The large, split-level dining room and expansive patio at this long-running café is usually packed with hungry bargain-minded diners and workers and students pecking away on their laptops, taking advantage of the free Wi-Fi. Breakfast is served all day, and you might try the carne adovada burrito or blue corn pancakes. At lunch consider the grilled ham torta with smoked ham, cheddar, and chipotle mayo, or the big chile dog. Lots of juices, coffees, and teas are served, too. On weekend mornings, expect a wait for a table—this place packs 'em in. It closes at 8 PM nightly.

I agree with Fodor's accurate comments and would add that the Cowboy Bowl with potatoes, tomatoes, beans, cheese, and chile is also good for breakfast. They have a good hamburger, and several sandwiches and wraps, all of which are good, as are the salads and quesadillas. If it looks good to you on the menu, you will probably like it.
This is a line-up-at-the-counter-to-order cafe. Find a table, and when your food is ready the wait staff will find you by yelling your name. While the food is good, and we often go there for breakfast or lunch, it is not a place for quiet time.
