Today was a house cleaning day, so to get things started on the right foot, we decided to get a nice hearty and quasi healthy breakfast to energize the day...
This little restaurant is nestled on Mission ave. right off Normal. It was a Saturday so we expected it to be somewhat busy, but was actually not that bad. There is not really table service, so you just order your food at the counter and either take it to go or wait for a table to clear out so you can steal it from the other waiting customers. The menu is made up of mostly egg dishes in their various forms, ranging from wraps to tortas to chilaquiles. There is a main menu board,but there are also randomly posted specials around the counter, on the door outside, and other places which kind of gives you that buyers remorse after you order because as you wait you find another interesting dish you may have wanted if only it was presented to you.
This is the Wife's Decaf Soy Peanut Butter Mocha. Piping hot, this coffee almost ruined my breakfast, but it was delicious. It was as if they actually melted peanut butter cups with the hot coffee. I don't think I could have consumed an entire cup, but it was a tasty beverage.
The Wife ordered a Chicken Mole Wrap. It comes in a regular flour tortilla, but you can substitute any kind that you want. The mole was very good and wasn't soupy or greasy at all. Usually when the Wife orders mole it turns out to be a bad experience. She did mention that after eating a whole wrap it becomes a little cloying.
I ordered the Turkey Sausage Wrap. It comes wrapped in a red tortilla which I forgot to see what it was but I assume it sun dried tomato. The eggs were nicely cooked and the sausage was very juicy and flavorful. The only other thin in this wrap was some green bell pepper. Like literally four tiny diced pieces. It was seasoned well, but was kind of boring. The eggs to sausage ratio was off. Maybe instead of just a couple of round slices of sausage, they could have maybe diced it up so it better dispersed or even better added more large chunks of sausage.
This was the salsa that came with the wraps. We weren't sure if it was marinara trying to be salsa or salsa trying to be marinara,but either way it worked ok with the wraps.
