Caramelo Cafe

"They def have the best Chilaquiles ! It’s a lot of food and I got it with steak. The portions are large. I’m def coming back with more friends."

"This is my 3rd visit here. I wanted to give an honest review. I ordered th green chiiquiles. The food lacks the amazing flavor you get at the original Carmelo's in LA Puente. I had to add salt and pepper and still didn't eat 1/2 my food, so I took it home only to toss it out later. My bill for 2 people with coffee was over $50.00. The staff is quick and friendly, the place is small inside and clean."

"Tasty breakfast and delicious cafe de la olla. Great variety of combinations and good atmosphere, friendly staff and quick service. There are tables inside and outside. Enough parking spaces. Enjoy your visit!"

"Lovely cafe with a quaint atmosphere. The food is a 3/5 star for me, because the taste and presentation wasn’t outstanding. The waffles by far are the best menu item, highly recommend. The cafe de olla is incredibly sweet and tastes only like piloncillo, not a trace of coffee. The server says the cafe de olla is made with chocolate as well. Their fried potatoes are thinly sliced and mixed with peppers. Service was attentive and kind. Overall, 4/5 rating for the cafe, nothing outstanding or unique to the experience."

"I finally visited the new location of Caramelo Cafe on Valinda Avenue after going to the original cafe on Amar Road for several years. Rose took my phone order and had everything ready when I arrived. This time, I ordered two orders of the new (to me) chicken chila-rrito, which is combination of freshly cooked chicken, green sauce chilaquiles, queso fresco, refried beans, and eggs. I really enjoyed this new item, and I definitely recommend it. I also picked up some Cafes de Olla, which always pair well with any dish from Caramelo Cafe. I noticed that this location has a permanent, covered outdoor patio for dining al fresco, which I appreciate even though the coronavirus is less dangerous now for non-immunocompromised people. Because members of my family are at high risk, I may return to eat here for breakfast in the patio. It was nice to see here several staff members - including Rose & Perla - whom I remember from the original Amar Road location. As always, the food tasted great and the service was wonderful. The freshness and quality of the food completely justified the price. I definitely will return here. NOTE: This location apparently does not offer all the drinks that the original Amar location offers. For example, the Cafe de Carmen only is available at the Amar Road cafe."
