" Everything about Buendia Breakfast & Lunch Café was delightful! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere. The decorations remind me of a traditional Mexican home, with vibrant colors and charming details. I ordered the chilaquiles divorciados, and they were scrumptious! The perfect balance between the red and green salsas made each bite a flavor explosion. To top it off, the staff made us feel like family. I can't wait to bring my friends here next time we're in Tucson! " (*Curated Review*)

" Yesterday's brunch at Buendia was impressive! Our group had a mix of dishes ranging from huevos rancheros to vegan tacos. Each one was distinctly flavorful, showcasing true Mexican authenticity. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the huevos rancheros — so well seasoned! The only downer was the long wait, but honestly, it felt like a fun part of the experience as we chatted while sipping their delicious coffee. Definitely adding this to my brunch rotation! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, this place might become my new favorite breakfast stop. Everything from the vibrant decor to the friendly staff made the experience positive. I had their breakfast burrito with chorizo, and wow, the flavors were spot on! It felt so generous, and the presentation was thoughtful. I will definitely be coming back soon to try their other offerings. Such a lovely spot to enjoy authentic Mexican food without the fluff! " (*Curated Review*)

" Buendia is a delightful spot for breakfast! I brought my family for a Sunday brunch, and we were all impressed. The kids loved their pancakes, while I enjoyed the vegan chilaquiles. The flavors were incredible, and the beans on the side were so creamy. It's the little things that count; I can't get over how nice the waitstaff was! They really cater to your every need, adding a personal touch to the whole experience. I highly recommend the cinnamon iced tea, a refreshing twist! " (*Curated Review*)

" After many recommendations, I finally visited Buendia Cafe, and wow, it did not disappoint! The food was bursting with authentic flavors that made me feel like I was enjoying a meal at home in Mexico. I had the chilaquiles, and they were perfectly made. The service was top-notch, and they made us feel welcomed. An overall great experience, though it was quite busy and crowded. I will surely be coming back to savor more dishes! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance of Buendia is absolutely charming! It feels intimate and cozy, reminiscent of a home kitchen. I ordered the stuffed poblano and absolutely loved the seasoning. My only complaint would be that the dish was a bit on the smaller side for the price I paid. Overall, an excellent dining experience. I can't wait to come back and explore their other offerings on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Disappointed after my visit. I had heard so much about how great this place is, but my experience was a bit underwhelming. The service was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated, but the food didn't meet my expectations. I ordered the stuffed poblano pepper, and while it was decent, I felt it lacked the bold flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine. The atmosphere was cute but so small that we felt cramped. I may give it another shot since the staff seemed so nice, but I won’t rush back. " (*Curated Review*)
