We always feel treated well whenever we come here. The food is delicious and everything I've tried has exceeded my expectations. I only wish the restaurant was bigger.

Good food and prompt service. Had a business breakfast and was pleasantly surprised by the quality. They also have their flagship restaurant El Portal behind it, been there several times and it does not disappoint.

I have walked past Yahaira's Cafe on many occasions when I was in the Pasadena area, but never once did I walk inside. I was informed it served Mediterranean foods, but it turns out, they serve Mexican and/or Yucatan foods. I finally took one big leap forward and decided to check them out for the very first time last weekend. I am so glad I did! This cafe is so beautiful and colorful inside... the decor is lovely and quaint! Lots of bright colors on the walls. I found out this cafe is named after the lady owner's daughter, Yahaira. How sweet and loving is that! There is a black and white painting of gorgeous Yahaira on the wall. There are two door entries; one door on the Colorado Blvd side and the other door is slightly adjacent to it. They have outside patio seating and indoor seating. I was greeted right away by the lady owner upon my entry. Muchas gracias senora! After looking at the two menus (each had different items on them), I knew exactly what I wanted to try. Let me tell you, when I go big, I go big especially when it comes to food LOL. I ordered the Shrimp Tostada... OMG, huge and amazingly delicioso... 6 big tasty shrimps (8 would have been better because I love shrimp LOL), 1 shrimp taco (this one was the #1 best tasting... love the 4 shrimps!), 1 fish taco (this one was #2 best tasting... tons of blackened fish by the way), 1 chicken taco (this was my least preferred... chicken was a tad dry IMHO), 1 order of fries (nice, thin, and crispy... yummy!), and 1 vampiro drink (good and very healthy). One thing I loved about the tacos was the tomatos and onions were not diced, they were in strips (first time ever seeing this form on a taco)... this gave it more depth in taste. Everything was served hot on vibrant and colorful plates... they were just delish... the foods not the plates LOL! My server was really nice and pleasant. The overall service was impeccable from the time I entered the cafe until the time I left. Thank you everyone! Yahaira's Cafe staff, keep doing what you do best at your craft! Thank you for sharing your passion in cooking up some amazing Mexican foods. I appreciate your warm and welcoming hospitality. I'll be back for more of your excellent foods and service!!!

Showed up and got a breakfast burrito. The burrito was delicious, one of my favorite breakfast burritos I've had. Staff was nice and the food came out really quick. Might have to stop by again before I leave town.

Stopped in while I was doing business in Pasadena, happy I did, because this was one of the best tortas I've ever had. The fries were great too, not too greasy or overly seasoned. Well worth the drive from Palmdale!?

We had breakfast on a Sunday morning. Most of the tables were taken but we were able to get one without a wait. The food was wonderful. We had the Huevos Yucatan and Mexican omelet. There was so much going on in these dishes; spices, sauces, beans, avocado, chorizo. The potatoes are great and the hashbrowns are crispy on the outside and tender inside. I am ready for more as I write this. The servers feel like they are family. Very friendly and attentive.

Got a shrimp burrito. Shrimp is raw. Ask for another burrito. Shrimp is raw again. I just wanted a shrimp burrito.
Third time stopping by and every dish has been great. Shrimp or steak tacos are awesome, and the guac had always been amazing. Almost burned myself on the fresh chips so watch out when they arrive.

This is my go to breakfast spot! I’m a picky eater so my order was create your omelette. Egg whites, cheese, asada with side of beans instead of potatoes and wheat toast. They got bomb salsa! So the food taste like homemade fun so that’s always great. Aside from that the ambiance in here is so nice they have great music playing not too loud and not too low. All the staff is super friendly always checking in and asking how the food was. They are always in a good mood here and make me feel welcome. Glad I found this gem in Pasadena. Thank you staff for your amazing service and good.

Food was good. I had the Portobello Omelet which was served with potatoes. The coffee there is excellent. The server was not attentive at all. He would walk past us but not ask if we needed anything. We were missing a few things we ordered which he claimed he "did not hear".
