“I recently visited this restaurant under its new ownership, and I couldn't be more impressed! The new female owner has done a fantastic job creating a welcoming atmosphere while maintaining great quality and service.

One thing that really stands out is the extensive menu. There are so many delicious options to choose from that everyone in our group found something they loved. The chilaquiles were especially memorable—packed with flavor, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with care. They were easily some of the best I've had in a long time.

We also ordered the pancakes, and they were absolutely amazing. Light, fluffy, and delicious, they practically melted in your mouth. They struck the perfect balance between soft and satisfying.

Between the friendly service, wide variety of food choices, and the quality of every dish we tried, We'll definitely be back!“

“I was looking for a breakfast spot with soufflé pancakes and Tappi’s Cafe popped up, so we made the 20-minute drive and it was totally worth it! The menu was super unique, and the Dubai Chocolate waffles were definitely the standout for me. It’s more of a no-frills spot but the food was absolutely delicious and the service was great too. Shoutout to Mia for taking such good care of us. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their savory dishes!“
