| - Mark's Cafe has by far the best breakfast I've had in a long time. The food was absolutely phenomenal. My omelet was so flavorful and rich, the biscuit was flaky and warm, and the sausage gravy was to die for! My boyfriend got a waffle filled with chorizo and green chiles topped with scrambled eggs and spicy gravy. Now, I am the biggest baby when it comes to spicy, but after trying a bite of this waffle, I was ready to keep eating despite the burn on my sensitive taste buds. That tells you just how delicious and flavorful this breakfast was.
We got to speak with the daughter of the owner and she was telling us all about Mark and his vision for the restaurant. They offer a New England style just-like-home breakfast with the bold flavors you find in the southwest. Nothing is ever frozen, every vegetable is hand cut, all the ingredients are bought from local farmer's markets,... You don't get a breakfast more fresh than that, and that freshness is so apparent in the taste.
The worst part was that we each could only fit in the one meal, but I cannot wait to go back and try everything else one their vast menu. There were so many options that all looked so delicious it was nearly impossible to choose. Often, when a restaurant has that many options, they can't specialize in any of them, but at Mark's, anything on their five-page menu could be the chef's specialty.
On top of the food, the service and environment were impeccable. Mark's is a real mom-and-pop shop that offers a comfortable feeling of home with delightful conversation. Everyone on the wait staff was kind, funny, interesting, and knowledgable. They were so personable and sweet and they genuinely cared that you had a good experience.
You would think that for such amazing service and even more amazing food, you would have to pay a pretty penny, but the prices were beyond reasonable. I was happy to pay what I did and then some. These hard-working folks deserve every cent.
Thanks a million to everyone at Mark's Cafe! You guys made my morning and I am already thrilled to head back next weekend!!
