Blackstone Cafe

Finally took some time to explore this much-buzzed local dining gem!! We went very early, 0730, before the rush on a Friday and the service was warm and friendly, and the food fantastic! We’ll definitely be back and the spaghetti pancakes are a MUST!! Even to share!!

You have to come here for breakfast! I had the breakfast enchiladas with steak. The steak is flavorful and tender. Every ingredient tastes fresh. The plate came with delicious refried beans and crispy potatoes. Oh, but please start with the apple empanadas! I haven't tasted anything like them before. Absolutely exquisite! Those with a cafe de olla were the perfect start to my breakfast. Finishing off with the spaghetti pancakes was a treat. It's served with plenty of fruit on top, and the pancake batter was very good. This is going to be one of my new favorite places for breakfast and brunch. The service was also exceptional!

I had one of the best breakfast experiences here! I tried the green chile chilaquiles with steak, and it was absolutely delicious. My vanilla latte was perfectly made and very tasty. Our server, German, was attentive, and the service was quick and efficient. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making the meal even more enjoyable. Highly recommend!

My family and I visited Black Stone on a Saturday early afternoon for a spectacular dining experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming combined with great service. The modern decor was definitely impressive and eye catching. The server was polite and the wait time was pretty reasonable given it was the weekend. The food tasted great and had a reasonable price tag. I would definitely recommend it, and my family and I will surely be returning again. Thank you!

This restaurant popped up on Instagram for breakfast places but we went for dinner instead. We had no reservations but since it was during the early week we went, there wasn’t any wait time and got seated right away. The restaurant was clean and very nicely decorated! Our server was very nice and attentive! My husband ordered the jalapeño pasta dish and I ordered the mole enchiladas and for our appetizer we ordered the ribeye guacamole. Everything we ordered was phenomenal!! I will definitely be back!

Its rare every single plate comes out impressive but blackstone was exceptional. We eat with our eyes first and they served it up! Out to celebrate a birthday and we all had such an awesome expirence. The kind of place that is pricy but once you eat the food you are happy ever penny was worth the meal. ***only complaint is they dont do "on the house" birthday desert so just a heads up.

Service is awesome. The food is great! This is a pricey food but well worth it. We had the ribeye guacamole. The ribeye is like chicharron. This dish was amazing. I also ordered the mole enchiladas which didn't let down. The beans also have a lot of flavor. I will be back to eat here again soon

This restaurant surprised my family and I! We celebrated brunch for my wife's birthday and it sure left a spot in our stomachs to not forget this place. The food was delicious, plates representing American and Hispanic dishes & mocktails that made you want more after every sip. The interior design is pretty and calming in color. We will definitely come back here!

Fun, hip place with a Latin American flair. We didn't have a reservation, but they kindly accommodated us. We went for brunch, and the menu had a nice selection of both sweet and savory options. We ordered lattes, a smoothie, a veggie omelet, enchiladas, a toast flight, and a yogurt parfait. Everything was really delicious, and the presentation was superb. Our server, Jesus, was really wonderful and friendly and helped make suggestions. Our only issue was that it was a bit dark inside, and seating felt a bit claustrophobic. There is patio dining outside as well. Staff told us reservations are highly recommended.

Food and service were both excellent. Atmosphere was great just wish the lights were a little dimmer. We will definitely be returning to try more items from the menu.

Our overall experience was great! Had dinner on a late Sunday evening and everything from the service to the food was excellent. We ordered a couple of entrees and a dessert (all pictured). Our server was Lauren and she went above and beyond for us. We asked if they happened to have cafe de olla available (knowing that we were probably out of luck due to the time of day) but she came through and brought us a cup of the cafe de olla. Great experience and will be coming back for brunch soon!

Phenomenal atmosphere, excellent food quality and selection. With an amazing wait staff, Karen was our service and she ensured everything came out in a timely order and that everything was to our liking. They take walk-ins but I would recommend a reservation, they do get busy.

My husband and I came without reservations and had to wait a few minutes! so remember to make your reservations! Good breakfast spot! We had the Chilaquiles and eggs, eggs Benedict, coffee. “I loved the crisp on the chilaquiles” my love liked the poached egg cooked to perfection!

I recently dined at Blackstone Kitchen, and it was outstanding from start to finish. The food was exceptional—beautifully presented, full of bold, refined Mexican flavors, and clearly crafted with care. The service was just as impressive: attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The atmosphere was elegant yet comfortable, making the entire experience feel special. Everything—from the cuisine to the accommodation—was excellent. I’ll definitely be back.

Great atmosphere and great service. Food was amazing as well (octopus, ribeye, skirt steak, burger). Not too many of these great non-chain spots in corona. Very flexible on options for plates and kids options, since there is no kids menu. Only critique is the spot is tight inside and a bit too dark IMO.

Amazing drinks & food! Came here for dinner. Service was great by Matias! So worth the price! 2nd update: The sashimi and 3 leches are to die for! Just simply amazing. The fuego ravioli and jalapeño enchiladas taste like heaven. The polanco drinks- one of the best!

Came for a belated birthday brunch here with my besties. We had a reservation at 12 and arrived 5 minutes early and still didn't get sat until 15 minutes after. We sat inside and boy was it loud! We could hardly hear ourselves for a conversation! It was also very hot inside, they need some overhead fans to blow around the air. I ordered the Benedict flight with a side of potatoes. The chipotle one was by far my favorite and the potatoes were perfectly crisp on the outside and creamy interior. My friend got the biscuits and gravy and was definitely good too. I would like to come back and try their dinner menu. I do want to add that our waters were never refilled a single time. Good thing I had an alcoholic beverage paired with it.

Tried this for the first time. Atmosphere was good…we sat at the bar. It wasn’t busy at all for brunch, yet the service wasn’t the best. They didn’t check on us or bring us our drinks when we ordered them. I was going to check on our drinks, but we didn’t see our bartender again. The was another bartender, but he wasn’t very attentive either. So, I just gave up on the drinks. That was a bit odd of a bartender experience. We ordered avocado toast, chilaquiles, and empanadas and a horchata. All were good. The avocado toast was a bit too sweet for me…I was expecting it to be more savory. We would go back to try it again though.

See a post about it and went for my birthday. Dark inside. Liked the decor. Quickly seated. Server answered a few questions and gave a suggestion. Ordered. Had time to talk amongst ourselves until.the food arrived. Restrooms were clean. Large mirror outside restrooms so that you can see yourself put together before heading back to your party. We had the empanadas. Great flavor. Also the chicken Caesar wrap. And the spaghetti pancakes. Loved the idea and novelty of them. So many berries. It was colorful and tasty. Would definitely return.

Service was great, their ribeye tacos were so good m! As well as the octopus. As far as my chicken enchiladas go - I didn’t like it. I thought there was too much cheese and made it way too heavy, just haven’t had any enchilada like this before so don’t recommend. Apart from that everything else was pretty good and the cheesecake was delish

Me and husband went for breakfast. My husbands boss was raving the food is delicious. We went on Saturday morning at 9:00 service was slow we waited for water and coffee . The servers were getting there around that time the host gave us are water and coffees we ordered our food from him . I was starving and craving pork belly so I ordered eggs Benedict’s with pork belly . We got our food my husbands steak was delicious he said my plate looked delicious but my pork belly was little pieces and hard I couldn’t chew chew them do I didn’t finish my food . I was expecting big slices of pork belly not chicarones . Tomatillo sauce delicious. I won’t go back . I’m posting a picture of my plate and some pork belly that should be on the plate and with the chilaquiles plate also with pork belly .

Went for a birthday dinner & 2 of our dinner plates had hair in it. Mine had a long hair underneath my meat, another person of the party had a small hairball under her food, she had nearly eaten half of the food already. The food presentation was beautiful but the food quality was very okay. Best thing I enjoyed here was my soda. All of the plates were slightly dirty with smidge marks all over it, making us hesitant to use the plate ware. When the rest of the food came out, majority had small lint all over it, my waffles included. They took off the 2 plates that had hair in it from the bill but that’s just unacceptable. I don’t write reviews but I had to write one for this place, was looking forward to it but left completely disappointed. Will not return here, it sucks.

If I could give a negative 1 star, I would. Decided to drop in after a long day/long weekend. The atmosphere was very nice. Was seated right away. Soon after, lots of tables came in after us and were seated. We waited and waited, but left because the waiter did not take our order. Even the table next to us that was seated after us were already enjoying their appetizers while we sat waiting to place our order. The menu looked great and the food looked and smelled good, but we never got to order and left feeling disregarded and frustrated and hungry. What a disappointing experience.
