Best Place To Get Nopalitos In Your Eggs

El Zarape

Take some of the better homemade flour tortillas in town, a genuinely friendly family, and a kitchen that churns out consistently good Tex-Mex and you have the makings of a secret that we've been loathe to share until now. The coffee is always fresh, the ambience cheery, and the staff ready to share their newspaper with the next reader who happens along. But the nopalitos with eggs are what keep us coming back. Prepared with a superb tomato-based sauce, the succulent cactus is never slippery as it can be when too hastily cooked. Folded into fluffy scrambled eggs, it's a dream breakfast come true.
