I am the kind of parent that childless people hate. I take my kids to hip restaurants and am not deterred by the complete lack of booster seats, high chairs, or chicken fingers on the menu. I am simply not content to while away my weekends at home or limit our outings to places that have designated stroller parking. I wheel our mammoth double wide into petite boutiques and carry my cooing baby into austere galleries. We boldly go where no family unit has gone before.

Loco for Poco’s.

It’s high time that I praised Poco’s on the Boulevard.  It is my absolute favorite place for an indulgent, food-coma breakfast.  You can’t consume a meal at Poco’s without having to loosen your belt a few notches on the way out. 

 

  

Chef Lorenza “Poco” Gutierrez has created a menu of excellent Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner dishes. It would take several blog posts to cover the highlights.  So, let me just say that everything I have ever tried at Poco’s was delicious and I’ll settle for telling you about breakfast. And what a breakfast it is.

You can get fluffy eggs scrambled with jalapeño, onion, tomato, and cactus (Huevos a la Mexicana).  Or you can order a savory omelette with spinach, onion, jalapeno, tomato and goat cheese (Popeye’s). The Chilaquiles will rock your world with tender tortillas and fiery flavor. There are Pecan Waffles, Malted Waffles, French Toast and Pancakes for those who like sweets in the morning.

Ninos 10 and under can order from the $4 kids menu.  Even a kid with a colossal appetite would be hard pressed to finish this plate heaped with two humongous Mickey shaped pancakes, scrambled eggs and two slices of crispy bacon.

 Tip: the Toast and Egg option is a better bet for tykes with smaller stomachs.

 

A former Wade’s restaurant, the Poco’s building still gives off that 50’s diner vibe. You might think that would be at odds with the Latin American cuisine, but I think it makes the place feel warm and welcoming.

 

My toast to Poco’s: Here’s to happy to eating and never letting a good breakfast go to waste (just be sure that you’re wearing pants with an elastic waist!).
