On our first visit to Broken Yolk Cafe, we started out with the BYC Bloody Mary. Served with a slice of bacon, it’s a very tasty Bloody Mary but there was a unique flavor in it that I did not recognize. I think that the “vodka spirit” is not actually vodka but rather a wine-based spirit that simulates the vodka flavor profile and I think wine was the flavor I was picking up. Their Bloody Mary mix and Tajin rim is banging! It’s worth ordering as long as you don’t feel like it must be real vodka.
I enjoy a good corned beef hash, so I wanted to try the Hash Skillet. Unfortunately, the waitress said that they don’t prepare the hash fresh on the premises. I’m not a fan of canned hash, so I decided to order the Ranchero Skillet instead. It was very flavorful, although I would have liked the chorizo more prominent. I ordered the eggs over-medium but they were slightly overcooked (i.e. most of the yolk was not runny). Nonetheless, it was a satisfying dish overall.
My companion ordered the Chilaquiles Bowl with the green sauce. The eggs on her bowl were cooked perfectly over-medium. She said that salsa was very good and, as a Mexican, she knows how an authentic salsa verde should taste. They also managed to find that balance where the chips are well smothered with the salsa but still have some crispiness. This plate is definitely worth ordering.
For my fellow wheelchair users, this restaurant is very accessible. There’s plenty of room to maneuver between the tables through the room. Getting my lap fully under a table in my electric wheelchair is challenging in most tables I encounter at restaurants but there were a few of them at this cafe that would accommodate my wheelchair. One of the tables is designed and designated for the use of a person in a wheelchair. This is the one that we used and it was very open for maneuvering my chair around and under it.
Broken Yolk Cafe is a great place to go for brunch since they also have a full lunch menu. The portions were generous on both plates, so we left full and satisfied. I’ll definitely return because there are a few other dishes that caught my eye.
