- Delicious.- Cute café style Mexican restaurant.I like that the coffee shop Cafecito is built-in next door, the smell in the restaurant is wonderfully relaxing. It reminds me of traveling, a nice airport lounge, the noise level was quiet-moderate with the décor being darkly modern.There was a small wait when I arrived, but that's okay, plenty of seating to wait. I originally came seeking to try the enchiladas but didn't realize they have different menus for lunch/dinner, so I ended up ordering the Huevos Rancheros with two over medium eggs on-top and xmas sauce (red and green sauce mixed). I also ordered a Shirley Temple, think sierra mist/7-up with grenadine, it was delicious. The Huevos Rancheros was perfect, the eggs were perfect, the layering and sauce was perfect, everything was perfect. The eggs were delicious, stuck out as being tastier than other eggs I've had in the valley, could have just been the combination of food.During my visit on 5/12/2025 at around 12:30-1pm, a man was sat down in front of me at a small table with two chairs, the waiter said he would be with him momentarily. My waiter, whose name I don't remember, was very busy working his section. I guess this patron was unhappy by the short wait bestowed upon him, visibly upset by the waiter passing him by one extra time or two without a drink - this patron stood up and left in an upset manner. I just want to say, to my waiter, whose name I don't remember, man with a speech impediment, did nothing wrong. He was very aware of his surroundings, was very attentive/aware of the patrons in his section, and the bus-boy/barback was doing a great job getting waters out (or trying his best). That patron who left was disrespectful, could use a thing or two about patience.Anyways, I loved the atmosphere, even the metal chair I sat in, I usually don't like hard seats but these had a slight curvature to them and were slightly more comfortable than usual hard chairs. They had booths as well, but overall it's a small establishment. There were two unisex single person restrooms, both accessible, although to be noted for wheelchair users - the bathroom requires going through some potentially tight turns in the back. The busier it is, the more difficult I would imagine it to navigate with a wheelchair in here. The restaurant itself is semi-accessible to wheelchair users, however I would call-ahead to reserve a table with room just to be on the safe side.Overall, a great experience.Quality atmosphere with quality food. - Nick McConnell
