"A longtime Claytown diner operating since 1986 that was recently taken over by the family behind Taqueria Mi Pueblo and rebooted on July 31. The menu blends Mexican and American breakfast and diner fare — think huevos rancheros and huevos divorciados, chilaquiles in red or green salsa, breakfast burritos and tortas, alongside pancakes, waffles, eggs and toast, and classic breakfast meats; patrons can also choose taqueria-style proteins such as chorizo, carne asada, or al pastor. Drinks include fresh-squeezed orange juice, traditional aguas frescas, bottled Cokes and Jarritos, and a notably aromatic cafe de olla brewed with cinnamon, piloncillo, and cloves and served in a glazed ceramic olla. The spot kept much of its original staff, underwent modest renovations (removed a drop ceiling, added rustic wood detailing, reupholstered seating, and new lighting), and attracts a mixed clientele of longtime regulars and Mi Pueblo loyalists — a family-friendly fusion that lets older diners enjoy traditional Mexican breakfasts while younger guests opt for pitas, clubs, or burgers topped Mexican-style with avocado and pico de gallo; top off a meal with Mi Pueblo’s popular flan. Open 7:30 a.m.–3 p.m. Monday–Saturday and 9 a.m.–3 p.m. Sunday." - Serena Maria Daniels
