"One classic San Diego brunch spot! They have the fairly standard brunch menu but just like most brunch here in San Diego, they offer dishes with a Mexican twist. We walked in for a party of 2 for a Monday brunch and were seated immediately. I'd imagine given the popularity, there will be a waitlist during weekend brunch time. Parking here is a pain as while there is a lot, it is almost always full at all hours of the day, so you will want to budget time to find street parking. My friend and I tried the chorizo scramble, brisket hash, salted caramel budino, and chocolate bacon pancakes. Chorizo scramble has a good amount of chorizo, served with potatoes, a slice of bread, and fruit, so that in itself is a nice meal for one. It also has lots of cheese on top so it makes it quite hearty. The potatoes here are more flavorful than the hash. Brisket hash the brisket here is fairly smoky and tender, and mixed together with the sauce and poached eggs, is another nice dish. The dish did feel quite repetitive quickly even with the variety of ingredients, as without that small dollop of sauce, the dish was a little dry. The salted caramel budino is a coffee drink which is a shot of espresso with lots of whipped cream and caramel. Think of it as a sweet version of an einspänner. Chocolate bacon pancakes were good as a dessert but I honestly felt like I could not taste much of the chocolate nor especially the bacon, so while it sounded interested, I felt a little underwhelmed with this dish. Service is okay as water refills took a while but otherwise our requests are fulfilled relatively on time. Overall, this is a pretty solid brunch place, but I just have had better and have higher expectations given the popularity."
