| - I am really surprised by all of the 4 and 5 star reviews. Did we eat at the same place? Don't get me wrong, some of the food was good. But I don't think it was $75 good. My friend Rachel and I came in for brunch on Sunday 2/21. You can find this place in a small shopping center where BFE meets Far as hell. (Horizon Ridge and Valle Verde). It was pretty busy, but we only waited about 30 minutes and then we were seated inside at a small table in the back. I would have preferred to have eaten outside because it was such a beautiful day, but luckily our table was all by itself, although it was still a tight squeeze. We were given room temperature water, with no ice, and then some menus. We had a game plan and knew we wanted to try a bunch of things, so we both ordered what we wanted and then split everything. We tried:
Peach and Pineapple mimosas $6 each- I had the peach and thought it was tasty and reasonably priced. I wish they had a bottomless option though, because who doesn't love bottomless mimosas during brunch?
Croque Madame $11- This was very good. This sandwich was made with challah bread, thick ham, gruyere cheese and a sunny side up egg, then the whole thing was covered in bechamel sauce. It was savory, salty and cheesy. It came with a side salad of arugula and tomatoes with a vinaigrette dressing which was good
Pb&J pancakes $13- Probably my favorite thing I tried. The pancakes were really sweet although there was minimal pb&j. I added some of their housemade vanilla syrup and yeah I'd like to purchase a bottle of that stuff asap.
Social Pecan Roll $3- We originally wanted the monkey bread but they were out, so we got this instead. It came out warm and had a nice flavor.
Jalapeno Bacon $4- It's bacon and it's jalapeno flavored. What's not to love?
Biscuits $3- The biscuits came out hot and were served with house made jam. These are the poster child of how biscuits should be-flaky, buttery and delicious.
Tostada $8- There are actually 2 tostadas to an order, which was perfect since we were sharing. The tostada had pork, black beans, slaw and a quail egg. There was also some sauce drizzled over the top of the tostada.
Breakfast Taquitos $9- The taquitos also had a slaw on top of them, this one was a lil spicy and had jalapenos but was quite good. I found myself eating the slaw by itself after the taquitos were long gone. The taquito itself was not memorable though.
Rachel also got coffee and a fruit cup for her son, which by the way took forever to arrive. I don't know if they don't have highchairs but we weren't offered one, so maybe think twice about bringing young kiddos. Our total for both meals was $75. Now I am by no means cheap, but this is ridonkulous for brunch. Looking back, I can't believe we spent that much money especially since we only ordered 2 main plates. We did get a military discount and that did knocked the price down $14, but nothing was so amazing that I have to come back and spend that much money again. All in all I think this was my first and last time here. The service was intermittent. Our food took about an hour to come out of the kitchen. They were out of 2 of the items (monkey bread and empanadas) we originally ordered so we had to settle for other things. And it was really warm in the dining room and made our dining experience a bit unpleasant.
