"As the name suggests, you can’t beat the coffee and Oaxacan hot chocolate from this approachable all-day brunch favorite near Marconi Plaza. Café y Chocolate also does freshly squeezed juices along with Mexican comfort food standbys like huevos rancheros and crispy flautas. It’s a cozy, family-friendly spot you can count on for a great midday meal any day of the week." - Ernest Owens
"Nobody does desayuno like this Mexican breakfast spot on Snyder. Classics like huevos a la Mexicana and molletes appear alongside tofu scramble burritos and chilaquiles. True to its name, Café y Chocolate also serves spiced hot chocolate and an extensive menu of Mexican-influenced espresso drinks, including coffee milkshakes. Breakfast starts at 9 a.m. daily." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme
"There are few things that get us out of bed when we’d rather be sleeping: a fire alarm because our neighbors can’t make toast, avoiding a long line at the carwash, and an order of huevos motuleños especiales from Café y Chocolate. Bathing in spicy salsa verde, each tortilla comes packed with refried black beans, a poached egg mixed with ham and mozzarella cheese, roasted poblano rojas, caramelized onions, and tomatoes. Besides that, the West Passyunk spot’s menu includes staples like enchiladas, tortas, crispy churros, and an unforgettable Mexican hot chocolate sprinkled with cinnamon." - alison kessler, candis mclean

"Philadelphia is home to all sorts of creative takes on cheesesteaks but none satisfy like this cafe’s homage to the ubiquitous sandwich. The “cheesesteak a la Mexicana” features extras like caramelized onion and serrano peppers, along with chipotle mustard and a side of pico de gallo. Takeout, delivery, and onsite dining are available." - Ernest Owens
