| - The family and I went there for Brunch on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Even though we arrived shortly after 12pm we still got a table right away (inside, as the patio seats, "with side order of bees" was totally full).
Weekend crowd is noticeably different from weekday crowd. I work in the area, so I know that the lunch time crowd typically includes a good mix of office workers. On the weekend it's all locals, young couples, hipsters from the many many new condos in the area.
The back room is incredibly loud -- the brick wall causes the sound to bounce around, and as the room fills up, the sound level elevates exponentially. Not the best for a quiet romantic meal if that's what you are looking for.
Food was good, but not great. Poached eggs were a tiny bit overdone, and short ribs/au jus in the brunch bowl overwhelms and literally drowns everything else in the bowl.
I ordered the Huevo Rancheros with Chorizo. The sausage was deliciously spicy and added a lot to the dish. Without that $3 option, I might have given them only 2 stars. Good amount of fresh guac but I didn't notice the roasted corn (might have been there but there wasn't much and it got buried). I didn't notice that it came on a hard taco shell, I think I might have preferred it on bread/toast but I guess that would have made it less Tex-Mex.
Classic breakfast looked OK. Bacon was nicely crisped. Lots of home fries. But they only give you two eggs whereas for $11 I would have expected three as you'd get at most of the chain BF places.
Coffee was good and strong, and refills kept coming, so I can't complain about that.
Interesting that people say they are known for the weekend brunch menu, I found that the weekday lunch menu is far superior.
