I miss the old vibe of having the lamps on. The owners son seems to have it too dark now no lights on only red light bulbs and the windows are covered with black curtains. It feels like a rock venue, el hueso is meant to be a coffee shop to relax read and have a nice conversation where you can see the other person. Just my opinion.

Hueso el Fraile is one of those rare places that truly feels like home to everyone. The environment is cozy, relaxed, and full of character, and the people there create a genuinely friendly, welcoming culture.

What stands out most is how inclusive it feels. You’ll see all kinds of people here—locals just passing through, artists, students, folks with very little, and people with plenty—and everyone is treated the same. There’s no judgment, no pretension, just good vibes and a shared appreciation for the space.

It’s a place where you can feel comfortable being yourself, no matter who you are or where you come from. That kind of atmosphere is hard to find, and it’s what keeps people coming back.

Ordered an americano however it wasn’t made with a typical espresso using an espresso machine, it was made using drip coffee. Service was slow despite it being an americano which is the easiest drink to make and was still charged $5 again despite again it being a fake americano.
