Great food and service. Air conditioning can use some help but I fought through the warmth to enjoy a great breakfast!

Love this place. Very cozy and delicious food! I really enjoy the breakfast burritos because they are made with home fries and they put more ingredients than just the basic ones you get from Alberto's right down the street. The service is excellent so I highly recommend El Cerrito Cafe on your way to work!

Omg!!! I ordered the chilaquiles plate. It came with a side of beans and loved that fact that they were topped off with queso fresco instead of cheddar,potatoes and two eggs not to mention that they make the chilaquiles with pork and chile verde... IT WAS DELICIOUS! Service and ambience was great. Looks like a familia owned place! Love it! Come and support. I'm not pretty sure but I think it's open only for breakfast and lunch! Definitely going to back!!!

I've known about this place for years but never given it a shot because the outside of it looks like a saloon that had closed down. Definitely don't judge a book by its cover, this place was amazing! Despite the look from the outside, you walk into a home-like little diner. From the moment my husband and I stepped inside, it felt like we were at a family members house for a meal. The service we received from Marisa was incredibly kind, fast and attentive. The food was out of this world!! My husband is not a fan of chilaquiles but he wouldn't keep his hands off mine. The flavor in the chilaquiles is so impressive! My husband ordered the chorizo and eggs plate and licked his plate clean. We also got a chocolate chip pancake that was so fluffy on the inside and crisp on the outside. It was PERFECT.

This place is a hidden gem. The food was amazing- truly authentic Mexican food. The customer service was wonderful. My husband had the chilaquiles verdes and they were the best we have tasted. I had the el cerrito breakfast burrito and boy was it delicious. All in all highly recommend this place, we will definitely be coming back!

I'm Back! this time for take out. And if the food taste just as good that way... let's just say I got my burrito again and it hit even better! But I noticed it's Menudo day and I never get the chance to try it but today was that day and my god! The Caldo is so rich and full of flavor. I love menudo and not many can get it right but wow... Miguel... the Menudo gods are watching over you brother! Keep it up sir! Waiters were very polite and made sure I left with everything I neede. I'll definitely keep coming back!

What a hidden gem!!! I used to drive by this place twice a day (to and from) on my drive to work. Always wanted to stop but they were only open in the morning. When I walked in today, I was greeted with a cheery hello and seated quickly. I was alone, so I already knew I wanted a chicken sandwich. It came with the crispest iceberg lettuce salads with fresh veggies. It was fantastic. My sandwich was HUGE! And the bread it was served on was so soft and toasty delicious. I also found out the do mimosas and beer. I've found that little hole in the wall that was truly adorable. Can't wait to take my family back. Oh btw... I was excited to think I had the other half of my sandwich still, but when I came back to the fridge after cleaning the house, I only found the empty box! My son "jacked" me. So it looks like the trip back is likely to be sooner than later.
