At 11am on a Thursday afternoon, this place is perfect.
There was a faint trickle of early lunch guests, and the staff said I could seat myself anywhere, so I picked a far-corner bar table. My seat was cushy, and not too high-up (which I consider a bonus). Within minutes, I was greeted with a bowl of delightfully crispy tortilla chips and fresh red salsa…
I felt good n’ spoiled already! 🥰
I picked a spot facing a wall of giant televisions delivering clear images of various sports (but none of them were at too high a volume — their combined sound blended into the background of house music, which I consider another plus).
Roxanne was my waitress; through her, I learned breakfast items were served all day, so I gleefully ordered the chilaquiles with 3 eggs (as opposed to 2) and carne asada.
I think I only waited 15-20 minutes tops (maybe less than that) for my meal…
Everything was amazing— the juicy asada, the luscious eggs, the base of homemade chips mixed with their sauce and queso— so amazing that, after the first few bites, I forced myself to pause (& prevent myself from shoveling it all in)! 🤣 I rarely let out audible ‘Mmm’ sounds when eating, but this was a special case. 😝
What’s more, Roxanne was the epitome of professionalism and integrity:
I originally requested that my eggs be poached, but I resolved that I’d also be content with over-easy.
Before the bill came, she disclosed that the kitchen was unfamiliar with poaching, and essentially asked for a run-down on how one poaches eggs …
I then gave a brief summary/description and she seemed grateful. Her earnest curiosity left me impressed, so for her, I left (what I hope was) a generous tip. 🤞🏼🤞🏼😎
My only regret was that I didn’t stay longer for a post-meal beverage, but as long as they don’t randomly shut down anytime soon, I’ll be returning for a longer visit. 🙌🏼
