Delicious Breakfast and Friendly Service
We spontaneously dropped in for a good breakfast before shopping. We had a delicious breakfast. The omelet fajita cheese and jalapeño was truly delicious.
It came with toast and hashbrowns. And the people were friendly.

Disappointing Huevos Rancheros and Slow Service
My experience at this restaurant on a Sunday was marked by a surprisingly deserted atmosphere, which is usually a red flag. After being seated, it took about 10 minutes for my menu to arrive, and another while for my coffee and water. The restaurant remained completely empty during my visit.
I ordered the huevos rancheros. While the eggs and salsa were great, the tortillas were a significant letdown; they were greasy, chewy, and difficult to cut. This experience made me question how they can boast about their chilaquiles if they are similar.
It was a super disappointing meal. The staff seemed more preoccupied with their social media posts than attending to the few customers present.
