Description

The menu leans on simple staples, featuring a crispy-tortilla breakfast burrito packed with eggs and beans, a cheeseburger that avoids feeling heavy, and a chocolate chip cookie that stands out as a menu favorite. Drinks like coconut margaritas and Vesper martinis pair with plates of patatas bravas. Because the space is small, there is very limited indoor seating beyond a few spots along the wall, though sidewalk tables offer an outdoor alternative right by the windows.
