Mexico Cafe

Unfortunately, my first ever Google review of a restaurant has been inspired by a dismal experience. What began as a simple hunt for a breakfast burrito turned into being completely ripped off. Firstly, it should be noted that Mexico Cafe doesn't list prices on their online menu. My friend called in the order over the phone for two breakfast burritos that normally come with chorizo, but being we are vegetarians we requested to sub the meat for avocado. The manager on the phone refused to comply with this very simple and reasonable request. One would think that not getting the main ingredient (i.e. meat) would warrant a simple substitution at no charge, but the manager insisted on charging us an additional 4 bucks for avocado slices. Wow what a slap in the face. Especially since Cocina Sabores which is right down the road from Mexico Cafe ALWAYS subs out the meat for avocado with NO additional price. Here's the topper, Cocina Sabores burritos are only $8 (and are MASSIVE), Mexico Cafe's ended being $18 each!! They of course didn't give us that total over the phone and instead laid that horrendous price on us when we picked up our food. Very shady business practices going on at Mexico Cafe. To make matters worse, the burritos were awful! Totally bland flavor, no veggies whatsoever, only eggs, cheese, beans and a side of $4 avocado slices, that considering the high price and lack of everything else should have been a FREE SUBSTITUTION! I would highly suggest skipping over the lack luster food and insane prices at Mexico Cafe. Instead give your business to the humble and awesome mom/pop Cocina Sabores that's just a half mile away down Division St. Trust me, your wallet and stomach will thank you mightily :) Mexico Cafe. DO BETTER.

Great little, local choice for awesome Mexican food. Best Mole sauce north of Fresno, and you don't have to go through (or to) hell in order to get it. However, you will have to wait a few minutes. Not too long, and the chips and salsa are fresh, plentiful and delicious. The "spicy" actually is, so taste lightly if you are sensitive. Not terrible as prices go. It isn't exactly cheap, either though. The thing is however, the quality of ingredients that go into their food is absolutely top flight, and that means they're also more expensive by comparison. But they are more than fair enough in value for the dollar spent.

We were really encouraged by the great reviews and decided to order via DoorDash for a date night in. We ordered flautas, nachos and a chile relleno. What we received was bland, oily and lacking any kind of presentation. Don’t get me wrong - I love a hot plate of cheesy goodness, but for the price, I would have loved to see some kind of vegetable or garnish. My husband commented that the flautas reminded him of the Delimex taquitos we make in our air fryer. We won’t be ordering this again - my hope is that they do a better job in person!
