Huerto Café — Restaurant in Jalisco

At first we were presented with a untoasted bread basket which is nice but no butter only a small thimble full of jam which was very tasty but only enough for 2 two pieces of bread.

I tried the Eggs Benedict, and unfortunately, it was disappointing. The dish lacked flavor, with the bun tasting more like raw dough than a proper English muffin. The ham was incredibly thin, resembling a piece of lunch meat rather than a hearty slice. The Hollandaise sauce tasted like plain egg yolks and added nothing to the flavor. Additionally, my side order of potatoes was supposed to be sautéed, but they were over-fried and almost like potato chips.

My wife got the Italian omelette and it was just a regular omelette with tomato sauce like from a can poured over the top of it, didn't have any kind of cheese for an omelette that's kind of strange..

The price was very expensive for what was offered, and I felt like I needed to go somewhere else to have breakfast afterward. On the positive side, the Americano espresso was enjoyable and the highlight of my meal. Overall, the...

Update for 2022:

Tried Huerto Cafe again this past weekend. Service is substantially improved over previous visits, and food was frankly excellent.

The atmosphere is still charming and welcoming.

Full marks...

Nice setting, good atmosphere, sloppy service

Huerto Cafe is one of those 'Secret Garden' kind of art-cafes you drive past a dozen times without ever noticing. The setting is actually quite charming, given the fact that it's right next to the main Chapala/Yocotepec road.

Coupled with the fact that it took almost 20 minutes to get the first beer, this made for a mixed dining experience.

It's a shame, because this little cafe could really be...

Wow! Love everything about this fantastic lunch spot. Beautiful venue with rotating large format paintings, tons of plants, and almost everytime I've been they have live music, including the immensely talented Black String (Violin & cello/guitar). Great service and there are two lovely cats that sometimes come to your table and sit in the chairs. They also, still, strongly observe COVID protocols.

Claricot, green juice, and cold tea are all excellent.

Guacamole was good, would have been perfect with some freshly ground black pepper.

Lentil soup was the best lentil soup I've had, but did have bacon in it.

Nicoise salad was very good, lots of tuna salad and eggs, tomatoes.

Wild caught salmon with potatoes, beans and onions was really delicious, very nice sauce.

Brisket sandwich was very nice, good...
