Momentos Cafe - Restaurant in La Mesa - 5500 Grossmont Center Dr, USA

Came with my mother to have breakfast for her birthday since she was craving a Mexican tradition meal. I was very happy and satisfied with everything, customer service was great the wait time for the food to come out was only minutes. We ordered sopes and chilaquiles and you can pick any meat for your topping, I also ordered a cafe de olla and it was so good I love how I can taste the cinnamon. I came early but as we left at 11am place was getting full of people, you should come by!

Came down from Temecula to visit my mother who lives in La Mesa. She wanted to take us out to lunch to a place where she's been before and loved. So we ended up here. Nice setup the service was really awesome and the food was absolutely delicious.. My fiance had a vegan plate which is also a plus to have those options. Carne asada burrito was fire and so was the chilaquiles. Definitely will come back again and recommend this place.

So we came here based off of reviews and we happen to be hungry for breakfast and at the mall. I ordered the chilaquiles with and over easy egg. The plate came, and the egg was fried on one side only, and the egg yolk was exposed. I explained that wasn't an over easy egg, she went to the back and the cook told her what I asked for was an over hard egg. I said no it's not (because then the yolk would be cooked all the way through), I just want it fried on both sides and she took the plate back and said they would redo it over hard. So I was expecting an egg fried on both sides with the yolk cooked through, which I guess I would rather have than having the white part looking raw like sunny side up. The plate came back, and looked exactly the same, as if they just brought back the same plate. If you are going to correct a paying customer, at least follow through with the supposed correction. I have asked for over easy eggs at dine in restaurants like Broken Yolk, Dennys, IHop, Janet's Cafe, House of pancakes, Aunt Emma's and various Mexican restaurants and I've never had the egg come back looking like this. Always fried on both sides , but not cooked all the way through, like over hard. If the chilaquiles flavor hadn't been as amazing as it was, I probably would've left it all. So, at least everything else was flavorful.

Stopped in on a whim for breakfast. Had a breakfast burrito with bacon and cheese. It was so fresh, simple and customizable. Other options I could have gotten were ham potatoes or to get it was a platter. This control worked very well with my diet. It was served with two salsa options, the green milder one and the spicier red. I found the green to be a bit salty but still tasty. The red has just the perfect amount of heat for me. Asking with this I got the Café de la Olla, a sweet cinnamon coffee drink which definitely hit the spot. The place wasn't very busy at 10am on a Sunday. I found the staff to be friendly and the music lively. I would definitely come back.

Awesome hole in the wall type of place! Food is freshly made in big portions at a reasonable price. If you like Mexican food this is the place! We ordered green and red chilaquiles with an iced coffee and it was great.

Amazing food, Friendly staff and OMG the green Chilaquiles (with chicken) are the best I’ve had in quite a while! I was heading to the movie theater when I seen someone having some. I am a picky eater (especially with my chilaquiles) but her plate looked sooo good that I just had to try them! I was not disappointed!! This is my go to place whenever I’m craving Chilaquiles! So glad I found this hidden gem!

After walking by numerous times I decided to take my dad for breakfast and try it out. It’s looks like a fast food place but the food is really good, I tried the chilaquiles and my dad the huevos rancheros. Chilaquiles were super good,my dad said his food was really good and the red salsa is so good I wish I could buy a tub!. definitely a place to check out for mexican food.

This is no regular taco shop! A true SD gem. The food is so yummy, they don’t skimp out on the meat, and the chipotle salsa is really spicy. Parking is really easy and the surrounding area is an outside mall so when you are done eating you can walk off the full feeling.
