La Parilla Mexicana
Whenever I want to eat a Mexican breakfast underneath an
umbrella festooned with colored lights, I always stop in at La Parilla. For the
longest time I didn't know this restaurant was one of a chain of four that has
been showing up on best of lists for years. It has such a colorful (and I mean
that literally), idiosyncratic personality that I just assumed it was one of a
kind; I know for sure its huevos borrachos are one of a kind. Fried eggs on top
of corn tortillas with, of course, salsa, beans and--for me--flour tortillas. The
egg seeps down into the corn tortilla creating a kind of Mexican French toast. Be
aware that the menu is entirely in Spanish and your server will assume that you
know what you’re getting--which is okay because whatever you get will be good.
