The huevos racheros with red and green are one of my favorite breakfast plates

We're good, I understand from a local that it's very popular. Place with the mine and oil workers who get there early. There was nobody really there when we were. It was somewhat hard to find. It's kind of hidden back in what looks to be a small group of shopping stores that may have been closed permanently. Or at least closed...read full review
