Café Alex — Restaurant in Oaxaca

Today was my third day here having breakfast. My first two days the experience was positive but today’s experience was poor and as such I won’t be returning which is a loss to the restaurant as I would of eaten here for a further four more days.

I ordered meal 10 on their menu which comes with toast. My toast didn’t arrive even after I finished my fruit so I asked for the toast. When I went to pay I was charged extra for butter and jam even though I didn’t order this. I would of been happy to pay if the older gentleman who I assume is the manager has been more polite about the situation. It wasn’t even about the extra charge, it was how the situation was handled. He made me wait until he had spoken to the waiter about if I ordered the jam and butter. Obviously the waiter said I ordered it, clearly as he didn’t want to get into trouble. After a back and forth conversation the manager eventually agreed to waive the charge for the jam and butter. I thought this would be the end of it however when I gave my credit card over to pay, the manager with an attitude asked me for cash and wouldn’t take my card.

This is a traditional Mexican eatery, with a few western twists if desired... We were so pleased that we return the next morning and again for approx.$60pesos each had a full breakfast of fruit juice or fruit salad scrambled eggs with pan fried potatoes and bacon and coffee. We enjoyed both meals and will...

My partner and l went to Cafe Alex today for brunch/ lunch. Most menu items were 130-140 pesos. Coffee was offered, and a basket of rolls (assorted) were brought to the table. Once we ordered, juice was brought. The food was alright, but not fantastic. The potatoes that came on my partners plate were particularly awful (tasted like they were leftover from the night before, hard and lukewarm at best.) We probably won’t return. It seemed a bit pricey, but the breads, juice and coffee included in the price was a real bonus, making it feel...
