Come for the vibe and people watching not for the chilaquiles. After living in mexico for over two years, I have an unassuming yet refined palette for chilaquiles. They're the dish that's almost impossible to do badly, however, this place succeeds in destroying this holy dish.

The BEC was on a bagel but the bagel was more like a brioche bun. Still delicious but next time I would try one of the other breakfast sandwiches to compare.
AMAZING place. Would 100% come again. I wish I had taken photos but we were too excited to eat the...
