Chilaquilicious
1123 E. Alosta Ave.
Azusa, Ca
I was in the mood for chilaquiles for breakfast & was looking to my surprise, this came up.
In case you don't know what these are. Chilaquiles are a traditional Mexican dish consisting of crispy tortilla pieces simmered in red or green salsa. Sometimes mixed with scrambled egg or the eggs on the side.
Recently it's been a "hit & miss" as some places don't put enough sauce, the chili sauce (red) is
too hot or the green sauce doesn't have enough flavor.
They have 3 dish 🍽 options, I chose the #2 chilaquiles with potato & chorizo. My buddies chose the same, but with carne asada.
While they prepare the fire, they provide you with a bowl of frijoles (refried beans) & various sauces.
The sauces go from mild to Death (very hot) 😆
The portions aren't out of control, but enough get full & possibly take some home. Eggs are eggs. When ordering tge chilaquiles, they give you the option of red or green sauce or..... they can do a half & half. I figured the best way is to try both !
The chilaquiles aren't drowned in sauce nor is it missing huge areas of no sauce. It was a happy medium of soft & crunchy. The green sauce was packed with flavor. It went well with the eggs 🥚 & potatoes 🥔. The red sauce was kinda bland, but thats not their fault. I forgot that you can adjust the heat to your likeness.
The potato with chorizo was good. The cut size of the potatoes are decent size. The chorizo (pork sausage) tasted good. The one problem is had was that the ratio of potato vs chorizo was off. They could have put a more generous portion of chorizo to compliment the potatoes better.
(MORE CHORIZO)
I tried the carne asada plate, meat was well cooked, not dried out & had good taste. So you shouldn't go wrong here with either protein choice.
We ordered café de olla which had almost have that ratatouille moment of fireworks 🎆. It was really good. The other thing that caught me here is that they serve "choco-milk". Basically the Mexican version of milk chocolate. Ordered it, loved it, took me back to my younger years.🥛 🧋 Tjough a bit more choco-milk would be better.
The other point is the menu 😋
Its short & straight to the point. Some places when they give you the menu, it's like they are handing you an encyclopedia. Its almost like, "did i come here to eat or am I at the library 🤔?!"
One thing that I noticed is that they're combined 2 things i love. It was a Torta (sandwich 🥪 ) with chilaquiles. Did I order it ? No. But I will the next time I go visit. Looks like you can add carne asada on it as well.
Restaurant has been here for close to 2 years & shows to have a strong clientele. As you can see on the menu they have other choices, but their main focus are chilaquiles. The beans are salty so they are. Great for those who watch their sodium. But depending who's cooking, it could be hit & miss.
If you love chilaquiles, than I found a restaurant you may want to visit. The place is kept very simple & clean. You can take your food to go or eat in the dining area. The price isn't outrageous for what you get.
Overall, it was very satisfying & enjoyable. Would i recommend ? Most definitely, especially for breakfast. Staff was courteous & helpful. Money well spent.
Out of 5 spoons 🥄🥄 🥄 🥄 🥄
I would rate this at 4.4 spoons.
