The food is way over priced for what it is. We ordered a side of onions rings and the onions rings were falling apart and soggy. Ordered a side of ranch and reminded the cashier when I got there, she said it was in bag, it wasn’t. The lady was rude and was talking about me to the cook thinking that I don’t understand Spanish, I do. Anyway, not worth the money, poor quality and poor customer service.
Bacon Breakfast Burrito was delicious!! Im very picky about my Breakfast Burritos. Every place makes them different and this Fantastic makes them with all the right ingredients (eggs, cheese, hashbrowns choice of breakfast meat and salsa.) I had to omit salsa because I cant do spicy anymore but it was still perfect. I got it to go but the restaurant inside was very nice and really clean.
Dinner and lunch is always amazing.
Breakfast was not great.
Omlette was great but bacon was rock hard over done.
In our most recent experiences with this fantastic Cafe location, the food has not been very good, but the last time I went to this location was the worst experience. I ordered a chicken burrito and the chicken was dry and tasted not fresh. When I politely told the fantastic Cafe workers to remake the burrito but this time with carne asada, a cashier named Adriana got upset and was rude. The reason I decided for the remade burrito to have carne asada is because I assumed that it would taste better and that the carne asada would be fresh. The fantastic Cafe workers remade the burrito but it was worse because the carne asada was dry, flavorless, hard to chew and not fresh. I spoke to the manager about this situation that even the carne asada on the remade burrito tasted bad and not fresh and he told me that this was the first time anyone had mentioned the carne asada was not fresh. By reading several reviews of this fantastic Cafe location, some reviews mention about rude employees and that when something isn't good about the food, the manager acts dumb by saying that they never have any problems because they never make any mistakes. This means that the manager isn't honest with his costumers. Based on some reviews of this fantastic Cafe location, I'm not the only one who's had a bad experience with the food and the employees.
Amazing place!!! Best food I've had since I came here. Quick service and hella good food. Unsure about other locations, this is a good find for your money. (also free condiments)
This is the kind of place that’s been doing things the same way for decades. Run proudly by a family with deep Mexican heritage, this small diner has mastered the art of the no-fuss, all-flavor, all-American breakfast, brunch, and lunch- with just the right amount of south-of-the-border warmth woven in.
I was brought here intentionally for breakfast by someone who had eaten here before but couldn’t quite remember when - was it this century or sometime in the 1900s? Either way, it was clear that this spot is rooted in tradition, routine, and real hospitality. There’s no colorful menu of trendy shakes or hyper-personalized orders; instead, the focus is on hearty plates, prepared quickly, served with confidence, and appreciated by people who know exactly what they came for.
The hash browns are golden and a bit greasy in the best way, and the eggs are cooked with zero drama. Orange juice is served straight from a plastic bottle, no glass. The staff is experienced, friendly, and efficient, walking the floor and the counter like they’ve been part of the café’s rhythm since day one.
Around the room, there’s a quiet joy. Patrons smile as they sit down and leave looking just as content - satisfied not only by the food, but by the reliability of a place that feels like home without trying too hard.
This is a family-run, old-fashioned diner that delivers everything a good café should: consistency, comfort, and a warm, grounded energy. A truly happy place, where pride and simplicity go hand in hand.
Burger joint. Good burgers
I had the junior burger with Colombian coffee. The burger was tasty, and I enjoyed the atmosphere. The staff was also very nice.

The setting for this breakfast burrito experience looks cozy and classic! The warm, inviting diner booths give off a nostalgic vibe, perfect for sitting down and enjoying a relaxed meal. The burrito itself looks delicious, wrapped tightly and filled with hearty ingredients that you can already tell are going to deliver a burst of flavor. Paired with a hot cup of coffee and some ketchup on the side, this makes for an ideal start to the day. The clean and comfortable atmosphere of the restaurant really complements the simplicity and satisfaction of a well-made breakfast burrito. Perfect spot for a morning pick-me-up!

I love these people there. They are good people who make good food. And good deals. Just one thing, I don't think they sell pitchers of beer like that lady has in the pictures, but if they do, God bless em. I'm going in now

Didn't eat in the establishment however the service was amazing for pick up. The food wasn't the best, kind of bland but I imagine that makes it healthier than normal.

I got a tuna melt which was really good, but the tuna was cold and I'm one of those let's throw the tuna on the grill type of guys. The good news is that they told me for future reference that I can request that.
Kid-friendliness: People do bring their kids there so I guess it's kid-friendly enough.
