John’s Take:<\/strong> I ordered the Breakfast Quesadilla, and my first impression was good lord this this is humongous. The taste was a little lacking without salsa or a hot sauce, but at least the hot sauces are free. The potatoes that come with the dish were incredible, super tasty and cooked to perfection, probably my favorite thing from the meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a table, we also ordered chips and salsa and the chunky (haha) guacamole. Both the salsa and the Guac were pretty awesome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also ordered a Paloma, which was just kinda okay, nothing too special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Callie’s Take:<\/strong> I was originally going to order the veggie A.M. Burrito (I was told they leave the bacon off the regular A.M. burrito and add cucumber) when our waitress warned me that it was huge. Thank god she did because when the table behind us received theirs, it was about the same width and length as my 24oz Owala water bottle!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went with the Avocado Toast (minus the pepitas) instead. It was still a sizable portion that included two slices of their seed bread, and it was absolutely covered in fresh avocado, arugula, corn, pickled red onion, and cherry tomatoes. There were also some picked jalapenos that added a bit of a sweet heat, but I would dip the pieces I cut off into the Serrano hot sauce which added the additional kick I needed. The meal definitely filled me up, but there was just so much piled up on top that would fall off while eating that made it a bit hard to get a balanced bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Barrio’s chunky guacamole is always a hit, especially when you squeeze the lime onto it. Their salsa holds up well, though this one did have some random large tomato chunks that texturally I am not a fan of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Annie’s Take:<\/strong> I didn’t really know what to order initially so I went with the tried and true Breakfast Tacos. They were good but (always with me with but, but, but) it was really messy to eat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Breakfast Tacos included \u200bpotato-chorizo hash, scrambled eggs, salsa borracha, chihuahua cheese and avocado crema. The chorizo provided a pretty good kick and the eggs were fluffy. The only issue was it was so hard to get a bite of everything together so I really only ate eggs and chihuahua cheese together then the rest of each taco. There was also quite a bit of oil from the chorizo. But I can’t really complain\u2014they were tasty and reasonably price. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
