The quality of the Chilaquiles dish and the service is in sharp contrast to the atmosphere. The little corner strip mall is a bit run down and has a CircleK that can be downright scary at night. I ate my breakfast in the parking lot on a clean table under an EZ-UP but I left like a million bucks because the service and food were so good.
The Chilaquiles here includes a piece of carne asada, two eggs, rice and beans. You choose red or green chilaquiles. I ordered at the counter and went outside to sit down. You need to know some Spanish but everyone was nice about my horrible attempts at speaking. As soon as I sat down, someone brought me a chipotle salsa, an avocado salsa, and a basket of chips that have been lightly covered in beans and cheese and toasted. A free appetizer, nice!
Later the huge breakfast plate came out as you can see in the picture. Rice was perfectly fluffy, with a taste of tomato. The beans were creamy and had a hint of pork and epazote flavor. So good! The piece of carne asada was thin flap meat pounded and thoroughly cooked but had distinctive Asada flavor and wasn't too chewy. I appreciated that there was no fat or gristle so I could eat the whole thing easily. The eggs were prepared as I requested (broken yoke) and the whites were crispy. The star, the green chilaquiles, was delicious - piquant, tangy, sour, and rich all at the same time, like a good enchilada sauce. The chips were fresh, thick triangles - some tender from the sauce and others crispy from the lack of sauce. Garnish was some queso seco (dry, crumbly, salty Mexican cheese) and crema (thin sour cream). I cleaned my plate and now it's time for a siesta.
