“ Great food, great service, just a wonderful local restaurant, nothing fancy! Exceptionally clean, and great value for $ ”

“ It's not amazing but it's not bad at all. Everything is authentic. It's a place where you can go on a calm Sunday morning. I really liked it. I'll definitely come back. ”

“ Finally made it, been passing by since it opened and always on the way to something or coming from something. Greeted by a friendly staff, and being an odd hour between breakfast & lunch crowd had the nice clean dining area to ourselves for most of the time we ate our delicious breakfast. Wife went with a breakfast platter with eggs, bacon, sausage & pancakes. I had a chorizo egg & potatoe burrito. Reasonable prices for a decent meal, not over the top amazing flavor or monstrous portions, but tasty enough and good enough to bring us back in the future. Family business ran with pride that definitely is worth supporting. ”

“ High quality food. Very inexpensive prices. This kind of restruant is a dying breed in the new america. If you're ever in the area I promise you will not be disappointed. ”

“ ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Darn swell Latin diner experience. Mrs. Potatohead and I stopped on a Friday evening, 6ish. We'd seen this joint in passing and finally opted to partake. Dear fans, we are glad we did so. Upon entering, you're in a nothing-fancy small diner, a half dozen or so tables, but clean. Staff is perfectly friendly and efficient. Menu's not huge. Small kitchen. But the payoff is the grub. She had the $16 platter of steak and eggs, two pupusas, fried plantains. Steak was pretty tender yet lean and a nice marinade. Plantains were a bit sweet and tender, not oily. I had the $19 carne asada with fajita steak, side of rice and of refried beans. Ditto on the steak. Both meals, good portion sizes; we was stuffed. Also had one cheese pupusa $2.50 as an appetizer. Fresh and warm and melty cheese and a nice mild salsa. Good sized. Closed on Sundays. Seems to do a very brisk takeout business. Plenty of smoke parking as it's in a shopping plaza. Definitely see ourselves returning. ”

“ Ordered the same as last visit. My only suggestion is expand the menu. Service was friendly and cordial as before. The atmosphere is a step up from the strip mall they're in due to a pleasant & warm decor. ”

“ When I tell you this place serves QUALITY food I mean it!! From the start we were greeted & treated like family. Me & my wife ordered this burrito here and let tell you... 10/10. Cozy is a understatement! The picture explains it all! ”

“ Delicious breakfast. Veggie omelette & cheese and bean pupusa, not pictured above. Generous size and all for $12! Can't beat it. ”

“ Grandma's Famous Cafe is nestled in a strip plaza across from the Woodlawn Shopping Center, who offers both American and Latin eats. Their menu includes baked chicken with veggies, beef stew with rice, pan-fried flounder with rice and veggies, breakfast items, as well as pupusas. Just note that their website menu doesn't match up with their hard copy menus in the restaurant - for example, the 'Steak and Cheese' listed on their site seems to show that it's more of a cold sandwich that has avocado and sprouts on a multi-grain; however, I was looking for the steak and cheese that's grilled with provolone and onions. I stopped by for an early lunch, and I ordered a Steak and Cheese without the lettuce and the tomatoes, as well as 2 cheese pupusas. The Steak and Cheese comes with an option of french fries or a bag of chips of your choosing; I opted for the fries. The sub was okay - it was definitely generously filled, and the steak bits were very juicy and tender, albeit some fatty pieces here and there. I do wish that it was seasoned more, as I felt that it was more on the bland side. This also came with a pickle spear. The pupusas were super hot and cheesy; it had a nice little crisp exterior, and I prefer using my own hot sauce. This was yummy, and I would order these again! There was a signage featuring the breakfast specials of the day, such as a Ham, Egg & Cheese Croissant, Chorizo Burrito, a Veggie Omelette, a Chicken Rosemary Focaccia, and a Tuna Melt - I'd be curious to try these or a new item feature on the next visit! Service was super friendly and welcoming, and there are only a handful of seating inside. Food is made to order, so you'll be waiting for a few minutes or so for it to be ready. You can also call ahead for a pickup. Plenty of parking in the strip plaza lot. +cheesy pupusas! +food is made to order +friendly service +plenty of parking in strip plaza lot ”
