First time visit during lunch. The chicken quesadilla was flavorful and delicious. Ordered the California chicken burrito was just okay. I am used to having chips and salsa and was disappointed that it would cost extra unlike other local places. Service was great and was checked on often. The restaurant was beautiful and loved the music playing. The booth area felt a bit crowded. Overall, would like to visit again for dinner.

My daughter and I arrived around 1:30 PM for lunch on Cinco de Mayo. It was very lively on the outside with additional seating and patio covering and a live DJ. As soon as we walked in, we immediately greeted and sat at a table inside. We ordered drinks While we waited to where the people asked if we were doing OK and if we needed anything to drink or any appetizers. We ordered chips and salsa and our meal. They came pretty quick and the service was not incredible! We had several times where servers and passing would ask if we needed anything else. My Daughter ordered the chicken burrito and I ordered the three steak tacos, Mexican style and a margarita. They offered face painting, vibrant and energy/vibe of the restaurant was fun and great. First time - we felt we discover the best Mexican restaurant in Frederick

This is my go-to for lunch about once a month. The staff is always very friendly and they offer great service. The location itself doesn't have a ton of parking available but there is a parking lot behind it that is shared with other businesses. The inside is small and appears very clean and they also offer a large, covered outdoor seating area. The chips and salsa aren't complimentary as many others in the area are so you'll have to order them ($4.99). The food itself is reasonably price with good portions. Aside from their regular menu, they offer lunch specials as well. I ordered the Fajitas Texacana which comes with corn or flour tortillas, Guacamole, Rice, and Beans. They also bring out three different salsas for your entree which all vary on the spiciness. Recently, they are selling house made corn tortillas to go for about $6 which is a great deal. They sell them until they run out!

We decided to try a new Mexican restaurant as we were traveling through Frederick, Maryland. I looked up reviews and Cafe Bueno had a high rating. We sat down ten minutes before the lunch specials were over. My husband had the chicken California burrito, I had the regular chicken burrito, and my mom had the taco salad. All our meals were very tasty. They do not have free chips and salsa like most Mexican restaurants, but we didn't mind because our entrees were filling. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated and we had a very friendly server. We would dine at Cafe Bueno again!

Ambiance: Very colorful restaurant with friendly people and fast service. They have plenty of dedicated parking.Food: We ordered loaded nachos with chicken and chicken quesadillas. Both the dishes were made to perfection and tasted great. We could tell that the food was freshly made and the nachos were super light.

Cafe Bueno is an awesome find here in Frederick and is a great lunch spot if you work nearby. This is a go-to at least once a month if you want some decent Mexican food. The food is good but it's not "write home about it". Most Mexican restaurants serve complimentary chips and salsa so if you crave those bad boys like I do anytime you eat mexican, you'll have to pay $4.99. I typically get a burrito for lunch but decided on their Chimichanga lunch special and it wasn't good or bad. It was crunchy and completely stuffed but a little watery inside, but the flavor was there. There is enough parking spaces to fit the amount of people that can fit inside this smaller restaurant but they do have outdoor seating which is nice in the warmer months. However, you do have to deal with the noise from East Street traffic since it's right there. The service is pretty good as well, but I would not count on anyone coming to check on you after you get your food. You typically have to stop someone and ask for a refill, although it depends on which waitstaff is there that day.All in all, I would recommend this place to someone!

Both me and my partner are Hispanic, so we were looking for an authentic Mexican place. Cafe Bueno is Mex-American, the clientele is more American so the plates end up being Americanized. No real variety between foods: quesadillas, burritos, nachos, tacos, very simple stuff. We ordered a Torta Cubana for 11.99 and enchiladas for around the same price. We added rice and beans to the plate. The torta cubana had some flavor, the meat was a tad bit chewy but overall it wasn't bad. It was packed so for the price I find it a good deal. The cheese enchiladas were disappointing, no real flavor it was just store bought melted cheese and chewy tortilla. Personally, I wouldn't come back here. I felt like it wasn't authentic at all, but I wouldn't knock it until you try it
