The brunch menu had a lot of great sounding options including different kinds of benedict, a breakfast burrito, frittatas, french toast, sandwiches, burgers and salads. They are also "famous" for their beignets so we started with two orders of those. I've had great beignets in New Orleans before and they should be light and fluffy and addictive. These were chewy, dense and really rich. The carmel sauce on top of it was very sweet and sticky but it was the best part of the dish.
I got the breakfast burrito ($8) because who doesn't like eggs, cheese, guac and sour cream for breakfast? Unfortunately, the addition of the chorizo, which you think would be a positive addition, made the burrito really oily and greasy. At one point, when I cut the burrito open, a bunch of oil came out. I understand that when cooked chorizo releases lots of grease, but they could have done a better job of not transferring it into the tortilla. The roasted potatoes that were served with it were just ok, nothing like the potatoes I had a Longman and Eagle.
I give them points for the nice outdoor seating and the fact everyone was able to find something they could eat on the menu and the prices are very reasonable. The waitstaff was also really friendly which was also a redeeming quality of this place, but sadly the food just didn't help them earn any more forks.
