“Fantastic small restaurant related to Brophy Bros. with amazing food. We recommend their fish and chips along with their fish tacos. Be sure to say hi to Isaac when ordering, he's their phenomenal manager and truly cares about the quality of your visit. Pay up front and wait for the food to be delivered. Depending on the dish it'll come in a plastic basket or on a plate. They can split side dishes, for example half tots and half slaw which is great compared to other restaurants. Located right next door to the camino real theaters. Bathrooms are outside and part of the shopping center.“

“Lunch at Natural Café was exactly what we needed!

We arrived very hungry and left completely satisfied. The menu offers an impressive variety of fresh, healthy dishes, and everything sounded so delicious that choosing what to order was the hardest part. There are so many mouthwatering options that you’ll find yourself wanting to try them all.

After placing our order, we barely had time to choose a table before our food arrived. Everything was served fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. I ordered the salmon with pesto accompanied by an arugula salad, and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meals as well, including the fish tacos, vegetarian burrito, and roasted chicken breast with marinara pasta.

The restaurant itself is bright, spacious, and comfortably air-conditioned, with plenty of natural light and greenery both inside and outside. The outdoor seating area is thoughtfully equipped with numerous umbrellas, providing welcome shade and comfort on sunny days.

Natural Café is a wonderful place to enjoy fresh, wholesome food in a relaxing atmosphere. We will definitely be back!“

“Esperanza made our visit to IHOP absolutely exceptional! From the moment we sat down, she greeted us with such a warm, genuine smile and made us feel truly welcome. Her positive attitude, kindness, and professionalism stood out from start to finish.
She went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Our drinks were always full, our food came out exactly as ordered, and she checked on us often without ever making us feel rushed. She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, which made the entire experience so enjoyable.
It's rare to come across someone who clearly takes so much pride in providing outstanding customer service. Esperanza's friendly personality and attention to detail turned a simple meal into a memorable experience. She is an incredible asset to IHOP, and we will definitely be coming back because of the excellent service she provided.
Thank you, Esperanza, for your kindness, hard work, and for making our day a little brighter. You truly deserve all five stars!“

“I really enjoyed the while experience. Staff was friendly and on it. She saw an empty cup would you like av refill, empty plate would you like me to take that. Attentive, very courteous. Food was very good and quick. We ordered the special burger I think it came out to $13 a plate. What a great deal. Definitely will be going back“
