| - I pass this place every time I'm in Fairview Park and finally was able to make plans to check it out. Sort of unassuming from the outside (and inside). Just some decorations on the wall, and plenty of seating space.
We went on a Monday morning, and it was pretty empty when we first got there (around 9:30am), which is what we basically expected. However, a half hour later, we were very surprised to see the place completely packed with some people waiting. CLEARLY, this place is THAT good if it's full on a weekday!
I had a hard time ordering because the menu is HUGE and everything looks delicious! Interestingly enough, I ended up ordering one of the few items that does NOT come with pancakes. They don't sell them a la cart either, you have to get 3 of them, which kind of stinks, but is understandable. I had the huevos rancheros (beans, with eggs- i got them scrambled and white, their green chili, cheese and avocado). Oh my goodness, was this dish DELISH!! I didn't even touch the tortilla it came with because of how TASTY the dish was and how occupied I was with eating it. Usually, I pour a ton of hot sauce on whatever breakfast egg dish I am eating, but their green chili sauce was so flavorful and had a nice kick to it, that I didn't need to! The dish came with their home fries and I added cheese and, holy moly, were the potatoes AMAZING. At the beginning of the meal, I said to myself, "I'll only have a bite or two of the potatoes" to save calories. Yeah, that did not work out as well as I had hoped once I tasted the potatoes. They were basically all gone by the end of the meal.
To drink, I ordered the coffee, and the waitress was pretty good about refilling when it was close to being empty. The service was okay. We did have to flag ours waitress down a few times to get things since she wasn't coming by often, but overall she seemed friendly, just also seemed a bit inpatient.
As far as pricing goes, it's decently priced, but every little change. coffee (don't think plain coffee should cost close to 3 dollars), etc starts tacking on the dollars really fast. And suddenly, your once 10 dollar bill is no longer that low.
Overall, amazing food! and I WILL be back :)
