Some of my favorite diner foods are those with a spicy kick. Bring me breakfast burritos, huevos rancheros, or chilaquiles anytime and I am a happy camper. Enchiladas with poached eggs is another dish that I really enjoy. Served with a screwdriver or a Michelada this brunch special is the perfect way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo.

Cook eggs longer if a firm yolk is preferred.

Featured Diner:

Taco house in Denver is a inexpensive Mexican diner. Their cheese and onion enchiladas and taco burgers are some of my personal favorites. This location at 1335 Wadsworth blvd in Lakewood hosts some of the fastest and friendliest service I have ever experienced, making this place a true diner experience.
