It is prepared with yellowfin tuna, yuzu citrus, pickled fresnos, kombu aioli, lemon-mint vinaigrette, rice noodles. We also adore the Cowboy Breakfast, Yee-haw! It comes with two sunny eggs, bacon, confit pork, borracho beans, tomato, roasted jalapeno, and cilantro butter. The Brunch menu is full of high-quality, scrumptious dishes.

The Dinner options offer the same fresh baked goods offered for Brunch, as well as a diverse range of savory starters, salads & bowls, creative main dishes, sides, and kid’s options. Start with the signature Cafe Spread, prepared with chickpea hummus, kamut & pine nut tabbouleh, and grilled laffa. Our favorite main dish is the Grilled Hanger Steak, served with brussel sprouts, orange, almonds, and chimichurri! If you’re looking for a yummy sandwich- be sure to try the Loaded BLT. It is made with crispy applewood bacon, herbed tomatoes, arugula, garlic aioli, and served on brioche. Don’t forget to order a side of Malt Fries!

Or opt for one of their specialty cocktails, surely to leave you beyond impressed. We highly recommend the Bloody Mary, made with Tito’s, house blend, and lemon. Having a Sunday Funday? Try their Mimosas made with fresh squeezed orange juice! Perhaps you want to have beer or try the wine selection-Bubbles, Red, White, or Rose? They even offer Boozy Pour Overs, mangonada style or strawberry rose paleta- the choice is yours.

For Dessert, choose from a variety of plated desserts, tasty scoops, and paletas! You’re quite literally in for a treat with the desserts at Cafe No Se. We recommend you try the Strawberry Mango Cake. It is a mango butter cake with Rice Krispie crunch, strawberry lime ice, mango fro-yo, and infused strawberry. Yes, it is as delicious as it sounds. Looking for a chilly treat? Be sure to order the Hazelnut Churro Gelato- and make your scoop an affogato by adding espresso! Yum.
