Went for breakfast on a friend's recommendation. Had the Huevos divorciados con fajitas. Everything was perfect. The Salsas were amazing, the beans traditional and rich and flavorful, the fajitas I've been thinking about all day since. And for a very modest price point. I'm obsessed now with finding opportunities to go back there and I live on the other side of town.
