Rick Bayless, Minus Topolo: Part 2

July 11th, 2010 · 1 Comment

This is gonna be a quick one, as there really isn’t much to XOCO’s breakfast menu. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t great. Along with our friends Leesa and Scott, we tried a couple of pastries (yum) and two of the hot entrees.

Empanada, XOCO

The empanada was nice and flaky on the outside, tasty on the inside. Nice if y0u’re looking for something small but savory.

Egg & Chorizo Torta, XOCO

The chorizo and egg torta was yummy. While I was slightly disappointed that the bread didn’t have that lovely crusty edge to it that the woodfired lunch tortas have, I thought the softer texture went well with the fillings. And speaking of fillings, the thin slices of avocado gave a really nice, creamy complement to the scrambled ingredients.

What’s also nice about breakfast is that you can get it to go, and there are fewer options, so things move a little more quickly.
