Will be very honest in this review. The food here is great. Sometimes awesome! Would recommend. What I wouldn't recommend is dealing with their manager. My boyfriend wanted just strawberry crepes. He told our waitress and I heard just that. When the crepes came, they had strawberry reduction and bananas. He's not a big fan of bananas so we let the waitress know that we only asked for strawberry crepes. They take it back and suddenly she comes back with her manager who seems like she woke up on the wrong side of the bed. With a whole lot of atittude, places the plate down in front of us and goes "what's wrong with it?" My bf says he only asked for strawberries on the crepes. She talks with her shoulders, "you wanted lovely crepes, lovely crepes comes with strawberries. So you want the bananas gone?!" He's so taken back that he quietly answers ".. just.. strawberries." She just grabs the plate and leaves. The waitress brings back the same plate with all the topping scraped off, only strawberry reduction left, and new whipped cream on top. You can see where they just swiped everything off and best part is, he still had like three slices of banana on there. Honestly we were just looking for some fresh strawberries on there but that's too much to ask for cause he got none. He worked in hospitality before and found that so unacceptable. He was so taken back that he couldn't even voice that he in fact did not order lovely crepes, and just strawberry crepes. And to be given back the plate that read "idgaf" put us in a terrible mood when we were so happy to have a morning off together and spend quality time out. Told the waitress that in no way it was her fault and we are not directing the discomfort towards her, but her manager needs to calm down. As much as we love the food, we've decided that we refuse to take our business to a restaraunt with such a terrible manager. Still giving the place 4 stars for the food we've had in the past but just want others to beware of her attitude.

We checked this restaurant out for lunch with great niece and nephew. The restaurant looked bigger on the outside than the inside. As i looked through the menu, i saw desserts first. Thrn i came to the entrees and many of them looked like desserts disguised as main dishes. The wait staff was very helpful and the food came quickly. if you enjoy good food and desserts at the same time enjoy!

Super cute place! I thought we had the wrong restaurant walking through the door because you see advertisements for Mexican food BUT once you see the menu, it makes sense. We didn't linger here for very long due to this being an impromptu visit but I highly recommend this place . I ordered the Indy's Biscuit Combo. It's a half order of biscuits and sausage gravy, two eggs how you like them, two sausage links, two pieces of bacon and a serving hash browns. My fiancé ordered the Creamy French Toast. That consisted of French toast stuffed with cream cheese and topped with a vanilla icing, strawberries, blueberries and bananas.. and of course, whipped cream. I loved the options that were available for breakfast ! Especially all the Mexican inspired breakfast food. The staff were very friendly and super efficient. I don't think it was even 10 mins before our food arrived . My dish was delicious and I very rarely clean my plate. Needless to say there were no leftovers to be found lol. My fiancé also enjoyed his meal as well. Mainly because it wasn't overly sweet and the portions were just enough without being overwhelming . Oh! And they have mimosas . Had I known that, the stay might have been a little longer lol . Definitely on the top of the list for next time. Price wise, it was more than fair . 24 and some change for everything!

They have a new taco truck that inspired me to give them a try again. I ordered carryout on a Sunday morning. My order was delivered quickly and was still warm. They wrapped the inside of the to-go containers in foil which I haven't seen before but it helped keep everything nice and hot. I had the Mexi-skillet with a side of pancakes. The pancakes were thick and fluffy with plenty of vanilla flavor. The skillet was spicy (with two kinds of jalapeños) and had plenty of flavor. The eggs were cooked well too. I barely finished half the meal in one sitting so it's a great value for the price. Looking forward to seeing what the taco truck has to offer too!

I'm not a pancake person but I'm very much a Mexican inspired breakfast person! I had coffee and the Divorced eggs (minus the chorizo) and it was delicious! I loved it. I want to go back and get it again. The red and green sauce were both great tasting sauces. Disclaimer- I love refried beans and eggs! I won't say the prices were fantastic. A con of being vegetarian is paying full price when you hold the meat. I would come back here for sure.

When you first enter, it looks smaller than the outside but there are more tables hidden around the back. The menu is literally huge. Takes up Half the table, I ordered a turkey avocado omelette with red potatoes on the side and my wife ordered a cheeseburger plain. No complaints about the food quality. It was seasoned well and the potatoes had a crispness to them that was delicious. Services was good for a restaurant obviously looking for employees. The food was presented well as seen in the photos. I don't have the pallet of a fine chef but I'd call this some real down home food. It's not gourmet but it's good. My only complaint is that adding sides was expensive making our total price upwards of $40 for the food , soft drinks , and tip
