![📍 MERCEDES RESTAURANT & CAFÉ [Marina del Rey, CA]
#marinadelreybeach
This spot feels like a cozy escape from the usual touristy crowd. Mercedes served authentic Cuban dishes, bringing a mix of Latin flavors, beachside charm, and a laid-back local vibe. Whether you’re here for a leisurely breakfast, weekend brunch, or just a good cup of coffee, soak up the ocean breeze while enjoying a flavorful meal.
What I Ordered:
🥓🥚🥞2 + 2 + 2 Breakfast – A classic, hearty combo with 2 eggs any style, 2 buttermilk pancakes, and a choice of 2 slices of bacon or turkey sausage—simple but deliciously satisfying!
🥛Cappuccino – Rich espresso topped with frothy steamed milk, offering a warm and comforting for a foggy day.
☕️Coffee – A straightforward, bold and smooth cup, featuring First Street Coffee. Restaurant Roast is now my favorite coffee blend.
🎭 Vibe: A casual, welcoming spot where locals and visitors come together for good food, strong coffee, and relaxed beachside energy. Whether you’re fueling up before a day at the beach or just stopping by for a slow morning with a cappuccino, Mercedes offers great service, fresh ingredients, and a chill neighborhood feel. Bonus: The outdoor section is dog-friendly! 🐾
Would you come here for a beachside brunch? Let me know! 👇✨
