It is no secret that I have an ongoing love affair with Mexican breakfast cuisine. In my previous post Lost In Translation, I hinted briefly at one of my favorites here in Houston known as Jarro Cafe. I first became aware of this little gem from an article in Texas Monthly suggesting the 50 best Mexican restaurants in the state. Jarro may be known for its tacos which you might find in the trailer out front...
and crazy salsa tray but I have fallen in love with this brightly colored joint for other reasons.
This is the home of not only numerous homages to the Beatles and a good selection of classic rock, but an amazing breakfast known as Aja Baraja. The Aja Baraja is a version of my favorite breakfast chilaquiles, fried tortillas soaked in salsa, on steroids. The plate comes loaded with chilaquiles covered in Mexican cheese, two eggs, and a thin strip of fajita meat.
The flavor is intense to say the least, a green tomatillo salsa with some kick to it really just ties the entire dish together and has me coming back as often as I can.
