"Despite sharing the bones of a former IHOP, Day Maker does the classic diner a little differently. With its Southern and Southwestern touches—earthy tones, woven textiles, and a menu that sneaks in chorizo and queso where you least expect them—it feels like a daytime restaurant that grew up bouncing between New Mexico and New Orleans. Get the churro pancakes and a huevos rancheros tostada before a day at the park. Just make sure to add yourself to the online waitlist before heading out, or get ready to face a multi-hour wait on the weekends." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs
