"This Mexican restaurant in Ballard serves great food all day, but their brunch is exceptional. Floral oilcloths and papel picado brighten the space, while café de olla livens up the out-late-last-night crowd. Order the alambres topped with slices of cheese that melt on contact. Add a fried egg on top to appease the brunch gods, and swaddle it all inside tortillas. And while the horchata latte refills and warm energy may make you feel like the only customer in the entire city, they do get busy, so arrive early." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
