Description

Though the chef is Mexican, he jumps from the Sierra Madre to the Pyrenees to the Rio Grande to combine French, Spanish, American and Mexican traditions into one of the better cafes around. This is the type of place where crepes exist alongside huevos rancheros, where you're as apt to enjoy a croque monsieur (like eating a flavored pillow, it is) as a beef dip, where "tortilla" can mean the rolled-up vessel of the Aztecs or the Spanish version, a kind of potato-egg pancake. More than novelty, nearly all the attempts at transcontinental and trans-Atlantic fusion work wonderfully.

    I LOOVEE the Chilaquiles here! So delicious. Their Huevos Rancheros are delicious as well. Place doesn't get too packed, but a lot of the locals go there. They have a good variety of sandwiches as well that I have yet to try. I'm excited to in the future though. Prices are ridiculously cheap for the amount of food you get. My mouth is watering for some right now!
