" A great spot to relax and enjoy authentic Mexican food! The ambiance at La Catedral Cafe is as beautiful as it gets. We went on a Sunday for brunch. The chilaquiles were flavorful, although some chips were a little soft for my taste. I really enjoyed the cafe de olla; it was sweet and aromatic. Service was friendly while they managed a busy restaurant. I will return, as I’m curious about trying their other offerings. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Catedral Cafe is an absolute gem! I visited over the weekend and couldn't have asked for a better brunch experience. The decor sets the perfect mood—it feels homey yet vibrant. I had chilaquiles with both green and red sauce, and they were a masterpiece! Each bite was an explosion of flavor. The service was very attentive, and the food was served promptly despite the busy crowd. I can't rave enough about the Cafe de Olla either—definitely a must-have. Will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I have enjoyed several meals at La Catedral Cafe, my last visit left me feeling a bit underwhelmed. The ambiance is still lovely, filled with eye-catching decor that gives it a unique touch. However, the meal I had did not quite live up to what was expected; I found my chilaquiles to be a tad bland. Thankfully, the service was pleasant, and we got seated quickly. I would recommend trying it for the experience itself, as I know they can normally deliver on flavor. I might give it another chance once I hear from friends about their latest meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried La Catedral and found it to be quite a mixed bag. The decor is stunning and feels very authentic, but my dish was quite oversalted. The chilaquiles were decent when you adjusted for the saltiness, and the staff was attentive and friendly. While I appreciate that they are busy, I hope they can maintain quality as time goes on. I might be back, but I would advise caution to first-timers. " (*Curated Review*)

" I stopped by La Catedral Cafe on a whim after seeing it highly recommended online. The food lived up to the hype—I ordered the mole chilaquiles and they were delicious! I couldn't get enough of that authentic taste paired with the large portion sizes. The decor inside is charming, and they absolutely nailed the ambiance. The cafe de olla is a must-try as well. Even though it was busy, the waitstaff managed to be attentive and friendly. I look forward to returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't usually leave reviews but after dining here, I felt compelled to share my thoughts. We arrived on a busy Saturday and were greeted warmly at the door. The cafe de olla was delicious—definitely the best I've tried in the city! The chilaquiles were also amazing, layered with rich flavors and the perfect texture. The waiting time wasn’t short, but we were entertained by the vibrant decor throughout the space. I highly recommend this place for anybody looking to enjoy authentic Mexican food paired with beautiful ambiance. I will certainly return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our experience at La Catedral Cafe was phenomenal! The decor enchanted us from the moment we walked in. I ordered the traditional chilaquiles and it lived up to the reputation—it was flavorful and perfectly cooked. Service was quick and friendly. The Cafe de Olla was the cherry on top; it was rich and comforting. I highly recommend visiting this gem in Little Village if you want hearty Mexican cuisine. You’ll leave satisfied!
