Tacos de Cochinita Pibil and Huevos Sanborns from Sanborns Café

¡Feliz martes! For breakfast today, we visited Sanborns Café, a restaurant and junior department store chain recommended by my colleague.

Hubby ordered the huevos Sanborns because it has eggs and it includes the name of the restaurant. It's delicious, but we were uncertain about how to eat it. Should we dip the toast into the creamy bowl of egg or should we spread the refried beans on the toast and top it with egg and sauce? We tried both and the result is equally amazing. (Note to self: Ask colleague how to eat this dish the Mexican way.)

I chose something not fit for breakfast - Tacos de Cochinita Pibil. Cochinita Pibil is on the book: Lonely Planet's Ultimate Eats: The World's Top 500 Food Experiences... Ranked. So when I saw it, I just had to try it. It was great. Although, super heavy and greasy for breakfast - the savoury and salty flavour is perfectly balanced by the earthy refried beans. The pork is tender and melt in your mouth.
