Food was amazing!! Definitely a great place to stop and enjoy authentic quality Mexican cuisine. Service was great even with being so busy. Ambiance was nice, we sat outside so we never really walked inside besides to put our name on the list. Highly recommend

What a wonderful place to have breakfast if you're in the area. Went with their two eggs and French toast truly something you need to try. Staff and waitress was very accommodating and very nice overall atmosphere was amazing super packed since they're only open for a few hours. Definitely would recommend this place for morning breakfast their green juice, super healthy, and super light. All staff was really nice, including the valet. I love the fact that they turned this house into a small restaurant if you're in the area definitely give it a shot.

At this spot I definitely had to take my time to explain to my fellow yelpers! This place is a diamond in a haystack. Hands down one of the best brunch places in Houston. This place has authentic Mexican food with a few American dishes. Food had just the right amount of seasoning. A lot of Mexican restaurants could over season their food. Not here. Location a bit difficult but understandable for the vibes that this place gives off. Easy menu to read and dish price all worth it. Lovely staff. Wish the hrs were to at least 3 and just a bit larger. Prepare to wait for a bit. But worth it. Hurry up n try it.

I adored Cielito Cafe! This is quite a cute brunch/lunch spot to enjoy with your girls, family, or even on a cute date. I ordered the tres quesadillas azules with chicken, and my was this delicious! The cheese especially was very rich. They provide two sauces with your food as well, and please be warned that the orange sauce is very spicy! (I did enjoy this one the most with my food however) . I will have to return to try their agua frescas and their guacamole. My only qualm, as I see mentioned in other reviews, would be that the parking can be tough especially during busier hours for this establishment. Otherwise - the experience here was lovely!

Glad to see that after 4 years and again for my birthday, the authentic home style feel of Mexican flavor that is Cielito Cafe, has sustained the trials of time and is busier than my first time here. Nowadays they have troves of people waiting especially on the weekends for breakfast and brunch and for great reason, their consistent friendly service, delicious food offerings and intimate ambiance make it an enjoyable visit. While the parking is a bit tricky, mostly street Monday thru Saturday, Sunday is a bit easier with the parking lot that belongs to the business next to it, (signs says "No Restaurant Parking") I checked and Sunday's are an exception. So you can eat peacefully without the fear of getting a citation or worse, towed. Wish there were more convenient parking offerings around town. Cielito doesn't take reservations on the weekends but you can put your name on the waitlist to have a table. They offer both inside and outside seating. As mentioned it is intimate inside so you are within close proximity to others and each other. Everyone from the hostess, waitress and servers were friendly and attentive. While we waited to be called, we were offered water. The ice in one of the cups had some green in it, looked like lettuce and skipped drinking it. I'm sure they would've gotten us another one, but weren't too bothered to as for another. Once inside, as well as people waiting outside showed it was a full house. We sat down in the back by the kitchen in a nice corner where got to see everything. Everyone interacting and working as a team. On to the real reason you're reading, the affordable food and drinks! Just FYI this is a restaurant where you'll find that the strongest pour is their coffee. Started with Cafe de Coco (non-dairy) - and let me tell you, the way it smoothly and velvety just makes you want to chug it in one gulp, a delightful treat, almost like dessert before you have your meal. For my meal, last time I got the Bandera, I was feeling a little rebellious from the traditional and got the Chilaquiles with red homemade sauce and added chorizo to it. Let's just say being rebellious sometimes pays off, so much so that my mom kept eyeing my plate after I gave her some to try. Mixed with it's avocado, onion, radish, egg (I got mine scrambled) and black beans paired with the fried chips and chorizo and a kick from the red sauce just elevated and balanced the fresh and savory flavors with each bite. Please do not change anything about this plate. (The chorizo is extra, I wanted some type of protein. You can add, bacon or sausage if you want.) If you haven't had the pleasure of enjoying Cielito Cafe, do yourself a favor and stop by, early and with some patience if you're coming on the weekends. They also offer carry out if you're not wanting to wait to dine. I also heard they opened a new location and though I enjoy the original, I will make plans at some point to check the new one out. Thank you Cielito Cafe staff for the consistency in your service and food quality and taste. May you continue to excel and be successful.

Besides the long wait and hair found in my food, I received a new plate after telling our waitress that this place was solid. Everything came out very fresh and prompt. The green juice was also a favorite of mine--fresh and hydrating. The chilaquiles were just a tad bit spicy with the salsa verde. My husband enjoyed his menudo, and I have no complaints about the kid's pancake breakfast. Cielito Cafe was very quaint and cozy.

This morning, we visited Celito Café and absolutely enjoyed our meals. I had the blue tortilla quesadilla with chicharrón, and it was amazing! My husband had the menudo, and aside from the great taste, I really appreciated that the meat was cut into smaller pieces--just like I do at home so my kids don't struggle. That alone deserves five stars! The chilaquiles were packed with flavor and spice--so much so that my daughter eventually said she was just burning her mouth, lol. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely go back. Oh, and don't forget to grab a coffee!

Came in on a Friday around 1pm. They were still surprisingly busy for a week day. Had we not opted to sit outside we would have been waiting quite a while for a table. We ordered right away, I had an agua fresca and chilaquiles verdes with chicken and my friend had a green juice and enchiladas michoacanas. The food is fantastic. Hands down. It's comparable to the food my mom makes at home and the restaurant I've tried in Mexico. My chilaquiles were spicy and flavorful. My friend really liked her enchiladas and I can agree that they were fantastic. This is truly an authentic Mexican restaurant. The only downside is how busy it is and how crowded it gets because it's such a small space. Just walking inside is a bit claustrophobic. Parking also isn't the best. Besides that, I'll definitely be back just not during the weekend.

The place is a little house so it's cute cozy vibes, the place is quite small and gets full fast so the wait time can be long. I was told it would be a 20 minute wait and waited for an hour if not more! I will say the food made the wait worth it! The plates were very well served, good size and very nicely served! The food tasted pretty authentic making it a good spot for a traditional breakfast!! The drinks were delicious I got the green juice and it was the perfect healthy refresher that I was looking for! I had chilaquiles and they were delicious not too spiced for those with a low tolerance it even had a nice lemony taste!

Went here on a Tuesday for brunch and got the Divorciados and a café de olla. The divoriciados were basically the elements and flavors of a chilaquiles with less tortilla chips, and as a fan of chilaquiles I enjoyed it. The salsas were very flavorful and I liked how they had a mix of green and red salsa. The only downside is that the portion is quite small. (6.5/10) The café de olla was earthy with a slight sweetness, but it did taste a bit watered down compared to others that I've tried. (5/10) Overall the café is super cute and perfect for a girls brunch, but the parking is a challenge especially on weekends when it is more crowded. The food tastes good and the service was quick. I would recommend going during the week to avoid the line and outdoor wait.
