| - My husband and I happened to be in Phoenix and looking for Sunday breakfast and found this wonderful place. At 10 am on a Sunday they quoted a 20 minute wait, and it was just that (that is very resonable). I do love coffee and for $2.50 you get a never ending carafe...no vanilla or hazelnut creamers, just half and half, but the coffee is worth it. I rarely drink more than 1 cup, but had 3. Excellent diner drip coffee! Yes, the OJ is fresh and you get a free refill, but it IS massive orange pulp, my husband spit out 2 seeds. Still, the FLAVOR is wonderful!
On to the food! I had the El Paso Omelette, omitted the chorizo and asked for bacon! My husband had the San Francisco French toast, triple berry special. Mine was 3 fluffy eggs in an omelette with God knows how many pieces of crispy, smoky crumbled bacon, that substituted the chorizo... succulent onions, medium spicy green chiles, tender tomatoes, wonderful savory black beans and melted cheddar cheese! Along with the home fries that were so savory and flavorful. They reminded me of what was served from my grandmother's cast iron skillet! Plus instead of toast, got 2 fluffy, light pancakes, scented with lemon zest. It's a very unassuming flavor, but citrus is designed to clean the palate so you can eat more without feeling so full! Not a bad thing!
My husband's San Francisco French toast, on sourdough and then deep fried to give that final crunch, was incredible. And with the 3 berries (strawberry, blueberry, blackberry) and hot maple syrup made it a special, but not TOO sweet combo. Plus 2 over medium perfect eggs and 2 slices of exceptional crispy bacon!
We don't often get to Phoenix, but always have Sunday breakfast. It was $33.00 plus tip, a little more for breakfast, but for what we got, it was well worth it!
