Bandoleros Café

The food was outstanding, everything was good. The coffee latte was amazing and the conchas on the table were the finishing touch. Our server Danney was the best, five stars all around.

Wow 😮 woke up to have breakfast @bandoleroscafe and let me tell you this place is super amazing. It’s a tiny place but has a awesome vibe. The food came out quick and all the staff is so friendly. I had the so Cal sandwich which had ham, cheese, egg, bacon and aioli sauce. My girl had the red chilaquiles with asada. They gave us 2 conchas and I also had their spooky flight margaritas which was strawberry, peach and blackberry. Overall this place gets a 10/10 and I am definitely going back to try more of their food.

If your going as a group of two your bound to be sat right away. If you go as a group of 3 you’ll have to wait over an hour which is annoying but good to know for next time. As soon as we got sat we were only offered water and to have our order taken, that’s when we noticed a bit of an attitude from our server. I had read before coming that they offered complimentary conchas and we saw that other tables had them as soon as sitting down. I waited to see if the concha’s would come out with our food or drinks and they did not. I had to ask another server if we could get the concha’s and she was shocked to see that we never got them. Another issue in service was ordering the molcajete which says it comes with tortillas but they came out 12 minutes after our food was brought out. Would’ve preferred to get the tortillas at the same time as the molcajete. Overall the food was really good but the place lacked in service.

Amazing flavors and food. Very attentive staff. We got the Chiliqules Verde with short rib and it was fantastic. Also got the Brekky Quesadilla really good as well. You get free conchas when sat and they were thick and sweet.

Absolutely amazing experience. They were so sweet and hospitable. The food was TO DIE FOR. My tia and mom loved it and they are hard to please!!! They give out free conchas too. I don’t know how they could possibly get any better.

The place is great. The food was delicious and they have a good selection of drinks. The chilaquiles had a lot of flavor and tasted great. The only issue is that the seating is very tight

I just had another fantastic experience at Bandoleros Cafe in Huntington Beach. As a neighbor, I often stop by, especially on Sunday mornings, because the food, atmosphere, and service are consistently excellent.
A huge shout-out to Erica! When I was treating the staff at Cycle Gear to their delicious Bandit Iced Lattes, Erica went above and beyond. She thoughtfully included some Conchas for the team to enjoy with their coffee! That simple, genuine gesture of kindness and her great smile carries so much weight.
It's this kind of exceptional, neighborly service that makes me choose Bandoleros time and time again. The quality of the coffee and food is fantastic, and the staff's warmth truly makes them a wonderful part of the local community. Highly recommended!

Came here due to the stellar reviews to be met with a line. Instead of frustration, saw the hostess expertly maneuvering everyone, speaking to everyone and generally keeping the atmosphere enjoyable and light. Our turn came promptly, and the wait didn't feel long at all, especially since we could smell the beautiful aromas wafting out of the kitchen.

It was hustling and bustling inside, and we had picked what we had wanted before even coming in through the door. We ordered right away, and given how PACKED it was, our food came in no time.

Husband and I ordered the Chilaquiles Verdes and my bestie ordered the Huevoa Divorciados. Both came fresh, hot and cooked to perfection. Hubby ordered the Horchata and OJ, and I must say, that Horchata may have been the star of the show! The iced Cafe de Olla was also pure perfection and hit the spot just right!

Danney/Danay was our server and she was so sweet, her whole demeanor was so pleasant to interact with! The hostess and Danney/Danay were simply marvelous. I would return here over and over again!

Quickly becoming my favorite spot to eat! Sometimes food can be either visually pleasing or tastes amazing, not here. They have both down to an exact science. Blows my mind every dish I see them bring out. The staff are so friendly and beyond helpful/considerate that I had to bring my family here. The environment is friendly and vibrant. The restaurant is family owned n a small business which is truly inspiring. The place may be small but honestly they are worth the wait every time. Besides, I think it gives it a cozy family vibes to it. Their complimentary concha’s are so soft n delicious. Their chilaquiles reminds me of home (best way possible). Today I tried their wet style surf n turf burrito and let me just say 10/10. They did not go light on the shrimp n sauce. I did the split sauce while both were delicious the chipotle red one made my tastebuds sing. I’m already planning on what to order next time I go! That molcajete is going down!

I asked for green sauce on my burrito and the waitress lied and said they only have it on the weekends. A couple hours after i left they posted the EXAACT SAME THING on ther instagram story with what i ask for. Even the group i went with had green sauce on there food but i was told by both waitresses no. The restaurant will discriminate you if you are of color.

What an absolute gem of a restaurant! My family and I are so excited that this is literally a one minute drive from home. Sundays mean brunch adventures and wow, Bandolero’s did not disappoint. The food is fresh, with plenty of flavorful offerings. We waited for about an hour, but it was absolutely worth it. Every seat was full, and now we know why. All of the staff, every single person, are so incredibly kind and sweet. We felt very welcome at this establishment. I am heavily pregnant and cannot sit at the bar, so they made sure to seat us at a booth. The decor is really nice, super inviting and very chill. I love that the water cups are stainless steel, it feels like home. And the food! I cannot indulge in the coffee or sweets, but my husband assured me that the cafe de olla and conchas were delicious. He ordered something called Mondo’s hash. I opted for a breakfast sandwich with house potatoes. Husband said his hash was exactly what he wanted— hearty, flavorful short rib, potatoes, peppers, salsas, with just the right amount of pickled red onion, and a fried egg. My SoCal sandwich was stuffed to perfection with eggs, avocado, chipotle, and a bunch of other yumminess. House potatoes were flavorful and perfect. We came home with leftovers for dinner. Their house-made hot sauce was fresh and added punch to our food. Husband wanted to take some home. Maybe they’ll bottle and sell it. I am told the concha was so good— soft and fresh, not too sweet, and the housemade café de olla was perfect. Prices are reasonable. Parking is free and easy. We can’t wait to go back.
