This delightful cafe is now on my Go To list of places to go eat whenever I visit the VA Medical Center. The food is good and wholesome...the portions are generous...and the prices are reasonable. The server we had was cheerful and attentive. We also like the atmosphere and the cheerful camaraderie we observed between the servers and obviously regular, if not daily regular customers to this fine little café....which wasn't surprising.
We will definitely return. 😋😁
Amazing service and amazing food at a reasonable price. I got the chicken fried chicken breakfast with biscuits and gravy instead of toast and it was delicious
I haven’t been here in years. It’s still very good food! Just a down home cafe with great comfort food! The gravy for the fried steaks and biscuits is awesome! I came with 3 other family members. All our food arrived hot, at the same time, and just like we ordered it.
Note: For parties of more than 4 it might be a little tricky on a weekend.
We've been coming here for 30 years. Great spot for a home style breakfast! Food is always perfect. Staff is amazing. Highly recommend a stop in.
Haven't been here since I was a kid. Felt good to try it as an adult and everything was cooked just how I like it.
The people are what makes this place special. The food is your standard diner with some mexican flavor. The coffee was the best diner coffee I've ever had.
This place seems to have regulars who the staff know by name. They made me feel very welcome and at home. I'd like to go back soon.
Customer service and food are always amazing. I used to go to places like this with my parents as a kid, now I’m doing the same with my kids! Highly recommended
The menu reminds me of the ones from the 70s. Hot roast beef sandwiches and mashed potatoes, and delicious chicken fried steak. Yummy comfort foods.
Great service!! Teresa was wonderful and so happy and pleasant. First time here. I will be returning 🤗

I've been eating at Ajo Cafe for decades. Despite the age of the place, you are going to get a tasty, filling meal at a great price. They offer the staples of the working class, a variety of breakfast foods (they open at 6AM) burgers, sandwiches and hot meals like chicken fried steak or meatloaf.
My bride had the meatloaf, which she says was flavorful. It was, to her a bit dry, but she did not want the gravy. Her loss. She opted to substitute fries over the mashed potatoes, which were cooked just right. My green Chile burger was excellent, juicy and tasty.
Ajo Cafe has made a name for itself with homemade pies. it is always a great way to top off a meal with a slice of cream or fruit pie. They are smooth and extraordinary. This time, I chose the coconut cream, my bride got a pecan. She devoured hers before I could get a pictures, but mine is posted. (I took the pic at home after it suffered the indignity of being rattled in a take-out box, it looks much better on a plate.) YUMMM
Now that COVID is mellowing down, seating is better but the crowds are coming back. Ajo Cafe has always been a bit small, so plan on maybe a bit of a wait.
Lastly, I wanted to add a bit about our waitress, Teresa. She is such a sweetie; helpful, pleasant and possessing the energy of a hummingbird, all the while bantering with customers, making them feel so welcome.
