The most popular breakfast item on the menu is the big, fluffy pancakes. You've never had pancakes like these. They're so big that they almost fall right off the plate, and they're so flavorful that you hardly need syrup.

While pancakes are the specialty of the house, the other breakfast items on the menu are just as yummy. Try the New Mexican omelet; it's savory, spicy, and filling.
