"Since 1990, the scent of toasted cinnamon wafting in the dining room from pots of cafe de olla, warm corn tortillas on a comal, and fresh-cut papaya have welcomed Tijuanenses into a charming restaurant that evokes classic Mexico. Fried cubes of herbed potatoes and refried beans come with everything, from the machaca ranchera, or beef jerky sauteed with tomatoes, onions, and peppers, to tangy huevos rancheros, the house omelet bathed in a chipotle cream sauce, an a variety of chilaquiles. Its owners also operate Talavera Azul, the popular Chula Vista breakfast spot." - Bill Esparza
