Serving breakfast all day. Mostly Mexican people having lunch. Hole-in-the-wall place. Menu board in Spanish. Huevos Rancheros: three fried eggs (three!!!) with beans, rice, ranchero sauce, tomatoes, onions, and tortillas.
So the food came with a cup of icy horchata (a cinnamon-vanilla milk, often made with almond milk), and the portions were very generous. Everything was hot and ready to eat. No cheese anywhere, which I was excited about. After all, I had three fried eggs on my plate, and the beans were probably made with lard. Nobody needs cheese in that situation.
Beans and rice, sooo tasty. Fried eggs were perfect. Ranchero sauce did not contain meat, and was spicy red loveliness. Tomatoes were grilled, yes! Pushed the onion slices aside, no problem. Then there was this sauce caddy full of amazing salsas...a dark smoky salsa, a thick salsa verde, and a reddish-orange mild salsa. All the sauces were incredibly tasty, and I drizzled some on pretty much every bite I took. I keep thinking about eating the meal all over again, start to finish. It was exquisite pleasure. I could eat their beans and rice drizzled with a trio of salsas for weeks, maybe. I'll try a breakfast burrito next. I can't wait to go back and stuff myself. Connected to Wikipedia's entry on "horchata" is an entry for "jamaica", another flavor of agua fresca. Iced and sweetened hibiscus concoction, here I come! Pic from Wikipedia: jamaica and horchata agua fresca.
Jalisco gets two thumbs up, plus maybe they'll tell me how to make their salsa trio.
