This morning the wife and I decided we would try Loco Cafe for the first time. I must say, we were not impressed. We both ordered the Moco Loco, which although the posted menu said it was stacked, caught us both off guard when the dish arrived. I would describe it more as a mixed pile of food rather than stacked. The only thing not smothered in gravy was the biscuit.
The sausage patty, which I can only assume was pork, contained so much garlic that it overpowered any other flavors it may have had. The "hashbrowns" were actually an under cooked version of cottage fries made from redskin potatoes. While my wife commented that her poached eggs were perfectly cooked, my over-medium eggs were actually over-hard. But then, who could really tell since everything was covered with a blanket gravy.
The biscuits were unusual, to say the least. Large, rectangular in shape, and flaky thanks to the way the dough was folded before the biscuits were cut. While I felt the flavor and texture was okay, they reminded me of biscuits made with a mix rather than from scratch (as did the gravy). The wife did not care for them. And although we were asked by the young man taking our order what kind of butter we wanted, none was delivered with the order.
Since this was our first time at Loco Cafe, I certainly cannot judge this restaurant's lunch fare. And I will say that we might enjoy some of their other breakfast dishes. But based on the quality of what we had today and the impersonal, self-order style of service reminiscent of a fast food joint, I do not think we will be returning...
Read moreCame in to pickup and Uber eats delivery. Walked around the counter and found a shelf with my Uber eats customer’s name on it. The waitress standing there very shortly told me deliveries are placed on a different shelf by the coffee bar. I was alarmed that she was so snippy with me as I almost never have that issue at pickups. I mentioned that there was no sign to indicate that and then waited by the supposed pickup area. She brought the food almost right after and told me actually there is a sign by the door. I told her it may not be a good one if I couldn’t find the pickup area. She was incredibly rude. Short, black hair, tan. Again this was in the morning. I went to the front to find the sign and there was a sign by the door that looked like a menu or specials sign that mentioned waiting for deliveries by the coffee bar at the bottom. Not clear at all. I have never had such a rude experience with a staff during a pickup, they are always kind and helpful. Put up a better sign and train your staff to not be snotty with people, especially the Uber eats drivers as we help your business. I also tried calling to address the issue with someone else at the restaurant but the line was busy every time I tried to call. I will not be back here to pickup your orders, I’ll tell the other drivers I know about my experience as well, and I certainly won’t be...
Read moreVery unhappy with my experience here. They are awalk up pay first at the counter resturant masquerading as casual brunch . We order a dynamo combo and johnny attack 2 drink and coffee cake. We sat at our table eating our coffee cake waiting. Cafe was not super busy when we arrives but quickly filled up. We wait a fair amount of time for our food both of us finished the coffee cake and our drinks. when they bring it out packaged to go, we were confused since we never asked for Togo and we were sitting at a table enjoying coffee leasierly. We looking around weconfused thinking maybe this is how they serve food nope other people who arrived after us had food that was plated . I asked the cashier why our food was packaged Togo she was confused also. Their solution is to try to hand us plates and so we can plate it ourselves. I was offended cause it has a feeling of leave now. I am sorry paying $50+ for a breakfast I expect better service then a sketchy burger king. I was having anxiety issues this interaction was stressing me out and left the restaurant. My boyfriend settled with the manger and got a refund, we left the food. Very disappointed how this turned out since I was orginally very excited to try since they had not common breakfast items like johnny cakes. The coffee cake...
