Most Disliked
A few voices have expressed concern over the busyness during peak times, especially on Thursdays at dinner when the cafe reaches full capacity. Patrons may need to be prepared for a wait or consider visiting during off-peak hours for a relaxed meal. Another minor complaint includes the lack of specialty desserts; the selection is limited to a cheesecake and cinnamon roll. Some diners wishing for more variety might be slightly disappointed. A few have also mentioned the occasional noise level, typical of busy family-friendly spots. Still, these are minor setbacks compared to the overall enjoyable dining experience.

Great experience. First time in and we ordered basic meals just to try it out. It was good. Next time we will order more adventurously. It’s a drive for us living in the Penitas end of Mission.

10/10 experience. This place is well known for a reason! I won’t leave too many words and leave my dads reaction here… He got the Monterrey burger btw! The only downside according to him was not having enough room to finish it.
