S & J Gran Cafe

I this place is great and consistent ! Affordable and delicious food authentic Mexican food. The chilaquiles are amazin with a nice spice to it . I. Get them everytime. . Everything else we tried we love. If you're an early person the early bird choices are a deal! $5 bangers mon-Friday. Fresh squeezed orange juice too !

Food cleanliness and service was a miss. Came in to try this restaurant sit-down today and ordered a Mexican mocha. Came out looking great but the other side had spilled over the edge. The worker said he'd come back to clean it even though I really didn't mind. But he then came back with a DIRTY rag that smelled awful like bleach and then proceeded to wipe my cup where I'd be putting my mouth on. We were too stunned. I told him "it's okay, I'm good", and we then asked for napkins because we didn't even have any. The drink itself was good, but still the lingering smell of a dirty rag on the cup was not. Luckily we wiped it down further with more napkins. When our food came out, no knives were brought out. I got a simple waffle and my bf got eggs benny. I asked for knives and he only brought out one knife and handed it to me. I didn't even bother to ask for another because at that point we were kind of annoyed. Also the pricing is really strange. At first glance most of the dishes seemed very decently priced, but my singular plain waffle (normal waffle size) with no toppings was $11 and the plate of 2 eggs benny and potatoes was $15. Sadly we will not be returning due to this experience, especially due to the fact that we don't know how else they handle the food.

Loved the menu selections. Opted for the Carne Asada Chilaquiles washed down with a Spinach Pineapple Agua Fresca. The Agua Fresca was so delicious! The food however was too salty. Everyone at our table said what they ordered was super salty as well.Maybe it was an off day. I'll come and try again!

Ordered from Postmates and was very pleased with the order. I got a carne asada and my friend got the veggie huarache and both were so good! The salsa had a good kick and meat was juicy and flavorful. It was really satisfying and great portion size.

This place is always a hit with me there food taste Great and the staff friendly . But the fresh squeezed OJ my god slap!! The ambiance is like any other restaurant fast pace but they have a great sound track on the over head speakers lol . For sure come give them a try !!

I was craving a breakfast burrito at 6am, you need to try the gran burrito, and you have to add avocado for 99 cents! Love that there's bacon, ham, and sausage! Everything in the inside is mixed well!

1. The waffles had crispy skins with a soft inside! The bacons were long and crispy! The torta was loaded with lots of goodness!2. The spot has fun casual vibes!3. There are indoor and outdoor seatings!4. The staff were friendly and timely with our order!5. Parking lot is huge and easy to find parking!Note: There is a single customer restroom on the left side of the restaurant!Photo: Iced Vanilla Latte, Waffle, 2 Eggs, and Bacon, Iced Zapata Latte Cacahute, Cubana Torta

This past Sunday morning, I had clocked out from work and a coworker/friend had just clocked into work. We were both hungry and were craving breakfast burritos. We were browsing through Yelp and found this spot. Not only do they open early but everything looked delicious so we had to check it out.I called in an order for pickup and was quoted 10 to 15 minutes.I ordered their A La Mexicana Breakfast Burrito. Sounded delicious but it wasn't it. The flavor was partially there but was masked by the insane amount of potatoes inside. Huge bummer because their red salsa was actually really good and had a nice kick of spice. The green salsa was very mid and lacked flavor. (2.5/5)I arrived approximately 15 minutes later to an empty restaurant and several people working. Once I got to the register to pay for my order, there was a younger female cleaning the area and even though we made eye contact several times, she did not bother to greet me at all or assist me. There was another female that was walking around the back and assumed I was there to pick up an order so without hesitation, went back to retrieve my order but there was no communication at all. As I stood there by the register for a few minutes, a younger gentleman that was cleaning the windows assisted me with the transaction but didn't even both with any conversation. I paid and the girl that handed me my order didn't say anything at all either. There were at least 4 or 5 people I saw inside that didn't bother to greet me or assist me initially which is a really bad practice especially in the customer service industry. There were also 1 older gentleman and 1 older lady outside preparing the tortillas but I didn't feel welcome by them either.The breakfast burrito wasn't the best but it wasn't the worst either. I would've considered returning to try them again but the service was god awful and cannot recommend this spot at all. Either train your front of house staff better or hire more qualified people with prior experience in customer service. I don't expect top tier service but anything would've been nice.

We were looking for a place within walking distance of the Great Wolf Lodge to get breakfast and I saw that S&J Gran Cafe was nearby. I was convinced that this was a chain because I recognized the name and my wife had no idea what I was talking about. Turns out, the only other S&J Gran was in our neighborhood. Go figure! Anyway, I'm going to say (no offense to our S&J Gran) that this place does it better. It could be that they have more line chefs, but they have great service, the food comes out fast, and the waitress was a gem. In terms of ambiance, not much to say but it felt like a nice diner / cafe. A few notes on the food:Huevos Motulenos - I ordered this one and was very happy with my order. The beans were tasty, the salsa was good, and everything worked well. Big fan of the friend plantain slices actually. I do wish I was more judicious with my plantains because once I ate all the garnish, the bottom the dish was a bit salty... which would have been more of a problem if I didn't order...Zapata Latte Cacahuate - Yeah, this is the stuff... It's a latte made with mexican peanut brittle and it's amazing. It's basically just happiness in liquid form. I don't think my dentist would appreciate me recommending this one, but absolutely get yourself some of this if you're in the area. Amazing.Normal breakfast stuff - My wife and kids were keeping it simple since they also have pretty reasonable prices for breakfast. Eggs were done exactly as ordered, the toast was toasted, the pancakes and sausage were exaclty what they were supposed to be. No complaints, would absolutely order again... preferable with another latte.All in all, we had a great experience. I actually told our waitress that this was the better S&J... then found out that the two stores actually got together and everyone knew each other... so slightly awkward. You should come!

Came on a Saturday morning around 9:30 am and were seated instantly! Even when we finished at 10:30, groups were able to be seated right away. We opted to sit in the patio area to enjoy the nice sunny weather. But be warned: there's some pesky flies. The menu had a nice mix of traditional breakfast staples as well as Mexican options. Everything sounded so good, it was hard to pick. Luckily the server was very patient and helped us pick So we got:Chiliquiles ($13) - the perfect sauce to chip to topping ratio. Where the chips are still crisp but also saucy. Some scrambled eggs served on the side too! Delicious but a little dry. next time, we'd get it with chicken or carne asada as these come with avocado. Gran burrito ($10) - might need to call it a 'grand' burrito. It's got all the breakfast staples generously wrapped in a soft flour tortilla. Every bite has a little bit of everything. Eggs, beans, salsa, hash browns, bacon and ham. Huevos Motulenos ($15) - an upgraded huevos rancheros with their homemade corn tortillas. Lots of pepper and sauce. If you like your food smothered in sauce, get this dish! And the fried plantains around the plate melts in your mouth like a perfectly roasted marshmallow. DIY omelette with chorizo and spinach ($13) - a pretty standard omelette, but generous portions. Chorizo was pretty oily, but nicely flavors the eggs. I wish it came with salsa.
