    Potato tacos
    Brian C.

    Been eyeing this place tucked in behind Mickey Ds Right on the side of the road. Small and cozy not exactly for big parties but for a small family or coupled. It's the ol' school form bed and breakfast style. Music flowing through the air as you walk in. The proprietor asked us to find a seat and someone will be with you. Now I noticed some reviews complaining no prices on the menu, well on Yelp the run down of the menu has the prices. The wait staff was friendly spoke Spanish at first but completely bi lingual the chips and salsa good chips Okay not stale salsa taste made in house nice kick. My wife ordered tosada cevieche and hard shell potato tacos I got wet Verde carnitas burrito and a carne asada taco. Potato tacos were good my side taco bigger then a street taco size meat dices but cooked well with pico with it. Cevieche barely passed tmy wifes test it was my wife is picky she said it's a little blan not a usual comment from my wife, unfortunately my wife doesnt recommended this. I did love the Plating. My burrito was well plated and a good size well covered in sauce. Well packed and flavorful good amount of meat. Satisfying. Establishment is clean and has anemiities like high chairs and Sanitizer on the wall. A air unit above the door to keeps unwanted friends away. Wall is brick decor. Wickered chairs Nice cozy mom and pop Atmosphere = 8 Plating = 8 Price to product = 7 Customer service = 8 Menu = 8 Will return to have other things on the menu

    Egg whites, frijoles de la olla and chicken breast.

    Started walking recently and walked by Yoli's and decided to try this little place out. It's a small building in the Ralph's parking lot. First time we were there, I decided to try the chilaquiles. When I saw they had mole chilaquiles, I had to have them. Mole is so good-- little on the sweet side but chocolaty and well seasoned. Husband had Huevos Divorciados and the sauces were tasty. Came back a few weeks later and he had for ham and eggs breakfast and I had the huevos a la Mexicana breakfast trying to be healthy, ya know? The potatos were not greasy at all well seasoned in a red sauce that was a pleasant surprise. Today, husband had the chilaquiles divorciados and I ordered from the More Healthy Breakfast and got the egg whites, frijoles de la olla, and chicken for a high protein breakfast and it was good. The salsa is so good, too. What is underrated is the coffee. It's got cinnamon in it adds that touch of nostalgia and warmth. I ask for it over ice because I do walk to Yoli and is still so good! The food is flavorful and hits the spot every time. The service is superb! Yoli's is a secret gem that has amazing food. Highly recommend.

    We have driven by this place for a while. It is a very small spot. The food was ok. The service was good. I didn't like the salsa. The chips were not fresh.

The idea was to enjoy my coffee while getting organized--paying bills, planning calendar events, and having the opportunity to focus without any distractions from my usual surroundings. In search of the perfect spot, I turned to Yelp, a reliable resource for uncovering hidden gems nearby. Upon stepping into the coffee shop, I was immediately greeted with warm hospitality, setting the tone for a delightful experience. The ambiance of the place was truly captivating--it was bright and welcoming, infused with an aesthetic charm that instantly put me at ease. I couldn't help but be intrigued by the design elements throughout the shop, which added an inviting touch to its overall atmosphere. Before I settled in, I asked the staff if I could snap a few photos to capture the essence of this delightful space. They graciously welcomed my request, and I was shown to my table, which, quite uniquely, was designated by a number--a small detail that I found charming. As I browsed the menu, I encountered a small conundrum: I wasn't entirely sure what to order. I wanted to break the mold and try something out of the ordinary. My curiosity was piqued by their exclusive offering of Café de la Olla--a traditional hot drink that piqued my interest right away. I ultimately settled on a hearty plate that included rice, beans, and enticing potato tostones, accompanied by two beautifully cooked sunny-side-up eggs. As I waited for my order, I noticed the café was filled with the sweet sounds of old-school music from the '60s and '70s, which only enhanced the cozy ambiance while I sipped my drink. Now, let's talk about the food! I must say, I rated the café itself a solid 4 out of 5 for its overall charm, while the rice earned a respectable 4 out of 5. The beans were rich in flavor and received a fair 3.9 out of 5. The potato tostones, delicately bathed in a savory red sauce, stood out with an impressive score of 4.3 out of 5--these are a must-try if you visit! And as for the sunny-side-up eggs, they were good, but hey, eggs are eggs, right? Overall, the entire experience was quite enjoyable, from the delightful food to the warm atmosphere. A special shout-out goes to Ana, whose exceptional customer service made my visit even more memorable. The combination of fantastic service, inviting aesthetics, and satisfying food truly made for a perfect morning retreat. I can't recommend this spot enough for anyone looking for a relaxing place to unwind and focus on what matters.

They As we are a primarily chicken household, I brought my family with me to try their chicken plates and creative chicken plates. My first initial thought walking into Chicken Koop is that it has calm party vibe... the reason I say this is because through our whole time in the restaurant, they were playing a lot of my favorite songs. For a second, I thought my phone had connected to their speakers, lol! Pictured below is the Fried Chicken Sandwich and the 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate. The Friend Chicken Sandwich was so juicy and flavorful; the breaded chicken patty had a perfect crunch to it. The 1/2 Roasted Chicken Plate was also another delicious and great choice.

I didn't try the nachos, but my friend seemed to thoroughly enjoy the diverse ingredients. We had a wonderful time and I'll definitely be returning.
