Café y Chocolate

"Nobody does desayuno like this Mexican breakfast spot on Snyder. Classics like huevos a la Mexicana and molletes appear alongside tofu scramble burritos and chilaquiles. True to its name, Café y Chocolate also serves spiced hot chocolate and an extensive menu of Mexican-influenced espresso drinks, including coffee milkshakes. Breakfast starts at 9 a.m. daily." - Maddy Sweitzer-Lamme, Eater Staff

"There are few things that get us out of bed when we’d rather be sleeping: a fire alarm because our neighbors can’t make toast, avoiding a long line at the carwash, and an order of huevos motuleños especiales from Café y Chocolate. Bathing in spicy salsa verde, each tortilla comes packed with refried black beans, a poached egg mixed with ham and mozzarella cheese, roasted poblano rojas, caramelized onions, and tomatoes. Besides that, the West Passyunk spot’s menu includes staples like enchiladas, tortas, crispy churros, and an unforgettable Mexican hot chocolate sprinkled with cinnamon." - alison kessler, candis mclean

"If you’re feeling woozy after an evening of too much booze, spring for the hearty breakfast burrito at South Philly’s Café Y Chocolate. The hefty order comes loaded with scrambled eggs, cheese, refried beans, and your choice of a meat or vegetarian protein. Consider adding nachos with eggs and chorizo, churros, or a torta to return to 100 percent. Order on GrubHub for pickup or delivery." - Jillian Wilson

"Philadelphia is home to all sorts of creative takes on cheesesteaks but none satisfy like this cafe’s homage to the ubiquitous sandwich. The “cheesesteak a la Mexicana” features extras like caramelized onion and serrano peppers, along with chipotle mustard and a side of pico de gallo. Takeout, delivery, and onsite dining are available." - Ernest Owens
