“ Tastiest food I've had all year! Super fresh ingredients, large portions, and really reasonably priced. Cozy atmosphere and really courteous and helpful staff. Can't recommend it more! ”

“ I was in the New York area in January 2025. Looked for a place on Yelp for breakfast nearby and found Cafe Xochimilco. There was a review where someone said they were a Los Angeles native, and this place exceeded her expectations. Okay, I said. That sounds like legit Mexican food, not Mexican American food. My friend (Venezuelan American) and I headed over. I tried the following: - Huevos con Salsa Verde (Eggs with Green Sauce) - Flan (for Dessert) Food was delicious! Service was friendly (and they speak Spanish)! Ambiance is casual! ENJOY! ”

“ Absolutely stunning food, incredible service, and lovely ambiance!!! I was really blown away here. Soft piano music played in this well-lit cafe as my friend and I sat in the corner, creating a peaceful environment for our meal. We started off splitting an order of nachos Al pastor, and they were to DIE for. The meat was fresh and flavorful, perfect amount of all ingredients on top, and the cheese was perfectly melted to create genuinely some of the best if not the best nachos I've ever had. My friend had the burrito and they said it was great, I went for the burger and notably it is a HUGE burger with jalapeños, avocado, and an egg on top. The burger was outstanding, and the fries were excellent as well! Can't say enough good things, will be back for sure. Our server was wonderful. Also, notably, we didn't see horchatas on the menu but asked if they had them and oh boy the horchata was delicious. I find horchatas can often be too sweet and this one had the perfect balance of flavor! ”

“ Such a cute little restaurant! I definitely would recommend for brunch. I didn't love what I ordered however I tried the other dishes that my friends ordered and loved them. The French toast was the best! ”

“ A Hidden Gem for Authentic Mexican Breakfast at Café Xochimilco! If you're in Long Island City, New York and craving authentic Mexican food, look no further than Café Xochimilco! As a Los Angeles native, I was skeptical about finding good Mexican cuisine in the city, but this place exceeded my expectations. I ordered the Azteca Desayuno, which was packed with flavor and authenticity. But I got full with the eggs and beans so didn't even touch the rice. To complement our meal, I enjoyed the classic café de olla, which was perfectly brewed and added a cozy touch to our morning. Our server, Antonia, was incredibly sweet and attentive, making our visit even more enjoyable. Despite the café getting busy on a Tuesday morning, our food arrived quickly, showcasing their efficient service. Café Xochimilco is a must-visit for anyone looking for delicious Mexican breakfast dishes in NYC. We'll definitely be back for more before we head home. ”

“ Went here one day while I was in the neighborhood and I was definitely not disappointed. It is a very small but cozy cafe. The server I had that morning was mediocre as I had to keep asking for everything (utensils, water, napkins, sugar for coffee, etc). However, the food here is very legit. It is very fresh, flavorful, and authentic Mexican. Ordered avocado toast (with no egg) - was only one piece of toast. However, the avocado was extremely fresh and flavorful. Also got the huevos con chorizo (eggs with Mexican sausage) which came with rice and beans. It was so flavorful. I was advised the owner is from Mexico City. I highly recommend and would definitely visit again. ”

“ Food - Big portions! - Someone in my group got the torta and had nothing but great things to say about it - I had the chilaquiles which was also good! Very big portion and shareable between two people if both of y'all aren't that hungry - Leche flan wasn't bad! I liked that it wasn't overly sweet. Service - Very friendly and attentive! Ambiance - Casual - Lots of seating - Restroom was relatively clean - Good for catching up with friends and large groups! ”

“ This spot is the place to go for brunch! We arrived on a Sunday late AM, and there was a constant flow of tables turning over and people coming to get food for takeaway. We did have to ask twice for our beverage, but that's a small price to pay for greatness. I got the green sauce chilaquiles with eggs, and it was a great way to start my day. Casual, bright vibe. ”

“ Overall this is a great place for breakfast/lunch, the chilaquiles are worth the hype!! It's a small cafe but it wasn't crowded on a weekday. I believe they'll come take your order from your table but we just ordered at the counter. Chilaquiles were delicious. Chips were actually crunchy and not soft, despite the generous amount of sauce. The al pastor was great, but I wish I had just gotten chorizo or steak. My friend's breakfast burrito looked delicious as well. We both only finished half of our meals. Service was wonderful, super friendly. Only downside it felt like it took forever (~20min) for our food to arrive, but at least it came fresh! ”

“ I did a pickup order by calling and they were ready within 15 minutes. Shrimp tacos: shrimp was so tender and while it seemed pricey, this was worth it. Similar level as chela and garnacha, but the latter might still be one level better. Chicken crispy tacos: they are like 4 rolled taquitos(?) And while not bad, I wouldn't get again. I did appreciate the refreshing lettuce along with the rice and beans. Everyone liked the beans. Breakfast burrito: I was a little hesitant by the presence of rice in this, but it worked so well together - they don't put that much rice in it and the combination of everything else in the burrito worked well together. They have red (spicier) and green sauce, but also a chipotle sauce that comes with a kick (liked this the most). ”
