I had the chilaquiles rojos, which came with 2 eggs, avocado, and refried beans. The refrieds were much better than a lot of those that I have had recently &#8211; they were darker in color and richer in flavor. The two eggs were done to perfectly medium &#8211; yolks slightly runny &#8211; yum! The salsa roja had a hint of spice and deep, rich flavor. The plate of food was more than I could eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"is-style-rectangular wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:66.74718%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1306\" data-link=\"https:\/\/accidentalmexpat.com\/?attachment_id=1306\" data-url=\"https:\/\/accidentalmexpat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PXL_20250323_183911497.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/accidentalmexpat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PXL_20250323_183911497.jpg?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open image 1 of 3 in full-screen\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:33.25282%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1307\" data-link=\"https:\/\/accidentalmexpat.com\/?attachment_id=1307\" data-url=\"https:\/\/accidentalmexpat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PXL_20250323_183906195.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/accidentalmexpat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PXL_20250323_183906195.jpg?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open image 2 of 3 in full-screen\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"1305\" data-link=\"https:\/\/accidentalmexpat.com\/?attachment_id=1305\" data-url=\"https:\/\/accidentalmexpat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PXL_20250323_180326999.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/accidentalmexpat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/PXL_20250323_180326999.jpg?w=800&#038;ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open image 3 of 3 in full-screen\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pros: fast, hot, delicious.
