As much as I like Cafe Siena, there's really only one thing that keeps me coming back: The chilaquiles.
Anyone familiar with Mexican chilaquiles or even their very similar Tex Mex cousin knows the basis for the dish is leftover tortillas. Well, these chilaquiles are a very unusual masa casserole, baked all together and served up like you might serve lasagna. As unorthodox as it is, it's a rich delicious meal great after a night of drinking, and still great after a night of not drinking. Either way, a rich and spicy plate served up with a cup of coffee is one of my very favorite breakfasts in the world
Unique take on the classic dish, or simply a less common style? Maybe someone out there knows, or maybe I just need to do some more research.
I'm already looking forward to my next trip home.
