"Great spot for Latin/Mexican comfort food. The flavors were simple but delicious, and everything we ordered tasted fresh and well-seasoned. The coffee was surprisingly good, and the pastries were a nice bonus — definitely worth trying. The only downside was the service pace; it took a while for the tables to be cleaned and for the food to come out, likely because they seemed short-staffed. Still, the friendly vibe and tasty food made it a positive experience overall. I’d go back, especially when I’m not in a rush."

"First time here and the atmosphere was so nice, especially for a Wednesday! The staff was nice and welcoming. I ordered a pumpkin spice horchata cold brew and it was DELICIOUS! When I was picking up my drink I got a chance to see the food and I can’t wait to come back to try it 💕 drink was $7+"

"I recently had the pleasure of dining at Palo Santo Cafe in Riverbank, California, and the experience was absolutely amazing! The food was a true revelation. I can confidently say I have never had better Mole Sauce anywhere—the owner shared that it's made with 40 different spices, and you can taste the complexity and passion in every bite. Exceptional Service and Personal Touch What truly set this visit apart was the service. The owner personally came out to serve and speak with us, sharing wonderful details about their kitchen. She described how her husband had just made the very first batch of gelato and even walked us through the intricate process they use to create both the famous mole and the delicious cheesecake. I have never been treated so great by any other host or owner—it felt incredibly welcoming and special. Beyond the main meal, the dessert selection was equally impressive. I absolutely love the gelato, and the variety offered was fantastic. But the showstopper was the cheesecake; it was so incredible that I just had to take two slices home! If you're in the area, Palo Santo Cafe is a must-visit for top-notch food, phenomenal desserts, and truly heartfelt, personal service. Highly, highly recommend!"

"I had ordered a dish that a person after me also ordered. When the waitress served them first then the rest of my family’s food came out and she served our table, I was the only one not eating. When I brought it to my attention she was cold and said,”we have another coming out.” Not even an apology or understanding that she made the mistake. Food was great, atmosphere wonderful, attitudes from some of the staff, genuinely rude."

"I came here to order two raspberry cheesecakes, they didn’t have any ; they only have lime and strawberry, which is OK that’s what I ended up getting one lime and one strawberry I also order one elote pie to go when I left when I left I tried to eat my pie only to find out that it was no pie on my bag so I came back. I told them that they forgot to include the pie. The lady was not nice. She took forever to give me the pie. She just threw it on me with no bag. I also asked for three spoons. She only gave me two, so do I suppose to share my spoon with my coworkers? anyways I left the pie has a good flavor the cheesecake too, but I hate the service that I got. I only had 30 min lunch and I took me 45 min to get my order"
