" I used to love this place, but recently the service has dipped. The food still maintains its authentic flair, but waiting for long periods can be frustrating. If they can improve their service, it would truly be a five-star experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" The café has a nice vibe, and the traditional dishes are excellent. I did experience some issues with service speed. I would still recommend it for the homey taste of the food. Perfect for a laid-back lunch or breakfast. " (*Curated Review*)

" Café Iris is the perfect breakfast spot! Delicious and authentic flavors are packed into every dish. I highly recommend the ranchero eggs; they were spectacular! Although the wait can sometimes feel long, the restaurant's charm and character make it a lovely place to dine. Will be returning for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Café Iris was delightful! The ambiance felt warm and welcoming. The tortillas served with the meal were freshly made, which really stood out. I enjoyed my time here, despite the slow service. It's worth the wait for genuine Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had dinner at Café Iris and was thoroughly disappointed. The food tasted bland and not fresh, which was surprising given the positive reviews. The service was slow, and the waitress seemed disinterested. I expected more from a restaurant known for its homemade style. I won't be returning anytime soon unless they improve. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love this place! Every meal feels like being back home. The authenticity in their cooking is apparent – every dish tastes exactly how it should. The prices are reasonable, too, which is a plus. Just be prepared that sometimes you might wait a bit for your food, but it’s definitely worth it. " (*Curated Review*)

" Great atmosphere and the food is tasty! The chilaquiles were pretty good, albeit a little watery as mentioned in other reviews. Low prices make it appealing, though the service should be more attentive. All in all, a solid choice for Mexican cuisine. " (*Curated Review*)
