Came in from out of town and this is my new favorite place when I visit. I ordered the big boy breakfast not realizing how big the meal actually was (I’m not someone who eats this big of a meal usually) but everything was so good I came so close to eating it all. The cafe de olla was perfect, right amount of sweetness too. The pancakes were delicious, ham was huge! Toast, eggs, salsa, potatoes all very good. 10/10 would recommend!

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.

This location is definitely my favorite! The food and service are always so good. The portions are awesome. This most recent trip it was a bit loud and hard to hear my partner but overall we had a great time.

Great place to eat. Will definitely come back. Should put the prices on the menu though so people aren't so shocked they get the bill. Would highly recommend. Everything was delicious

We ordered on line and picked it up to go. Good was fantastic and the game who help us when we picked it up was friendly and professional. The place locked very nice although we didn't stay and eat inside.

I came here alone to try there well known chilaquiles. There was a line out the door but the wait wasn’t long. Great service, the ambience was laid back and melo. Server was excellent with recommendations and knows the menu well. He even mentioned “adding steak could be a little pricey but would be well worth it” Don’t skip “cafe de olla” it really makes a difference. I got the chipotle chilaquiles with arachera and it was everything I craved and some. Do not always go by reviews TRY IT GOR YOURSELF!

We stopped by Caramelo Cafe at 1447 Valinda Ave and from the second we walked in, it felt welcoming. The staff greeted us with real smiles, not forced, and stayed attentive the whole time. They checked in just enough to make sure we were good without interrupting our meal. That kind of service goes a long way. The decor is clean and nicely done, modern but still warm and comfortable. It feels put together without trying too hard. The dining area was tidy, tables spaced well, and the overall vibe was relaxed. We ordered cafe de olla and it came out hot and fresh with that rich cinnamon aroma that hits you right away. Smooth, flavorful, and the perfect way to start the meal. Each of us ordered the Huevos Rancheros with chipotle sauce, and that sauce took it over the top. Smoky, bold, and just the right amount of heat without overpowering the eggs. The tostadas were perfectly crunchy and held everything together without getting soggy. Every bite had great balance. What I also liked is this location isn’t as crowded as the other nearby one. We were seated right away, which honestly surprised me in a good way. No long wait, no chaos, just steady service and good food. Overall, solid spot with friendly people and flavors that deliver. Definitely worth coming back to.
