Suerte Cafe has become one of those regular spots for me and my wife. Small, cozy, and comfortable — the kind of place where you can actually sit, eat, and enjoy your morning without feeling rushed. We usually order the same thing every time: the bacon breakfast burrito, pancakes, and a vanilla iced coffee. When it’s done right, it’s honestly some of the best breakfast you’ll find around here. Here’s the real feedback, because this place is very close to being top-tier. The burrito and the coffee are noticeably better when the gentleman there makes them. The burrito hits best when it’s **not drenched in sauce**, and the coffee is perfect when it’s **not overly sweet** — both of which he seems to dial in just right. The pancakes, on the other hand, are usually great when the ladies make them — fluffy and on point. You can tell the skill is there across the board. They just need a little more consistency between each other so every order tastes like the best version every time. That alone would elevate the whole experience. Same thing with busy mornings. Everyone is clearly working hard, but without clearly defined roles, it can get a little chaotic. Orders can take longer than they should or small things get missed. With some tighter coordination during rushes, this place would run like a machine. Prices are a tad on the higher side, but honestly, that’s everywhere these days — and when the food comes out right, it’s worth it. Overall, we still really like this spot and keep coming back. Suerte Cafe is very, very close to locking in that final 10% that would make it exceptional. Definitely recommend trying it. Get the bacon breakfast burrito, pancakes, and a vanilla iced coffee and you’ll see what I mean.

I’ve been ordering from here for years prior to the recent revamp, but I’m really loving the new menu! The food is still delicious as ever (the meats are SO GOOD), there are plenty of vegetarian options, and the plating is always really pretty when we order to dine-in. The prices are fair and the deals make everything even more worth it. The coffee is delicious and we’ve been having fun trying the different flavors. This is my go-to spot for brunch/lunch right now. Highly recommend!!!

I wanted to check out this cozy, modern Mexican restaurant. It has very welcoming vibes, and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. I had a breakfast burrito that had potatoes, eggs, bacon, and chipotle sauce with a horchata latte and my friend got nachos and horchata. The portion was good, and I liked their spicy salsa. Four days later, I went back for the same menu in the morning as they open early at 7 am. I sense I’ll return many more times.

I visited this restaurant with my wife for breakfast and we are so happy to recommend it, great Mexican food. I had the chilaquiles con huevos, super good with a delicious salsa. My wife had the pancakes and we both loved them. Great coffee, and other authentic Mexican dishes. Excellent customer service, clean restrooms and nice music. They have $0.99 Taco Tuesday and Thursday!

I use to come to this place when it was tacos place, but it appears the owner recently remodeled it and changed up the menu. First time back and I ordered the Breakfast burrito and my buddies ordered the Avocado Toast. It was very good, and nicely priced. I do like the remodeled, feels very cozy and modern which I like. Food was good and I will definitely come back. I would recommend to anyone looking for some good food and cozy feel.
