Almuerzo Café

Just saw a post on the Facebook page of City of Tustin - Municipal Government and I told my husband we should try this new breakfast and brunch place. I’m so happy we did! The service, the portions, the price and the ambiance were all really very good. Our server, Michael, was very personable and friendly and we wanted to make sure that we left a good review for them. Definitely coming back. Must try if you’re in Tustin. Just try and come early coz they can get really busy after 9am and on weekends.

The menu is good because it offers Mexican food with different ingredients than other restaurants, for example, beans with chorizo or chilaquiles embarazados with chipotle sauce. I really had a good experience, but the sauces that I ate were absolutely hot and spicy. For example, the green chilaquiles or molcajete mar y tierra made my tongue suffer, even though I'm Mexican and I grew up eating chile. My impression is that the spicy and hot sauces are high-level, and the prices are very high; it's very expensive for Mexican food. Also, the waiting time is insane. We waited around 1 hour for a table of 3 people.

Very good sized portions. Ordered chilaquiles embarazados only because I had never head of those. They where good but next time I'll stick to traditional. Service was quick and friendly serverver really went above ans beyond for us during this visit. Will definately be back!

Absolutely gem of a brunch spot in Tustin. They make all the traditional Mexican breakfast dishes with a few twists. The food is absolutely outstanding, and the drinks are incredibly well done. The wait can be a bit long if youre party is big, but they do offer bar seating and takeout. The staff was really above and beyond as well. From the host to our server, the service was top notch.

A friend recommended this spot, and I’m so glad we tried it. The cozy décor, nostalgic music, and welcoming service made it feel like home. The chilaquiles embarazados were delicious—perfectly cooked steak with salsa, pickled onions, and queso fresco. The café de olla with a concha was the perfect touch. This place brought back great memories, and I can’t wait to return with family.
