What our guests are saying
I have been here at least 4 times and every time has been consistently great. Food, service, atmosphere, staff have always exceeded my expectations. Vero was my most recent server and she was super friendly and attentive. I've not had a single bad item here so if you're feeling adventurous to try something new , do it!

Dangerously Delicious 🥰 Amanecer Cocina & Café is the kinda treasure you never see coming! Whether you like El Cerro, or Los Portales this place will knock your socks off! Our table ordered Carne Asada Fries with their House Salsa, Ranchero Omelets, sweet teas and coffee. That first bite hit me, and it was just...Mmm! Place was busy, yet the Server was Attentive, and Food was Expedient! I Highly recommend experiencing Amanecer on your next lunch excursion!

We came here for breakfast after the Wilmington IRONMAN, and it did not disappoint! I got the Berea burrito and it was exactly as you’d expect. Never could’ve dreamt up this combination anywhere but heaven. The fresh squeezed orange juice was also nice touch. Would love to go back!
