If you consider Taco Bell Mexican food, this place is great. Me and my kid could not stomach through it. Maybe my fault for hyping it up in my head. Don’t get me wrong it looked great, good presentation, and great service. A 73 dollar bill including tip for food we didn’t enjoy and couldn’t get a quarter of the way through, was not only a disappointment but a costly lesson.

The service was great! The server was very attentive despite how busy it was. The wait for a table was 45 minutes and I thought it would be worth it but it was a little less tasty than average food. I had the chilaquiles and my daughter had the stuffed poblano pepper. They looked better than they tasted. I’m glad their pricing was fair though.

The cafe de olla was absolutely delicious! We had the Chile poblano, their specialty; chilaquilas, machaca with egg, and the machaca is the real deal not shredded beef. The service was phenomenal, we felt welcomed like family.

I love trying out new places. I don't know what took me so long to check this cute little place out. I love the inside it's so warming, and it reminds me of when I was a kid, the food was delicious 😋 and the coffee was amazing, so yummy are Waitress was very professional. She was gracious and had great customer service. If you haven't checked this place out, I highly recommend it 🥰

First time in. I was looking for a good breakfast place to celebrate my daughter's birthday. Buendia did not disappoint. The food was delicious and the service was great. Karla was our server and made absolutely sure that we had what we wanted. Everything was served with their special ingredient "Alegría". They even played Las Mañanitas for my daughter ✨️💖Good job to the entire staff.Gracias por todo.

What an amazing experience! The service was excellent from start to finish, and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the empanadas, and my partner ordered the chilaquiles divorciados—both dishes were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. Every bite reminded me of my mom’s homemade cooking, which made the meal feel extra special.A special thank you to Patricia, our server, who was friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome throughout our visit. Her great service made the experience even better.We left happy and satisfied and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended! 😊🍽️❤️
