I hate leaving bad reviews, I really do, but sometimes honesty is necessary, and this breakfast…read moredeserves its own horror story!
I ordered the French toast topped with fresh strawberries, with a side of eggs, potatoes, and bacon. Sounds delicious, right? Well, buckle up, because this breakfast went downhill faster than a shopping cart with no brakes!
First up, the eggs.
They arrived looking perfectly edible. But looks can be deceiving! I took one bite, and immediately something tasted off. I couldn't even describe the flavor. My taste buds were so confused that I had to spit it out! Not exactly the breakfast experience I was hoping for.
Next contestant: THE BACON!
How do you mess up bacon? Seriously, HOW?! Bacon is practically impossible to ruin, yet somehow they managed to accomplish the unthinkable! It tasted old, bland, and completely lifeless. For the first time in my life, I actually thought bacon needed SALT! And trust me, I'm not even a salt person! I put it down and didn't bother finishing it. Somewhere, a pig is rolling over in its grave.
Moving on to the potatoes!
Now these little beauties looked AMAZING! Golden, appetizing, practically begging to be eaten. But once again, I was fooled! They weren't even cooked all the way through! HOW?! At this point, I was beginning to wonder whether the chef was actually cooking or just introducing the ingredients to the stove!
Finally, the French toast!
I thought to myself, "There's absolutely NO WAY they can mess up French toast!"
FAMOUS LAST WORDS!
WRONG AGAIN!!
The bread tasted old and stale, with that slightly hard texture you get when bread has been sitting around too long. It was as though someone found yesterday's forgotten loaf and decided to give it one last shot at glory. Unfortunately, that glory never arrived!
And now, ladies and gentlemen, the winners of today's breakfast competition!
The fresh strawberries! Absolutely delicious!
The café de olla! Wonderful!
The salsa! Fantastic!
Yes, you read that correctly. The highlights of my entire $45 breakfast experience were the STRAWBERRIES, COFFEE, AND SALSA!
And the salsa was so good that I wished they'd brought out some tortilla chips. At least I would've had something else to enjoy!
Meanwhile, my brother...
He ordered the chilaquiles and cleaned his plate. But let me explain something about my brother: he's a human garbage disposal! That man will eat practically ANYTHING! If he ever turns down food, somebody needs to call the health department immediately!
Even HE complained that his meat was cold! But naturally, that didn't stop him from finishing everything. That's my brother!
Now, here's where things get interesting...
I noticed the restaurant had a C rating!
A C?! WHAT?!
Suddenly, my breakfast experience started making a little more sense! I was also surprised to learn this restaurant has apparently been around for four years.
The total bill came to $45, including my coffee. My brother only had water.
Forty-five dollars for a breakfast where the strawberries were the star of the show and the bacon needed life support!
FINAL VERDICT:
Unfortunately, this was a terrible first impression, and I won't be returning. I genuinely wanted to enjoy this place, but nearly every cooked item on my plate was disappointing.
I don't enjoy criticizing a small business, and I sincerely wish the restaurant and its owners the very best. Hopefully, they'll take customer feedback seriously and make some improvements.
But as for me? I'll be taking my $45 somewhere else next time.
On the bright side, congratulations to the strawberries! They were apparently the only ones in the kitchen who showed up ready to work!
