We went out for a Sunday brunch and were glad to know we could have outdoor seating. There were a few bees but the breeze helped. We had immediate service and attention even though we were outside. My daughter had the cream cheese french toast...and loved it - saying it was great to have the cream cheese but not too much. My husband had the raspberry fritter french toast which he said was a treat - he would not usually get something like that, but he wanted to try it. I had the fajita omlette which was tasty- I just wish the pepper and onion had been cooked. My son had the fajita salad and also expected the pepper and onion to be sauteed. Still, our meals were good and we had some to take home. While this is a treat (I think $70 for 4 adults to eat with 2 hot cocoas), it is very good and very nice to be able to sit outside and be safer.More

I was excited to try this place on a recent trip to St Paul as it was highly rated. The food was okay, but not 4-5 stars.

The Belgian waffles are a wonderful texture, so unlike other waffles, and they are piled with fruit. My husband loves the Huevos Rancheros. This is our new favorite breakfast spot!

Great breakfast with a Mexican flair! They have regular eggs but the Mexican breakfasts were a hit. Tex Mex, Matchaca and the Mexican omelet were all delicious.

This is an excellent, family owned neighborhood cafe which has been here on Smith Avenue for more than 25 years. It offers a mixture of Tex-Mex and American comfort food. One of the owners, Danielle, also is a friendly wait person. Came here for breakfast...o two recent April days. Lots of others enjoy the omelettes of various kinds. One day I had Huevos Rancheros - excellent, at $8.99. Another day I had the corned beef hash. There are early bird specials available too. Also, there are amazing cinnamon rolls that are perfect for sharing. Strongly recommended.More

Have dined here many times however the food the last two times was not up to par. Last time I ordered a waffle that was way over cooked, dried out & hard. Will try one more time if it does not improve I will discontinue...dining there.More
