Bargain Breakfast at Eva's Hawaiian Cafe

[Cynsa]

If you like rice with your eggs, go to Eva's on Clement Street for breakfast.

French Toast Combo: six small French Toast pieces, 1 egg, 3 slices of bacon $5.95
One Egg Breakfast: 1 egg, 2 scoops rice, with choice of bacon, Spam, Portugese sausage, or ham $4.25
Breakfast Sandwiches for $3.25
- Of course, there's Loco Moco; the two eggs on two hamburger patties with brown gravy with scoops of rice and macaroni salad (or a green salad) for $7.95 or a half-version (mini) for $5.95. The regular version is truly enough for two. The Mini is just right for me.

Eva's Hawaiian Cafe

Do they by any chance have fried rice and eggs? This is one of my favorites... thanks!

This kitchen might make fried rice and eggs just for you - ask and report back, please. I really love garlic fried rice—with two eggs, day or night.

Hmmm, it's not likely to be soon since that's a bit of a trip from Bernal for breakfast, but if I do get there I will report back.

I'd like to find a Hawaiian place close to Bernal (i.e. anywhere south of Market) that does fried rice, fried eggs and portuguese sausage, that was the only thing I ever ordered at Tita's and they did it well. The walk back home always made me feel less bad about the heart-attack-on-a-plate factor.

Heart Attack On A Plate? Let's not go there... I'm eating Crispy Pata for breakfast this morning...
Irma's Pampanga restaurant at the corner of 16th Street and South Van Ness has Garlic Fried Rice for $2 - I think they'd fry an egg or two for you!
hours: 8 am to 8 pm Monday to Saturday

I don't know how the Longsilog compares to Portugese sausage, do you?

[rworange]

Longsilog is sweeter. Spit at me if you will ... on Upper market which was near Albertsons (don't know if it is still there) does excellent garlic fried rice with an egg. I forget the sausage varieties available.

[bernalgirl]

Irma's is worth trying, thanks! The sausage is secondary to a nicely fried egg and the fried rice, and that is a very doable walk.

I like breakfast, especially when I'm not cooking it. This morning we had the Breakfast Sandwich (Portugese Sausage and Egg) and the French Toast Combo. Where else can two breakfasts total $9.98 + tip?
The Breakfast Sandwich was perfect with a smear of mayo on the toast with the cold crunch of lettuce, the slice of tomato, the slices of Portugese sausage and the egg omelette. The French Toast was strangely tough, not rubbery, but certainly not tender to the fork. Was it cooked too quickly at too high a temperature...or, not soaked long enough in the egg-milk mix? Once it was sopped with syrup and egg yolk, it was deemed just fine ... I'll post on Home Cooking to query technique!

Thanks, nice pics. Looking at the French toast maybe they didn't soak it long enough in the egg mixture. That sometimes causes that texture.
