Welcome back to mmm-yoso!!! the food blog written by a few friends. Kirk is on vacation with His Missus (still) in a faraway land (and eating exotic foods and having adventures you will enjoy reading about), ed is in Yuma working away and hopefully is eating and today, Cathy is blogging.
Hi again. Looking at my posting history, The Mister and I seem to really enjoy going out for breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and occurs during the least stressed part of the day. I guess that is a good part of the enjoyment factor.
A few days ago, The Mister and I had to be downtown early and only had a coffee before leaving the house. Neither of us considered the no traffic part of the day and we were more than an hour early. We drove over to India Street and stopped.
We have been to El Indio, a San Diego institution for more than 30 years, for breakfast before and I was kind of craving something salty. Perfect.
We ordered, paid and sat down. While waiting I took photos of the Las-Vegas-like decor.
Soon, my name was called and I picked up my tray.
Which consisted of a ham, egg, potato and cheese breakfast burrito the size of my 8 inch plate.
The ham was only slightly salty and complimented by the fresh cooked, crispy edged potatoes and plentiful amount of scrambled eggs. All on the fresh gigantic flour tortilla, at $4, this was more than enough food.
I got what I usually order here, Huevos Albanil ($5.25). Two easy cooked eggs, placed on top of fresh toasted corn tortillas toped with albanil sauce (green tomato sauce-not the salsa, which has onions), shredded Mexican cheese (I think it is Cotija, but maybe not) and served with excellent refried beans and hot corn tortillas.
Excellent and fun breakfast. A wonderful way to start the day.

Cheesy good, James.
The refried beans here are nice and lardy, bill. The crispy fired corn tortillas under the eggs are most likely quick fried in lard too. My Family Doctor will just yell at me about this meal...
