I was starting to get a little homesick until I came across Boconó on Yelp. The pictures and reviews made me feel like it offered a modern Spanish breakfast experience.
After walking through El Rastro on Sunday morning, we made our way inside, picked up a menu, and waited to be seated. It has a rather informal seating arrangement. You let the host know you are waiting and he'll make sure everyone is accounted for.
For a Sunday, this was a busy neighborhood so we waited about 15 minutes before being seated, maybe 10 minutes later our order was placed, and we waited patiently (or tried to at least).
I had my eye on the Boconó Benedict and although it's listed as a lunch item, you can certainly order it for breakfast. One order is large enough for two, three if you're pushing it. But, everything just felt right and cozy.
The Benedict had a soft boiled egg on top of a sweet corn base with cheese in the middle! It was then layered with a hollandaise type sauce and more cheese, and fresh avocados on the side. And of course, the classic jambon!
