Find It On Washington
El Cafetalito sits at 5300 E Washington Blvd, Commerce, CA 90040, United States. The address puts the restaurant on East Washington Boulevard, with a direct route for anyone heading across Commerce for Salvadoran restaurant Commerce CA dining.
The doors are open Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 9 PM. Those hours cover breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so the day can start with coffee and carry through to a late meal. A guest can plan a quick stop before work, a longer break in the middle of the day, or an evening visit after the pace of the day has settled.
The same address stays consistent through the week, and the long daily window makes the place simple to fit into a workday or a slower weekend plan. The schedule also suits a stop that begins early and runs long enough for a second cup, a full plate, and a calm sit-down before closing time.

Room To Dine In
Friday through Sunday follow the same 8 AM to 9 PM schedule, so the dining room stays available across the whole week. Dine-in service is one choice, and table service supports a sit-down meal instead of a quick counter stop. Guests can settle in, order at the table, and stay for the pace of a meal rather than a rush through it.
The restaurant also accepts reservations. That gives groups a clear way to plan ahead before arriving for brunch, lunch, or dinner. For guests who want a faster visit, delivery and takeaway are both available. A meal can leave the kitchen and head home, or it can stay on-site for a slower break.
Parking is practical here. Free of charge street parking and a free parking lot give drivers two ways to arrive. The entrance is wheelchair-accessible, and accessible seating, a wheelchair-accessible car park, and a wheelchair-accessible toilet are part of the setup.
