Heard about this place from my wife a few months back; so a couple weeks ago we decided to make our way. Not really sure what I expected, but I liked what greeted us. This is a nice mom and pop spot; and the food and service took me to place of family. The food was Mexican home style, and reminded me of something I would ask my mom to make me when I was back home as a kid. The Mexican candy inspired coffee drinks is what brought me in to begin with and certainly did not disappoint. We will definitely be back and I plan on taking my mom to get her opinion of this place as well.

Mi Cafesito tiene los mejores chilaquiles en Fresno. The Chilaquiles were delicious! The restaurant was clean and the staff was friendly. Oh and the horchata latte is great, not overly sweet like the original horchata drink which I liked.

My wife and I are always looking for a new place to try and got a great recommendation from her friend to try Mi Cafecito. They did not disappoint and everything from the employees to the atmosphere was perfect. You always know that a place will be good when they are alive with culture! I recommend the Payaso Paleta Latte and the chilaquiles! Amazing!

If you’re in Fresno and haven’t eaten at Mi Cafesito you’re missing out! The menu choices made it hard to decide. Several chilaquiles options. We ordered two different breakfasts and both were delicious, the sauces were yummy. Coffees were also soooooo tasty. Family owned and everyone was so friendly. Highly recommend if you love an authentic Mexican breakfast.

My husband and I live in the neighborhood and we finally got a chance to visit this place. It’s adorable, the food is delicious, the people are so kind, and they write cute little messages on your drink cups! So glad to see this place occupied and thriving again after so long.
