“ The breakfast here is really tasty, I ordered the Huevos Rancheros and for $9.99 you get 2 eggs, refried beans, potatoes and bacon. The eggs were perfectly cooked over medium, the salsa for the eggs was tasty, the refried beans were okay just simple in taste, the potatoes were okay slightly crispy they could have used some seasoning, the bacon was okay they were long and crispy but I like my bacon more on the soft side. The tortillas were both okay, the flour tortillas were a better option. Overall a good place for breakfast they could definitely improve on the Huevos Rancheros by adding a fried tortilla under the eggs, the service was fast for a full house and the staff are very friendly and attentive. ”
