La Balance Cafe Mexicana — Restaurant in Fulshear

My brother usually takes our 87 yr old mom to breakfast as she lives near him. This Saturday he was out of town so I got to take mom out. When I picked her up I asked what she wanted and she said she didn't care. Me being on a "new place" and taco kick Yelled "breakfast tacos near me" and LaBalance came up as close by and one I've never been to before. So off we go. It was close, like 2 miles away. I'd passed it many times and have no idea why I hadn't stopped before. We were treated by the owner and seated. Menus brought out and various hot sauce bottles put out. The menu had several breakfast items but what caught my attention was an off menu plate I had no idea what it was. The owner said it was Chilaquiles. He described it and that what I went with. They brought out a place with something I've never had before - next to 2 fried eggs (my choice) and seriously good refried black beans, was a pile of corn tortilla chips tossed in a red sauce with a crema sauce, cilantro y avocado sliced on top. (See the pic). The beans and eggs were very good, bet the "red chips" were outstanding and a bit spicy. The were still crispy and had a great flavor from the sauce. And again, some heat! I just about ate it all, huge plate, but I was done. As for my mom, she had the Fulshear Supreme breakfast burrito. Packed with about everything, it too looked good and she said so. She ate half and the rest went home. The owner and his wife were supper nice and explained a bit of their history. Originally they were an Italian restaurant and wine bar but Covid stooped that and rebranded as a Mexican restaurant. He said the specialize in true Mexican food as opposed to Tex-Mex - similar foods with a different flavor. Owners wife said they still do wine tasting so we're gonna look into that. I'll definitely be back and report back the next...

We’ve been to La Balance several times at their last location. This was our first time at the new location. The staff was very welcoming, courteous and nice. The food was delicious tasting except the profiteroles, which had been over cooked to a crisp. I needed to use a knife to crack through them. We ordered the fois gras and the crab cake as appetizers. They were both delicious but for $18 and $15 the portion size even for a French restaurant is pushing it. We then ordered filet mignon and duck. Again both very tasty but not enough sides. The servings of meat were very reasonable but were accompanied in my case by 1 Brussels sprout, 3 green beans, 1 carrot and a smudge of mashed sweet potatoes, which just wasn’t enough to finish the duck with. Finally even though I was wearing a sleeveless short dress, we were very uncomfortable and sweating profusely towards the end of the meal with a temperature of 83 degrees inside. For all the above reasons and the fact that after $120, we were both still hungry enough to stop somewhere else to have another dessert, I give La...
