Their No. 1 breakfast (huevos rancheros, carne de puerco guisada, papas, frijoles, and fresh made-in-house tortillas) opened up a whole new breakfast world for me. Nowadays I usually go to Amaya's Taco Village in Capital Plaza. It's pretty good. More than that I would not say. If you do go there, get the corn tortillas. They are exceptionally good.

Closest thing to El Paso Mexican I've had since leaving home. They even have machacado...mmmm. Actually, I usually go for the c. pabil and the super taco (can't remember the name right now). If you're on the south side, it's Polvo's all the way. Best breakfast dishes and truly the best fajitas I've ever had. Be sure and go inside for all the yummy salsas.

If i'm in Austin i'm eating breakfast there. Tue Jan 25 13:21:57 -0800 2005 505659 0 Josh 1 506116 Give El Meson a try for a sit-down breakfast. You might be interested in sampling some breakfast tacos. Try Maria's (Taco X-press) on S. Lamar, Mi Madre's on Manor Rd, or Abarrotes in East Austin on Tillery. To get focused, a migas taco comparison would be fun. Thu Feb 24 19:58:10 -0800 2005 505659 0 Bill
