Bandoleros Café

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Bandoleros Café deserves all 5 stars and more!

The service was absolutely amazing — the whole team was on point, but Danney made our experience unforgettable. Her energy and hospitality were everything! She instantly caught on to our birthday vibe on a Friday morning and made us feel celebrated from the moment we sat down.

The food was exceptional, full of flavor, and the prices were just right for the quality and portions. We ordered a little bit of everything and loved every bite!

I’m definitely coming back — maybe with a small group… just kidding, probably a bigger one next time! Thank you, Bandoleros Café, for an amazing start to our day! 🙌✨

Marco Polo was the best server. He attended us very well and had us laughing the entire time. The food was to die for. A couple of us came for the first time and it was beyond expectation. Marco was extremely charismatic and we will definitely be returning.

Love the place! Been here a couple of times and the wait is long if you don’t get here early. I don’t blame the people that keep coming. The food, drinks and the people are great!

This restaurant has undoubtedly been the best I’ve ever visited. Although I’m from Texas and have had some fantastic Mexican food, this place offers both great Mexican cuisine and an excellent cafe. We’ll definitely be returning to Bandoleros!

I stopped by Bandoleros Cafe this morning, and it was fantastic! At first, I was a little confused about the waiting list at the entrance, but once I walked in, I was greeted and told I could sit anywhere. I chose a spot at the bar.

Right away, they offered me water and brought over a yummy concha to snack on—so good! After checking out the menu, I went with the Mandos Hash. It mentioned that the short rib was braised for six hours, and you could really taste the difference from the first bite. The eggs, Yukon potatoes, and peppers all came together perfectly.

I finished the whole meal and was completely stuffed. I washed it down with a big glass of horchata, which was amazing. I was honestly blown away and can’t wait to come back!

First off I’m so proud of bandeleros! We’ve come plenty of times. And the vibe, food, service is the same each visit. It has gotten busier but honestly so awesome because the food is an absolute MUST TRY. There isn’t one item on the menu that I can say didn’t meet my expectations. Staff is always so friendly and willing to make adjustments to food if needed. Don’t be afraid to ask for recommendations. & for the SECRET MENU. 🤭😌And be patient if waiting and they are busy. You would wait for other big business restaurants. So give them a chance to change your opinion by using their food, service, and vibe! Thank you Bandoleros! Always a pleasure coming in and having a bite or more 🤭🥰

Bandoleros Cafe is one of the best breakfast places in Orange County. My Fiance and I have been wanting to try this delicious chilaquiles but I saw their molcajete looked amazing and I was so happy with my decision. The mixture of all of the flavor melted in my mouth! I really wish we would have came alot sooner because it was an amazing experience. The service was amazing, our server was so attentive and the chemistry of the staff was great to witness. The owners personally came by to make sure everything came out correctly. The cafe de olla and conchas tasted just like home. Can’t wait to come back and bring my family to experience the amazing food and atmosphere!

My absolute favorite breakfast spot in Huntington Beach. Everything is so delicious I always have a battle with myself on what to order. Favorite dish has to be the green chilaquiles with short ribs on the side! Iced coffees also allll 10/10! If you haven’t gone yet just be prepared for a 30 min wait because it’s a community go to spot. Not only do they have amazing yummy food - shout out Sergio in the back- this location also has the best customer service! I always walk away full and very pleased with my experience! Thank you Tiare for your hospitality ❤️

I came here with high expectations but I was filled with nothing but disappointment. The food was mediocre but that’s not what I was disappointed on. The service here was HORRIBLE. The waiter was a hispanic man, his attitude was disgusting. He was very passive aggressive when we were ordering and gave us a dirty look. We didn’t get drinks just water, but they never came to refill us or ask if we needed anything else. The man only smiled and said thank you when I left him a tip, honestly didn’t deserve it at all.
