If you see a poor review about this place, I would take it with a grain of salt. Parking may be tough, but this place is gorgeous inside.

The menu can be a bit overwhelming because it has some foods on there that most of us are unfamiliar with. I started off with coffee and a bloody Mary. The bloody was chock full of flavor and was garnished with these pickles that I would gladly eat a gallon of.

My main dish was the patacon with chorizo and huevos. This was some stupid good cilantro rice on top of a smashed fried plantain, with a side of salsa. The eggs and chorizo were served off to the side. This dish was fantastic. The chorizo was nice and spicy, the plantain was sweet, and the acidity of the salsa tied very well with the fattiness of the eggs.

It was so good, in fact, that I had to get seconds. My second dish was a side order of the pancake and French toast.

Honestly, I've had better pancakes. They're really good, don't get me wrong, but they're no mom and pop butter heavy hot cakes.

Don't sleep on the company French toast though. I could have eaten a loaf of this stuff. They're brioche French toast, so they retain a lot of the milk/egg mixture, but these had a crust to them that made it taste like they were cooked over a fire. They were outstanding.

Three cheers to old engine 3, I look forward to eating here again.
