Our Story

El Dicho Cafe, nestled near the intersection of Tamarack Avenue and Ski Run Boulevard in South Lake Tahoe, is a family-owned establishment offering a unique blend of traditional Mexican antojitos and classic café fare.

The café aims to be a welcoming community space, featuring outdoor seating that transitions indoors during the winter months. Open daily from 7:30 a.m. to 7 p.m., El Dicho Cafe invites patrons to enjoy its diverse offerings in a warm and inviting atmosphere.
