If you’re in Guadalajara and looking for a quiet spot to grab breakfast or brunch, Cachito Mio in Colonia Americana is worth checking out. It’s a small, low-key place with a colorful, almost playful vibe. The decor leans heavily into handmade touches—bright walls, and a mix of rustic and artsy elements that make the space feel thoughtful without trying too hard. It’s cozy and doesn’t feel overwhelming.
One of the standouts on the menu is the chilaquiles norteños. They come with a generous serving of barbacoa, which adds a rich, savory flavor to the dish. The totopos hold their crunch under the green salsa, and the seasoning is solid—nothing flashy, just well-executed comfort food. It’s the kind of meal that doesn’t need much explanation; it just works.
What really stood out to me, though, was the café de olla. A lot of places serve it, but few get the balance right. Cachito Mio’s version hits all the right notes—just the right amount of sweetness and cinnamon. It’s probably the best I’ve had, which says a lot considering how common this drink is in Mexican cafés.
The service was also on point. Nothing overly chatty or performative—just prompt, polite, and attentive. Orders came out quickly, and the staff was efficient without hovering. That kind of low-effort, competent service goes a long way, especially when you’re just trying to enjoy a quiet meal.
The place isn’t open all day—only until around 2 PM—so it’s strictly a morning or early afternoon option. It’s near Parque Rojo, which makes it easy to find, especially if you’re already walking around that part of the city.
Overall, Cachito Mio doesn’t try to be trendy or overly polished. It’s a solid place with good food, a pleasant setting, and people who know how to run a smooth operation. If you’re after something laid-back with reliable flavors and a relaxed atmosphere, it’s...
Read moreService was good and the food was good. The sauce in the tiny bottle was delicious, Omelete was tasty, beans were cooked well. It wasn't mind blowing or anything but it was a small, clean/healthy feeling brunch (besides the salt and sugar). Chilaquiles were overly salty for our taste and the coffee although I liked the concept (included spices and herbs) I was not able to drink it due to the amount of sugar in it- we are not super sensitive to these things. I bet if I would have asked to remake the coffee he would have but I was feeling a little shy and tired. If I would go again I would ask for way less salt and less sugar in my coffee. In the end if he would have checked to see if we liked our food that may have solved things. Restaurant...
Read moreExcellent restaurant for some authentic chilaquiles.
I ordered the Sonora chilaquiles and added egg and avocado and man it was one of the best chilaquiles that I have ever ordered. Very flavorful and sauce was not too spicy but just right. The meat “machaca sonorense” was very tender and flavorful.
Service was excellent, waiter gave excellent recommendations and was quick to attend to every need.
Ambiance of place is very unique even though place is somewhat small. For order of chilaquiles & chocomilk I paid around ($250 pesos, ~ 13 usd)
all in all excellent restaurant to try some authentic chilaquiles. 10/10 must visit if in...
