Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

I believe this is an under-rated cafe from what I can see. If you want a good hearty breakfast and you live in the area this is one shouldn't be missed. The prices are very competitive compared to the diners further east. If you can find a better breakfast and beverage under 10 dollars, please let me know! I think part of the charm, it's a casual neighborly kind of cafe. Very friendly waitresses, who will welcome you with a smile. I recommend Al's favorite, Chicken fried steak combo, or the Blackstone special; Texas Toast sized french toast, side of meat and an egg. I recommend they re-think their coffee. It's adequate for most people, but for people who really a enjoy a good brew it's a tad disappointing.

A Benson original, the kind of place where you'll see a dozen local work-guys and handymen sitting around shooting the sh*t during the lunch hour. The food is barely above basic diner fare. It's a shame because with the recent expansion of the Benson entertainment district, this would be the perfect place for a steak-n-shake-style hamburger joint. All it needs is a stern cleaning a coat of paint, new booths and furniture, a new kitchen and a chef willing to go through and cut their menu down to a mere dozen items. The perfect restaurant for a Gordon Ramsey project.

I don't know why there are so many negative reviews for this restaurant, we love this place. I've never had a bad experience. The food is good, the servers are sweet, and its VERY reasonably priced.

Update. Its half good on all these things: clean, taste, and service. I'm not mad at you, but complete something. I was surprised the coffee didn't suck. I'd go back.

Wife and I decided to give this a try for Sunday breakfast. Atmosphere is cool. Nice little cozy cafe feel. I had the corned beef/hash, toast and bacon. Wife had eggs, toast and bacon. Just about the only flavor all of the food had was old grease. I was Really hoping this cozy cafe was going to be at least as decent as village inn. But it didn't come close enough to meeting that for us to stop by here again. Maybe they make an ok burger and fries or something else possibly. For that I suppose I may give it another shot.

Terrible, horrible, awful service! Waitress was rude from the second we walked in until the second we walked out. We didn't even end up eating there it was so bad. I would not even consider ever stepping foot in that place again!!!!

When I think of a diner (or cafe) I think: cheap prices, big portions, homey. Joe's definitely has the homey part down. It is clean and simple on the inside with nice big windows for lots of light and vinyl booths plus some nice black and white shots of the cafe over the years. It's bigger than it looks too with a back seating are and nice old fashioned counter-style dining too. Not sure which owner we are on but they were not there when we dined. Unfortunately I didn't go there for the ambiance. I am a Benson resident so I like to patron my neighborhood when possible. Based on the food we had, not sure it's worth a second visit. We went for lunch, I had noticed they have a big sign that reads "SALADS" in the window and being on a diet currently thought it would be a good option. I was surprised to pick up the menu and read they offer a whole Mexican fare section. For some reason though you can't get any of it before 2 p,m. That seemed weird to offer lunch but exclude that part of the menu. Anyway, I ordered a chicken taco salad. I've had plenty in my day and knew it would be pretty basic but at $6.99 I got maybe a cup of chopped iceberg lettuce scattered over some fried flour tortilla "chips" plus maybe 4 oz of shredded chicken breast, and a 1/4 cup each of diced tomato and shredded cheese. I ordered salsa for my dressing and wanted to try their Italian too. They don't make any dressing in house the waitress told me and the salsa was clearly from a jar. Makes me dubious of the Mexican food quality. I didn't even bother with the Italian dressing. My husband tried their pork tenderloin sandwich and fries for $7 too. It was nothing too impressive, I would not have known it was pork being diminutive and wearing a thick coat of under-seasoned batter. Probably a frozen patty, to bad since a good pork sandwich can really be an awesome thing. He got less fries than you get at a fast food chain too and fries are not that pricey to be generous with. The waitress was friendly enough but when she served my husbands soda, it was off tasting and she seemed pretty unconcerned. Not a big deal but swift service and a sense of urgency over a customer's complaint goes a long way with me. Here's the thing though, when we got up to pay the bill, I looked over and saw another customer enjoying a plate heaped with fluffy scrambled eggs and overflowing with hash browns. What was the deal with our skimpy portions? A bummer to say the least. Save your money and eat at the Radial Cafe.

I see a lot of two star reviews on this awesome little diner in Benson. Has nobody ever heard of a greasy spoon before? I love the food! I love the service! I love the atmosphere. If you don't like places like this then go to international house of pancakes or some other corporate cookie cutter place.

A decent no frills breakfast with typical cafe fair. My taco omlette was was good and the service was pleasant.

STOP THE PRESS!!! THIS PLACE IS UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP!!! The food is absolutely fabulous. You don't have to like the location, or the waitresses, or the weird hours... THE FOOD IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The new owners are big on making their own dressings and they have a more natural menu selection. If you really want something specific, they will make it for you. I recommend the special hamburger they sell, and a bowl of their soup (any of them are great). I also recommend their ice cream. They make a lot of their own ice cream!!!! Give the new owners a try, you won't regret it. The hours are normal again. The best time to go is lunch!!!! They are usually closed by 2 pm.

The place has new owners now. I haven't been there since the change, so I can't comment on the food. Hours still seem to be sketchy. In the last month I've only seen it open 2-3 times out of 30-40 drive bys. Old review below. -------------------------------------- The staff here is pretty friendly and the prices are right in line with any other diner in the area. The food is nothing to rave over, but it's acceptable. The only issue I've really had is figuring out their hours. Sometimes I'll go by in the afternoon and they are closed. I think they must close early a lot of days.

Stopped going there. Use to love it for breakfasts. New owners and weird hours. Not sure how they are going to stay in business. Food is horrible now.
(1)C B.
Went here for breakfast about 6 months ago. Not good. Food was all out of the freezer, and so overly salted I could feel the bloating happening as I ate. Only thing that tasted like it was actually "cooked" and not re-heated were the pancakes. Unfortunately that didn't make them good.
(1)David K.
A great little diner to go with Grandpa and have some flapjacks on a Sunday morning. If you want an authentic, truck-stop looking middle-american diner, look no further.

i loved it, 2 times now. their gigantic plate sized pancake is the best i've ever had. cute kitschy little cafe.

What more could you want from a diner? Good food, friendly staff, never-ending coffee refills and cleanliness! Maybe the food quality stepped it up a notch when the new owners took over but from what we could tell today everything (especially the chicken-fried steak) was very, very decent. Obviously know what you're getting into... This is an open air diner, not a bistro brunch. But when you're awake and hungry at 8am on a Sunday, this is a good option. The corned beef hash & eggs combo w/ toast (Al's Favorite) was more food than I could handle. And I do regret not ordering the chicken fried steak... Especially because I pushed Bill to and it turned out to be so crispy-crunchy delicious. Yes, I also have a soft spot for that white gravy. Our standard French toast side order was right on the money too. Thick-cut Texas-toast style with plenty of warm syrup and butter packets to go with! Total ticket price? Under $20 for two. And did I mention the coffee didn't stop coming?! Joe's Cafe deserves a much higher average rating, so I'm glad I took a chance on this one.

I ordered a french dip and the bun had green mold growing on it. They comped the meal but I won't be back.
(1)Julie B.
They don't have excellent coffee & for breakfast that's very important. They also serve hashbrowns with everything with nothing mentioned in their menu. Overall, unimpressed.
(2)William G.
Good clean cafe. Meals not too big not too small. I had the chicken fried steak, 2 eggs, hash browns and a side of French toast. It was all super good.

I used to be a fan. My wife and I used to love coming here for breakfast. It's small, cozy, the people are nice enough, nothing pretentious about it at all. And then - about a year ago - there was a giant fly under my giant pancake. My wife stopped eating (I did too!) and wanted to leave immediately. We paid for her meal and left. For the better part of a year, I'd mention to her that I'd like to go back. Something like that could happen anywhere and we DID like the food before - let's give them another shot. So, for Father's Day, she relented and said we could go. I ordered the giant pancake again, with the egg and bacon on the side. The pancake arrived, dark brown on one half and VERY dark brown - almost black - on the other. I put the butter on the cake... and it sat there. No melting. I touched the pancake and it was room temp; I then touched the egg and it was cold. Obviously, with the AC blasting, plates were setting under the blowers and chilling out before the waitress would get to them. And the bacon? I like it crispy but this had zero moisture to it - completely overcooked. The waitress said she suspected the pancake was overcooked but didn't know it and the egg were also cold. She offered to replace, but at that point I was just done with a once-favorite place.

Food is great for a diner, waitresses are quick and helpful. Love the hole in the wall diner atmosphere. Prices are cheap for what you get, and they have a wide selection. Truly a hidden gem.
