggle to find a spot, especially since they are always packed. Final Thoughts: The food and unique house-made items keep me coming back, but be prepared for a high bill and a tight parking situation.

There is a good amount of fat but it has been prepared so that it melts in your mouth. The flavor is not overly sweet or over seasoned. It pairs well with the carrots and cilantro.

Except, they provide the most amazing berry jam and whipped butter. I thought about asking for more of the butter. I was excited to see that other patrons around me ordered the same thing.

For 3 people, the bill came out to almost $200, which would've been understandable if the food quality matched the cost -- but it really didn't. I ordered the steak medium rare, but it came out closer to medium and was very dry. On top of that, the kitchen absolutely overloaded it with garlic to the point where it completely overpowered the flavor of the meat. The potatoes on the side were also disappointing -- burnt, hard, and packed with way too much rosemary. All that disappointment for $55 dish! The atmosphere was busy and energetic for Mother's Day, which we expected, but the food itself felt rushed and inconsistent. For the prices they charge, I honestly expected much better execution and quality control. Overall, not the experience we hoped for, especially for a special occasion brunch.

We ordered the combo kabob plate, the Bayshore pizza, and finished with baklava. The combo plate was much larger in person than expected and could easily feed two people, but we were hungry and wanted to try the pizza as well. The meats were seasoned very well and extremely juicy. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the beef kabob was soft enough to almost melt in your mouth. The Bayshore pizza was more of a pan-style pizza with a unique cheese blend instead of traditional mozzarella. Make sure to ask for the pizza dip too, it has a tangy flavor that pairs really well with it. The warm baklava filled with pistachios was a great dessert to finish the meal. Service was friendly throughout the visit, and I appreciated that the restaurant cooks without seed oils because the meal did not feel overly heavy afterward. The interior is upscale and cozy with fresh flowers on each table, and the atmosphere feels great for both casual dinners and events. They also offer catering and private parties, which made me consider coming back for a graduation event in the future. The kabobs are definitely the highlight and are worth trying.

And it came from a breakfast joint, which is super rare in and of itself. Having lived in Southern California for many many years, I thought I had seen and experienced just about everything in the way of good places to eat. As I was driving around looking for some breakfast, I stumbled across oeb breakfast. And I am so glad I did. For starters, when you walk through the door, the place is bright and Cherry and has just the right amount of whimsy. It's neatly laid out and everything is in full view. It only took a moment my server to come get me at the front and direct me to a table. Let's talk about the service. Having been in the food service industry, I know what it takes to have a great dining experience. Caesar, who was my waiter, took care of me in a level that I have not seen in a very long time. Personable, gracious, accommodating, and helpful are just a few of the words I would use to describe my experience being served by him. I asked for coffee and water and within moments it arrived on my table. Side note, the coffee is off the chain! It is a brand called Umbria and it is amazing. After scanning the menu, I opted for the beef bulldogi Benedict with the beef Tallow fries. I asked for the fries extra crispy, and ask for my milk to be served with breakfast. If you've read any of my Yelp reviews on breakfast places, you know that that is one of my litmus tests for the accuracy of the order. If I have to ask for my milk after the meal's been delivered, they're not doing their job. Not that I'm picky, for me. It is just a way to determine how good of a listener the server actually is. It didn't take long at all for the food to be delivered. The presentation was absolutely amazing, as we eat with our eyes. First, I have to say that the way the food was plated was definitely a work of art. Once the food was dropped off half of me was going. I wonder if they will remember... And before I could finish my thought Caesar showed back up with the milk. Home run! The food itself was absolutely wonderful, I cannot remember when I have enjoyed a breakfast as much as this one. All the flavors were there, it was perfectly balanced, and was just a pleasant dining experience overall. Bragging on Caesar again, as I was sitting there, the restaurant started to get very busy, he handled himself with such Grace and poise and didn't let the mounting tension frazzle him. Again, I wish this place was in my hometown so I could come here more often, but you can bet that I will be back here multiple times. Bottom line? There aren't many places that I would tell friends they definitely absolutely had to go to. But oeb breakfast is now on the top of the list for me to recommend to my friends.

I love this brunch place, although they don't have a large selection of vegetarian or pescatarian selections, I have to say it is still one of my favorite places to eat. I come here for the Mahi Mahi tacos. I've also had the chilaquiles and enjoyed it very much. Omg, I love the Banana Foster pancakes, which you can share with 3 other people as it's a 3 stack! I definitely recommend it if you like Banana Foster. I can't wait to take my friends here so I can have another taste of the pancakes. They have a large selection of drinks from fresh juices, specialty non-alcoholics, to frappes. I do like the Green juice here, it's fresh and tasty. I come here often because I find myself craving for the café de olla, which I'm very happy it's refillable. I just tried the Licuados with strawberry and banana, to my surprise is also very good. If you intend to come here, give yourself some time to wait as it is always busy. Patience is a virtue. But if you want to be seated right away, maybe plan ahead. I don't mind sitting at the bar counter, as it's much faster when you are by yourself or have one or two other people with you. Something to think about if you're not picky about where you are seated. This restaurant is connected to Northgate Mercado, which I think is a plus! You can do a little grocery shopping after or just walk around and admire what they have going on. The restrooms are located with in Mercad, just a short walk. Which I don't mind. I like the ambiance in here, the decor is nice and customer relaxing even though can get lots with everyone talking all at once. I can still hear the music and find myself vibing with it. The service is great so far, as I've had excellent service every time I come here. The servers are great and attentive. Thank you to Sam who was my last waitress, and thank you to Mira who was my waitress prior to and recommended the banana foster pancakes. Til next time! =) read more

Vine por dos semanas a conocer Los Ángeles y en mi lista de lugares más populares de brunch apareció este lugar, mi experiencia no fue tan buena, no se si por la hora, el día o si realmente así siempre es. El lugar es espacioso y bonito, la vista fue excelente y esta locación esta dentro de un mercado donde hay diferentes puestos de comida que se veían muy ricos. Al llegar al lugar, se veía muy ocupado, pero no tardamos tanto en entrar. Cuando nos sentaron, la mesera tardó bastante en ir a tomarnos la orden. Mi amiga y yo pedimos unos cafés muy simples (de olla) los cuales tardaron demasiado en llegar y estaban fríos, la mesera a cargo de nuestro servicio parecía demasiado ocupada y nos olvidó en múltiples ocasiones. Respecto a la comida, llegó fría, mis chilaquiles estaban secos y la carne estaba seca, mi amiga pidió unas enchiladas y también estaban secas y frías. Yvonne fue nuestra mesera y la verdad nos dio un pésimo servicio, al finalizar de comer no tuvimos oportunidad de decirle lo que pasó con nuestros platillos, porque nunca se volvió a acercar, fue hasta que tuvimos que hacerle señas a otra mesera para que nos cobrara y fue a ella a quien le hicimos la observación. No tuvimos una buena experiencia dentro del lugar, por la comida y el mal servicio, pero el mercado tiene mucha variedad de comida y hay muchas cosas que comprar, darse una vuelta por mercado si lo recomiendo bastante y hubiese sido una mejor opción. read more

We had such a great brunch at Padera in Costa Mesa! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and the experience was even better thanks to our amazing server, Liz. Also we're greeted by the owners which was a nice experience. We started with the cheese plate, which was beautifully put together and a perfect way to kick off brunch. The birria torta and pork belly tacos were standout dishes, full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and seriously satisfying. Every bite was great. We also had a few of their drinks, which were refreshing and paired perfectly with the meal. What really made the experience exceptional was Liz, our server. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed the entire time. Service like that really makes a difference and made our brunch feel relaxed and enjoyable. We'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a delicious brunch in Costa Mesa with great service! read more

Pradera Brunch was such a great experience from start to finish. The standout for me was the licuado. It was incredibly fresh, perfectly blended, and honestly one of the most delicious I've had. You can tell they use quality ingredients because the flavor was rich without being overly sweet. The customer service was exceptional. Our server, Sam, was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything came out just right without ever feeling rushed. It really elevated the whole vibe of the meal. Had the honor of meeting and having a conversation with the owner Nacho and he was so kind and pure hearted. As for the food, the quality speaks for itself. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared, and the portions were spot on--filling without being overwhelming. You leave satisfied, not stuffed. Overall, Pradera Brunch delivers on all fronts: great drinks, amazing service, and perfectly balanced meals. Definitely a spot worth coming back to. read more

I had one of the worst dining experiences at VACA. After driving a long distance to try this place, I was forced to wait two full hours for a table. During that time, the hostesses at the front were completely unprofessional--gossiping, laughing, and ignoring waiting guests. It felt like customer service was the last thing on their minds. When I finally got seated, I was hoping the food would make up for the wait. Unfortunately, it was horrible. No seasoning, everything was burnt, and frankly, inedible. I couldn't even finish my plate--it was so bad I considered giving it to my dog instead. I rarely leave bad reviews, but this experience was unacceptable. VACA needs to seriously rethink its service and kitchen standards. I won't be coming back, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone! read more

If you're looking for a quality brunch spot that, this is it. First off -- the lattes are phenomenal. The little added touch of cinnamon took it to the next level. Perfectly balanced, smooth, and exactly what you want to start your brunch. Now let's talk food. I ordered the brisket skillet with sausage and bacon (see picture), and wow. The brisket was unbelievably seasoned and packed with flavor -- tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Every bite hit. I also tried the fresas con creama pancakes, and they were absolutely bomb. Sweet, fluffy, and the perfect complement to the savory skillet. On top of all that, the service was super friendly and punctual. The staff made the whole experience even better. Safe to say... I'm definitely spinning the block. Highly recommend. read more

Stopped by this restaurant thinking it was still Vaca, then realized it had changed. Since we were already there, we decided to give it a try. It's primarily a breakfast/brunch spot with no alcohol. Unfortunately, the service was disappointing from the start. We waited about 10 minutes at the front without being acknowledged, and only got seated after my mom went inside to ask a server. Throughout the meal, our server kept forgetting items, and when I asked for the check, she began upselling a coffee mug, which felt inappropriate given the circumstances. The food was decent but not worth the price. The decor and seating area are nice, with plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor tables. Overall, I would not return due to the poor service. read more

Pradera Brunch in Costa Mesa is an absolute vibe. From the moment you walk in, the place is super cute--bright, stylish, and perfect for a relaxed brunch with friends or a date. The atmosphere alone makes you want to hang out and enjoy the space. Huge shoutout to our waitress Alex--she was AMAZING. Super friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the experience even better. Service like hers really elevates the whole meal. Everything about this place is on point: great food, great energy, and an overall welcoming feel. You can tell a lot of thought went into both the menu and the design. Highly recommend if you're in Costa Mesa and looking for a brunch spot with great vibes and excellent service. read more

Outstanding service thanks to Alberto! We had a fantastic brunch experience at Pradera, and a huge part of that was Alberto. From the moment we sat down, he was warm, attentive, and incredibly professional. He knew the menu well, gave great recommendations, and checked in just the right amount. Made sure everything was perfect without being intrusive. Alberto's positive energy and attention to detail truly elevated our meal and made us feel genuinely welcomed. Service like his is what turns a good brunch into a great one. We'll absolutely be back and will be asking for Alberto again. Highly recommend! read more

Tried the new brunch spot Vaca at the NorthGate Mercado and loved it! The place is small but full of color, charm, and great vibes. We met one of the owners who was super friendly, talkative, and made us feel so welcome. We ordered the Café de la Olla with their conchas, both were amazing! The owner even brought us some cookies to try, and they were delicious. Their menu is big and everything looks so good. The Bananas Foster is definitely a must-try, and the chilaquiles were spot on. Everything we had was fresh and flavorful. Can't wait to come back! (Also loved all the cow decor) read more

Food brought me back to Tepa. From the chocomil in the bag to the lengua en su jugo. I have mad respect for the menu being primarily in Spanish. Honestly , this is comfort food. Portions are bigger so u can share. Our server was attentive and welcoming. As first timers it took us a hot minute to figure out what we wanted but she was extremely patient and kind throughout. Thank you Yvonne! My ONLY gripe with this place is the outdoor patio chairs. Crazy uncomfortable. The cushion helps but there definitely needs to be a board under there read more

We first saw this restaurant on TikTok and decided to give it a try. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and lively. The food not only looked just like the videos, but tasted even better, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. We're so glad we found this place through TikTok, it's definitely a spot we'll be recommending and coming back to! I would recommend making reservations because it does tend to fill up quick. read more

Pradera Brunch did NOT miss. The chilaquiles are hands down the best I've ever had -- full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The licuado came in a bolsa just like in Mexico, such a cool and authentic touch. We also ordered the tabla de quesos, which is basically a Mexican-style charcuterie board. The flavors were insane -- every bite was out of this world. On top of all that, the service was amazing. Friendly, attentive, and welcoming. This place is definitely my new favorite brunch spot. Highly recommend! read more

Our server was nice and friendly and made sure we got our dishes okay after our friend mentioned being allergic to spice. She was very helpful and attentive to us. And the ambience is very nice here. We were seated outside and there's no music outside so it's easier to hear each other. The food was great I loved the egg white omelette the chicken was delicious. And their green juice was also delicious I thought it would be bitter but it wasn't at all. Would come back here. read more
