Went with a large group. Food was wonderful. (Tasted several omlettes. Tortilla from the taco tasted homemade. Great pancakes.) Nice atmosphere. One of our waitresses got confused about going from separate checks to a single check. Overall, highly recommend. More

I visited So Padre Island for the first time ever for a motorcycle rally in mid April, 2012. The island is very touristy, with many places geared to a younger, 'get your party on', (loud) type of visitor. This little cafe caught our eye, and it was definitely a home-town place. I had migas that were oh-so-excellent, with perfect ratio... More

Open for Breakfast and lunch. Very good food with a few interesting options. Nice & clean. Although on main strip, it is a bit difficult to find. More

Did not enjoy this experience at all! Worst huevos rancheros on the island. Coffee strong enough to register as a weapon. Bored, indifferent help never brought the torilllas. Charged full price for the breakfast special and got upset about having to redo the ticket. There are too many other restaurants on the island - why deal with this More

The food here is excellent for breakfast and lunch. Wonderful large omlets, and very good sandwiches.

We returned at 7AM and the door was unlocked and a... More

We were glad when we found this little gem tucked away in a stip mall. It had wifi, but the wonderful part was the GREAT coffee and delicious food. Breakfast was a treat with homemade torillas and perfect eggs. Wait staff was friendly and attentive. We will definitely return. More

Tried this place for Sunday breakfast despite mixed reviews on Trip advisor. We were not disappointed. Food was hot, coffee had a good flavor and service was great. Wife had Eggs Benedict Florentine which were very tasty with homemade tortillas. I ordered the Western Omelette with toast and home fries. Good quality food and coffee refills offered. Enjoyed the breakfasts... More

My friend and I are vegetarians and it's very hard to find anything good to eat on the island. Even though they didn't have a veggie section on their menu, they did offer more than most restaurants on the island without having to rely on breakfast items only. More
