Its a very cute place with a bunch of egg themed art on the bright yellow walls and the service is good but when it comes to the actual food I was disappointed.
I got the egg and chorizo taco and presentation looked great but the flavor just wasn’t there.
It wasn’t seasoned much at all, very bland which I was not expecting.
I tried a bite of my friend’s food and it was also underwhelming, a bit better than mine but still not something I’d want to take another bite of.
The only thing I enjoyed was the hibiscus iced tea which I kept getting refills and basically filled up on bc I didn’t care much for the food so I it’s the only thing I can recommend.

I was visiting from WPB Florida and came in Saturday August 3rd right before attending a memorial service. I had this amazing dish.
I opted for eggs OE instead of scrambled.
OMG.
Spicy but also packed with complex flavors! And they had Sourdough toast(!),,.
They serve 1 slice which is good for the waistline.
Lol Derek's Favorites Eggs $16.00 Two eggs over chorizo, potato hash, jalapenos, red pepper, and topped with chihuahua cheese, chipotle ketchup, sour cream, and guacamole.
Served with desiree potato hash and your choice of toast. The staff was so welcoming and warm and All provided excellent service. The next day I called to see if I could get an ice coffee to go and they said "Sure".
When I arrived they not only had my coffee waiting but they treated me on the house! It was a difficult weekend but they provided some love and nourishment during my visit.

My family and I stopped here for a quick breakfast, and we cannot wait to come back! The Zarzamora French Toast was some of the best I ever had, and the Huevos Divorciados was perfection! The wait staff was so attentive, and our mugs never went empty :)
