Good food, nice staff, cozy place. The restaurant does need decorative upgrading but that's my opinion. The food is good.

I'm a regular and quite confident that you'll LOVE Miguel's food! I haven't tried the whole menu yet but everything I've ever had there has been SMACK DAB DELICIOUS!!! Miguel is living the American Dream of being independent, working hard and sharing his passion with every guest who visits. And if you like your cuisine served with sunshine and smiles, Kayla will do you right. She's the waitress with the beautiful eyes and glowing smile. You're gonna like this!!!

Nice little spot for breakfast. Got a little hot inside after a while but decent prices and good size servings... definitely will try it out again but probably not during 90* weather. Over all. Great place.

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!

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.

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.
