| - I spend a lot of time walking on Dundas, so it was inevitably that I'd stop into Provo FoodBar to sample their wares.
We arrived around noon on a Saturday and the place was about half full. I glanced at the brunch menu and immediately made my choice: Huevos Rancheros (tortillas + refried beans + 2 eggs + avocado + salsa rosa). I was asked how I wanted my eggs prepared and, of course, I said overeasy. (What's better than breaking into the yolk and letting it run all over the plate? Nothing, I say!)
The dish arrived a short time later and looked like a picture-perfect example of Huevos Rancheros. And indeed, this was a very, very tasty example of the Mexican staple. The fried tortillas were on point, and the refried beans/salsa roja were a perfect accompaniment. (I also really dug the guacamole and sour cream that were presented on the side.)
My only real complaint here was the almost total lack of spice. There were a couple of jalapenos contained within the dish, but aside from that there wasn't a hint of heat to this dish. I asked for hot sauce, assuming that maybe there was a house-made dressing I could use, but was offered either Sriracha or Tabasco.
That unfortunate element aside, I really, really enjoyed my meal and would happily return to try more of Provo's wares.
