Zafari Café & Deli
Safari-named crepes — and a free bill if you roll a 6
About Zafari Café & Deli
Zafari Café & Deli is a themed classic of Col. Industrial: safari decor, a carved wooden sign, and a menu where even the crepes carry expedition names — the Zafari (chicken with cilantro cream), the Armadillo (chicken with Monterrey cheese) or the Kikongo (chocolate and coconut). It is one of the most-reviewed cafés in the city (4.5 on Google with nearly 2,000 opinions, top 40 among 1,000+ Mexicali coffee shops) and one of the few serving until 11 PM Tuesday through Sunday, with gelato, carrot cake and boba drinks for after-dinner. Its promo is local legend: Tuesday to Friday between 11 and 3, you roll a die when asking for the bill — roll a 6 and the whole table eats free. The Asiática salad and the chai have their own fan club in the reviews.
