“ Salsa sucks. Tastes like canned tomatoes. Guac is great. Food was better when it was cooked outside. ”
“ Do NOT let the humble appearance deter you! Cafe 52 is one of the most reliable casual restaurants in the neighborhood, with amazing no frills food, solid margaritas and friendly service (and if these aren't enough reasons, all at an amazingly reasonable price!). Every time I eat at Cafe 52 I wanna go meet the chef and thank them for the amazing meal--that's how much passion they put in their food! I could honestly eat at Cafe 52 multiple times a day, many times a week because they offer a wide range of brunch options, salads, sandwiches, burgers throughout the day and PHENOMENAL Mexican offerings in the evening (until past midnight) at their outside griddle and Al pastor roasting pit barrel. I could go on and on about why Cafe 52 is a must-try, but I'll just end with--don't forget to get their chicken tenders freshly made in house!!! ”
“ Es super rica y deliciosa la comida ! No puedo dejar de venir aquí, los desayunos son exquisito. 100% El mejor lugar de la zona. Café 52. ”
“ First time ever stopping here and I must say I will be back!! Carolina our waitress was super sweet and very attentive. The food was amazing and very filling. The atmosphere was cute and the music was very nostalgic. It was my moms birthday and Carolina gave her a sweet surprise by playing music and having her blow out a candle. Thank you so much for such an amazing first time ”
“ At the risk of hipsters flocking and raising my gf's rent, Cafe 52 has become one of my go-to chill and recommendation spots. Apart from the usual Mexican faire, try the cecina tacos. It's not on the menu, I think they added it after the menus were printed. The meat is really juicy with the right amount of give. All prepared on the spindle outside for your local neighborhoodly pleasure. I don't particularly enjoy drinking at restaurants anymore, given my age and the current economy but I'll take any reason to enjoy their micheladas. It's hot sauce, not tomato, based and one of the most cohesive tasting micheladas I've ever had. I think the quality varies depending on the bartender but either way, I'm a sucker for a cool beverage and outdoor dining. It's right under the train, so be be prepared for the occasion conversation breaker but that occasional breeze in this unprecedented heat makes it worth it. ”
“ No frills type of restaurant. Breakfast is always consistent. Nothing amazing but good. Came here for breakfast and I got the breakfast platter and my gf the shrimp and grits. We were both satisfied. Service was quick. ”
“ I did NOT expect the food to taste as good as it was. The atmosphere was giving a very local diner no frills ambiance with nothing special and it was also empty so I didn't expect much. But the quality is definitely there. The salmon eggs Benedict were very satisfying and tasted fresh. It was a little bit on the sour side though but it was still delicious and would get it again. Those shrimp and grits???? To die for. The shrimp itself was very fresh and well cooked as well. The only thing I'd say is that the cappuccino I got wasn't the best. But other than that no complaints at all. Price range isn't too bad either very reasonable. The service was very friendly, patient and attentive as well. Did not expect to come back again but I definitely will. Check this place out!! ”
“ I had their croissant and cappuccino. Both the croissant and cappuccino was on point ! flakey, crispy, soft. Cappuccino was not too overpowering either. ”
“ This review is for deliveries. I am a pretty consistent user of Grubhub to order Cafe 52. I love pretty much everything that they make and it always arrives on time. Some favorites: -BBQ bacon burger -chicken wing dings -Steak salad -hummus and pita -fries with a side of garlic mayo Everything is good. I recommend trying them out. ”
