I hate being that reviewer who has an okay experience, and pretty much everyone else had a great one. I went back-and-forth debating a three or four star rating. Simple issues that probably shouldn't have happened.
I was very happy to see a new breakfast/brunch restaurant in my neighborhood. In the past, I have just grabbed a beverage to-go, but on Saturday morning it was time to experience their breakfast.
We get here around 10:30, and the place is packed. Almost every table, inside and out was taken. There was a long line to order, but it was moving pretty quick. We were happy to see a new place so busy after just a couple of months.
The restaurant inside is beautiful. The Southwestern and Mexican artwork, pictures, and crafts are so beautiful. It reminded me of Tucson. Truly beautiful pieces on their walls. A+!
We ordered our food and the order taker was friendly and answered our questions. Younger Latino guy if we had to guess. We paid, received our order number, and looked for a table. The only open table was the community table inside. Cool. No biggie.
I had a Blueberry Muffin while we waited for our breakfast. The muffin was super fresh and delicious. It was presented on a beautiful Southwestern style plate. Our food arrived sooner than we expected. Everything was there except for my toast, which was on its way.
I ordered the "Two Eggs and Protein" breakfast. For me it was scrambled eggs with bacon, potatoes, and toast. Good size portions for the $16 price; no complaints. The eggs were luke warm at best, the bacon was cooked well and tasty, and the potatoes were very hot and delicious. The toast? Still waiting for the toast even though I asked about it again.
My friend ordered the "Two-Two-Two" breakfast. He selected eggs over hard, bacon, and Buttermilk Pancakes. The eggs arrived over easy, (see pictures), the bacon was good, but the pancakes were too doughy. He didn't send the eggs back because he was hungry and didn't want to wait any longer to eat. He ordered a side of Spicy Chicken Chorizo, which was flavorful and "spicy lite," but not warm at all.
My friend also had a coffee with his meal, and it was just a cup for $4.25. Apparently, no refills as no one was refilling cups. We've never been to a restaurant where there is no refills on coffee.
After finishing my meal, I was still waiting for my toast that I already paid for. I finally went to the counter to inquire about my toast. The older guy (he looked like possibly the manager or owner) turned to the toaster and grabbed the toast that was sitting there. I returned to my table and the toast was cold. I just ate it. I'm not going to make a scene over this. But truly tacky on his part.
We'll definitely go back as perhaps we just happen to be that one "not great" experience. We want this restaurant to be successful and we want to contribute to their success. I will definitely update my review if my/our next experience is better.
