" I was excited to visit La Catedral Cafe after hearing numerous recommendations, but it wasn't quite as I imagined. The lines were long, and while that is arguably a good sign, the food was subpar on that occasion. My chilaquiles lacked flavor, and the service felt rushed. I appreciate the efforts of the staff, but I hope my next visit will be improved. The atmosphere is still lovely, which is what may encourage me to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" La Catedral Cafe is an experience unlike any other! The atmosphere is cozy; I felt like stepping back into Mexico. The chilaquiles were phenomenal and truly beat out competitors in the area. I also loved the immersive environment—it felt like a local gathering space. My meal was served quickly, despite the weekends being busy. However, I did experience some confusion with the order at the beginning, but the staff quickly addressed it. They’re well-trained and really make an effort to ensure you have a great experience. I will definitely return hourly for this incredible gem! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had brunch at La Catedral Cafe last weekend and it was fantastic! Super lively atmosphere with beautiful decor. I went for the traditional chilaquiles which were amazing and packed with flavor! Service was quick and accommodating; everyone was very friendly. Highly recommend the Cafe de Olla—it adds a perfect touch to the meal. I will definitely return, but I recommend getting there early as the wait can be long! " (*Curated Review*)

" Just had a delightful brunch at La Catedral Cafe! The moment we walked in, we were welcomed so warmly by the staff. I went for chilaquiles with red sauce and they were incredible—full of flavor and spice just as they should be. Their Cafe de Olla is legendary and did not disappoint! I will definitely return for more. Not to mention, the atmosphere is so inviting and lively. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a meal with friends! Highly recommend this place to anyone in the area.

" I stopped at La Catedral Cafe for breakfast and was charmed by the decoration—the place genuinely looks like a lovely cathedral. I ordered the red chilaquiles and was a bit taken aback; some chips didn’t seem crispy enough. The serving size was hefty, and the flavor was pretty good overall. Amazing cafe de olla, it's a must-have! I appreciate the warm service here, though a little more attention wouldn't hurt. All in all, a nice place to eat with friends. " (*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*)
