Little Heart Cafecito

We got takeout breakfast tacos. It’s in the Public Market but pretty much everything else in the market is closed in the mornings - so not much to comment on the atmosphere. The breakfast tacos were good and average size. We got the steak taco and a birria taco. They were good, only issue was the birria taco was extremely messy and hard to eat. This isn’t something you want with takeout and eating on the go. Relatively fast service but it is cooked to order so expect a bit of a wait.

Portion was small considering it was $16 for a breakfast burrito. Note: picture shows the Burrito cut in half. Good flavor but too greasy for me. Good salsa! Service was slow, over 10 minute wait and no one else was there on a Wednesday.

Owned by Chef Ramon Velazquez, a native of Guadalajara who began cooking with his grandmother and mother at a very young age, Little Heart Cafecito is the sister eatery of Michelin Bib Gourmand recipient Corazón Cocina. Little more than a stall adjacent the flagship, a few savory items plus several types of Coffee, Little Heart plies its trade in Dulce including the thick Orange Flan and sopping wet Tres Leches also offered at Corazón. Open from 8am until 8pm daily, fresh-baked Breads typically sold out early, dinner guests need not fear as Little Heart’s selection is well-culled and faultless whether one chooses Rice Pudding beneath confit Pineapple, a loaded Cowboy Cookie or additional seasonal Cake slices flavored by Pumpkin Puree or Almond Milk and Cinnamon.

I ordered a single breakfast taco and it took 21 minutes to arrive. I understand the ingredients are more premium, but for the portion size and amount of steak, just four small pieces. It didn’t feel worth the wait or price.

Perfect spot for a quick bite to get you going in the morning. The breakfast tacos on blue corn tortillas were amazing. We tried the Tejano, Del Chef, and the Ranchero. Each one was layered with flavor making each bite better than the last. We washed it all down with a Cafe de Olla and a Churro Latte. Delicious!!!
