Address: 1600 Shattuck, Berkeley, CA. 94709
Website: http://www.themenupage.com/cafedelapaz.html
Food type: Tapas, Nuevo Latino
Price range/person: $15/brunch (not including alcohol)
Wait time: None to be seated (choose your own seat and take your own menu); 20-30 mins for the food (even on a relatively quiet afternoon)
Service: Slow, relaxed, short-staffed. Seemed like there was only one server for the day.
Ambiance: Colorful, Cheerful, Casual.
Dish Focus On:
Cachapas De Jojoto - The café’s signature, Venezuelan corn pancakes
Delicious moist pancake patties, topped with special sauce and cheese. I would be fine with this as the main entree rather than an appetizer.
Chicken Scramble served with home-fries and cornbread (jalapeno)
Corn bread has a kick. Eggs are tasty and filling. Potatoes are a bit excessive.
Yummmy Factor: 3.5/5
Yummmy Rambles: Not the place to dine if you are in a hurry. Service is unbelievably slow. Restaurant is very spacious with large rooms available for private parties, but it appears that the smaller room upstairs is the most often utilized. Food is decent, but not spectacular. Street parking. Not in a rush to go back soon...
