Cheff Che Cafe & Bar — Restaurant in San Jose

An amazing atmosphere, from the moment you are enter you are greeted by a relaxing dim lit space, while wheel chair accessibility may be hindered by the narrow nature of the hall the place does offer outdoor seating, we started our meal with a coffee, I had a try at the kids meal the French fries and toast and I’m glad to say, quality is present even in kids dishes. Then my dish came the Crab, prawn, avocado. The crab and prawn cake on top of the English muffin topped with a garnish and avocado and a hollandais sause. Do not be fooled by the scale relative to the plate every dish that was presented was impressive in presentation and taste. I then had a try for desert at the berry crepe, the flavor not only was pleasant but I personally felt like I was transported to a walk on the side of a pond in spring the strawberry in the crepe added texture to the paste giving it a refreshing crunch and gushing flavor that elevated the dish far beyond your standard presentation you see in conventional crepes. Overall this place is a must have to anyone looking for a quality treat in San Jose I can guarantee you will enjoy this American latin...

Stumbled upon this place because Breakfast Club down the street had an hour long wait ON A MONDAY. But I’m so happy that I did. This place is a new gem. Used to be mimosas but Julio and Oscar came in to shake things up. We were guided to their specials menu which has a few very unique breakfast items. I got the Huevos a la Paisa, eggs linguica sausage PLANTAINS and refried beans. I’m used to getting skimped on how much sausage comes with breakfast for the upcharge, but this thing covered damn near half of the plate. The plantains are a first for me with breakfast. I love having them sliced as a little snack but used as a sub for potatoes is not only creative but super tasty. Besides my main dish we got empanadas, which is what this crew made themselves known for during the pandemic. We had chicken empanadas with a top tier mole sauce as a starter and for dessert CHURRO empanadas with ice cream ! Must try. Ordered a few of their other empanadas to go. They have vegetarian options. This place is the one that should have a wait. Next time I’ll try the giant mimosas they have.

P.s....

There is a plethora of options. They have standard fare, like tuna melts and scrambles. The sides of fries and hash browns are ginormous.

They have Mexican twists on brunch classics but also regular Mexican burritos, chilaquiles. Even for drinks, they have many fun choices. For example, they have three types of alcoholic coffee, including a Mexican coffee with tequila and Bailey’s.

I shared eggs ahogado and an eggs benedict with my friend. The eggs ahogado was so chock full of goodies: many slices of avocado, sausages, potatoes, fried cheese, and of course the poached eggs. I will say the poached eggs were a lot overcooked. The eggs benedict were perfect though.

They have about twenty or so flavors of empanadas here. I got the banana and nutella one because banana desserts are the best. I wasn’t a big fan; the shell was super dry. I was kind of interested in some of the other flavors like arroz con leche but there were so many desserts to try, I don’t think I would get another empanada. In terms of banana desserts, they have Banana Fosters French toast and a...
