Amazing. I am a huge sucker for breakfast and coffee, so I have been searching for a place to enjoy since arriving in Guadalajara. Nothing seemed to satisfy me, until now.
I have spent years cooking and serving brunch in various restaurants, so it is a true pleasure to sit on the other side of the line and feel pride in another person's cooking, much less get to relax and eat it. I wanted to hug the chef.
Iced coffee was smooth and well brewed, with a lime slice at the bottom which I thought was odd until I started sipping. The flower garnish pictured is my own, picked on my way, so don't expect it to be too frilly. It doesn't require extra dress- it's just damn good.
Before receiving our order, they served up some sliced watermelon, bread, and sauces. Refreshing and satisfying as we waited, a touch that made our time that much more enjoyable.
We ordered the Pochero(poached eggs over slightly spicy tomatillo salsa, crema, cotija, and beans, topped with crispy chopped bacon) and Chilaquiles Piquantes(traditional and incendiary). We enjoyed every bite, eggs were exceptionally poached, tortillas in the chilaquiles were resilient and crunchy, salsas were harmonious flavor combinations. Even basic elements such as beans were excellent, which goes to show true attention and care- a love of the communion that is food.
Ambiance is somewhat kitschy cool, somewhat hipster punk, with antiques like sewing machines and hand crafted radio bars playing The Creation. Staff is equally cool, tattooed, and very friendly.
Highly recommend.
