Verdict: Our expert take on Flor De Café & Ma's Tacos
Food (8.7 out of 10)
mentioned by 100% of the guests
When it comes to the food here, youre in for a treat! With an impressive score of 8.7 and customer satisfaction soaring at 92.8%, the culinary experience is overwhelmingly excellent. Out of 97 comments, a whopping 90 rave about the delicious Lomito sandwich, homemade bread, and perfectly balanced flavors, making it a true standout.
While the praise is abundant, theres a single, rather vague negative comment among the 97, hinting at something being missing from the food. However, given the stellar reviews for everything from Chilean empanadas to fresh ingredients, this seems to be an isolated and minor point, barely a blip on an otherwise fantastic food radar.

Service (8.6 out of 10)
mentioned by 66% of the guests
When it comes to service, this place really shines! With an impressive score of 8.6 and customer satisfaction soaring at 93.3%, its clear guests are consistently delighted. Many of the 28 positive comments highlight the incredibly friendly staff, quick service, and attentive waiters, often praising the nice owners who make everyone feel welcome.
However, its not entirely without a hiccup. A couple of the 30 experiences mentioned concerns about waiting time, with one guest experiencing a significant delay and a forgotten item. It seems that on rare occasions, the mom and pop operation might feel a bit overwhelmed, leading to these isolated incidents.

- man running itI love places like this. The man running it was extremely kind, and he suggested I try their signature sandwich. It was incredible -- perhaps a little heavy on mayo, but if I'm going for a sandwich loaded with pig fat why not.
Frequently criticized
- mom and popthis mom and pop just seemed overwhelmed
- waiting timeAbout 25 minutes later, we got two of them, and they somehow forgot the third. Had to wait another 10 mins for that. So, about 40 minutes
Overall, the service here is a major highlight, with overwhelmingly positive feedback on the friendly and efficient staff. While there might be an occasional wait, it's definitely a place worth trying if you value a warm and attentive dining experience.
Ambience (7.9 out of 10)
mentioned by 50% of the guests
The ambience here truly shines, earning a good score of 7.9 and an impressive 89.5% customer satisfaction! With 17 positive remarks out of 19 total, guests frequently praise the cozy chairs, interesting arts, and warm decor. Many describe it as a clean and low key neighborhood spot with a pleasant atmosphere and plenty of seating for comfort.
However, theres one minor point to consider. A single opinion noted the absence of alcohol, suggesting it might not be your go-to brunchy/Mimosa place. If youre looking for a relaxed spot without a bar, this could be perfect, but it's worth keeping in mind if you prefer a drink with your meal.

Amazing Breakfast Burrito & Great Service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! I had one of the most delicious breakfast burritos I've ever eaten. The combination of eggs, chorizo, and beans in the burrito was simply amazing, with all the flavors blending perfectly.
The coffee was also a perfect combination with the burrito. The service was remarkable, with super friendly staff and very quick service, although it was noted that there were few customers at the time of my order. Additionally, the prices were highly reasonable.

Cozy spot with amazing food!
My experience at this restaurant was wonderful! I loved the cozy atmosphere, with comfortable chairs on Valencia Street and interesting art inside. The staff was incredibly gentle.
The food was absolutely AMAZING! I particularly enjoyed the Birria in any plate and the Lomito sandwich was divine. The owner, a nice guy from Chile with extensive travel experience, shared great stories.
I enjoyed an Italian coffee with a grilled cheese, making for a happy Monday.

Amazing Food and Service!
My experience at this restaurant on New Year's Day was incredibly positive. The staff was so incredibly nice, and the food was amazing. I enjoyed the breakfast tacos with vegan picadillo, and my friend loved the regular picadillo plate.
Both dishes were muyyyy rico! The woman behind the counter even gave us a free hot tea, which was so kind. Señora, si estas leyendo este mensaje- muchas gracias por todo!
I highly recommend this place, especially for those with dietary restrictions. The tables are spaced out, making me feel comfortable eating inside.
