" Wow, just wow! I didn't know what to expect coming to Buendia, but they blew my mind! For starters, the coffee served in those cute ceramic cups was a lovely touch. Our waiter even suggested we try the dulce de leche pancakes. Unforgettable! The vibe is eclectic, yet cozy, making it the perfect space to unwind with friends. I can't wait to show off this place to others the next time I’m in town! " (*Curated Review*)

" This cafe was a delightful find! The aesthetics were inviting, bursting with joy. I tried the chilaquiles with both salsas, and it was delicious yet comforting in its simplicity. The servings were great, but the place does get cramped. It doesn't matter, because the food and friendly service definitely outweigh the cons. Will be recommending to friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't express how lovely the experience was at Buendia. Everything felt like a little slice of Mexico. The servers were so joyful, adding to the atmosphere. I had the breakfast burrito with green salsa, and it was heavenly. Definitely worth the wait, just be prepared for a small place that gets busy quickly! But trust me, the flavors will keep you coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried Buendia for breakfast today. The staff were very attentive and happy to help. The atmosphere was warm, making me feel at home. Small space, but packed with character. The coffees were good! The chilaquiles did not have the wow factor I was hoping for, but overall a great experience. I will give it another shot soon; price-wise, it’s perfect for a casual brunch. " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed a lovely brunch at Buendia! The vibe was so comfortable, felt like having brunch with family. I went for the chilaquiles, while my friend opted for the breakfast burrito. Both were delightful! The only catch? A bit of a wait for a table, but what popular spot doesn't have that? This is a place to visit if you love home-cooked Mexican meals! " (*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*)
