I’ve been coming to this location for a long time. The food is always on point from taste to temperature. The location is very clean, and it smells clean, people are always mopping floors and wiping down eating areas.
The inside in not suitable for a large group because it is limited seating. They do have a ramp for a wheel chair to roll in but it might be complicated to exit, just going by memory, because of the space issue.

I’ve been here twice and will be back! I got their breakfast mexicali bowl and the green smoothie bowl thing once and then steak mexicali another time. They were all SO good! I crave the green smoothie bowl thing now sometimes. The portions are the perfect size, the food tastes fresh, and the staff are kind. The food is also definitely packed with protein. Both my orders were order ahead/pickup, and I don’t know if I’d want to actually hangout/eat at the cafe for long, but...

Consider ordering their mexicali bowl!!! AMAZING doesn't even begin to describe how good it is honestly. It was pretty affordable for such a filling bowl & has good portions compared to Chipotle. Not to mention that it's genuinely the best bowl I've ever had!!🥙👏
Price: $14.80 excluding tips
1000/10 definitely recommend!!
