Here are a couple more nice breakfasts.
Fernandez Restaurant and Catering:
It's been a few years since I've been here. I recently had some pretty terrible birria de res (an upcoming post) and needed to get something good into my system. Still located in that rather random apartment cum modified office building, they've put up a nice sign have a separate take-out window, and have a host/hostess podium now!
And the folding banquet chairs have been replaced with some pretty colorful versions as well......
As you notice; Jorge is still the main man here as everyone seems to know him. He smiles and talks to all the customers.
I got the Tacos de Birria con Nervio, man I love that tendon on top of those tacos.
Buttery tendon; nice beefy meat, seasoning and spices coming through, a fairly picante salsa, all in slightly crunchy, dipped, and fried tortillas (tacos dorados). Cilantro and onion, a squeeze of lime......and you're all set.
The consommé seemed to have more spices and was less beefy than I recalled, though it was just as rich. A touch of salt, squeeze of lime, some onions and cilantro for good measure and that "aaah" factor just came through.
As I mentioned in my post four years ago....I only wish this place was closer to home.
Good prices; very nice folks (not less than four people asked me how I enjoyed my meal), and delicious birria.

Breakfast at Supernatural Sandwiches:
So, I'm not sure if you saw this sign.
Yes, it says breakfast. Caught me totally by surprise. Though I gotta say they always have some new wrinkle.
The bummer was; breakfast is only from 9 to 11 am, Monday to Friday. How often am I able to get up here during those hours? Well, because of crazy scheduling and meetings close by, I was able to drop by around 930 and try a breakfast sandwich, one that held me all the way until dinner.
It was kind of strange seeing SuperNatural looking empty like this......
Anyway......now that I had a chance....why not have a "Sasquatch". I'm still waiting for the "Unicorn" BTW.
This was a good sandwich! I think it's the thick cut, not overly salty, griddled pastrami that really brought a lot of flavor and a bit of crispness to this, there was even a sneaky touch of spice hidden in his forest of food. Working in tandem with that buttery roll, this was an over-the-top sounding sandwich with flavors solidly rooted in what I expected.
Yes there's hashbrowns, but it went well with the egg and pastrami....which I wish was a bit more runny, but was decent.
Like I said....no lunch needed, this easily held me until dinner.
There are of course, always possible areas of improvement.....
-Like having moist towelettes, because these sandwiches are messy and I hate going to meetings with buttered-pastrami hands.
-I know these are young dudes, with probably great social lives....but I think they can manage to open at 9am on weekends and serve up some breakfast.....I really do.
-I'm still waiting for a sandwich that I know exists.....but I've never seen it....it must be invisible......of ham and pineapple flavor.... the Unicorn?
Well, at least I know Sasquatch exists, right? And it's pretty tasty.....

Too bad no breakfast on the weekends. That's the only time I venture out that way for Beeramar.

LOL, yum love them shrimp chips.
I thought it was a interesting pairing.

I know Junichi....I wish they were serving breakfast on the weekends.
I do too Billy.....though for breakfast...that's kind of interesting.
