The food is crazy great! There is almost always a wait so be prepared but it is well worth it. If you get there closer to when they close they may be out of things. Even after an long wait, no one ever complains. They do not have a liquor license yet but who's cares?

I was on a biz trip and wanted to grab breakfast so I looked on tik tok and it lead me to this cute little Mex restaurant that sat me at the end of the bar in front of the Christmas tree 🌲I ordered this delicious plate with green chilaquiles with mild spice which was perfect for me, and a side of scrambled eggs but what sealed the deal for me was the concha French toast and the cafe de olla😋 not to mention they were playing old black and white Mex movies…it made me feel so at home I forgot where I was, I almost didn’t want to leave. I’ll definitely come back again!

One of the best plates of food I've had in a while. We tried the cdmx bowl and the chilaquiles. We also ordered the tres leches pancakes. The savory dishes were 10/10. The pancakes were good but we felt they were short on the tres leches syrup The only complaint I have is 3 tables were empty for a while but it took the staff a long time to seat us.

We went for breakfast at El Mil Amores and it was such a wonderful experience. The atmosphere was bright and welcoming, and the staff made us feel right at home. My favorite part of the meal was the café de olla. It was sweet, spiced, and comforting, exactly how it should be. I also loved the CDMX Plate, their breakfast sampler that included house chilaquiles, my choice of meat, scrambled eggs, home potatoes, and the most delicious concha French toast. Every bite tasted fresh and full of flavor, and the portions were generous without feeling heavy. It is the kind of place where you want to linger over your coffee and look forward to coming back to try more of the menu.

In my quest for the best enchiladas in SF I found myself at the el Mil Amores Mexican Restaurant. el Mil Amores is an unassuming little place tucked into an area I rarely visit, but great things can come in small packages. So, let me just say this...The Enchilada was Amazingly Delicious, the flavors melded together as if God himself was in the kitchen! 5 stars and worthy of a two hour drive! As a matter of fact...they were so good, and after I had eaten, I got an order to go for the next day! ☆☆☆☆☆
