Mimi's Cafe--Fort Worth

I usually don't review chain restaurants that often but I love the breakfast here. The omelets are awesome and come with a muffin, your choice of juice and skillet potatoes. This breakfast can hold you most of the day.

Eggs, bacon, Monterrey cheese, and avocado served with salsa.

Parisian Omelet

 The Parisian omelet is seasonal and is topped with a roasted tomato cream sauce.

Service was excellent. There is often quite a wait on weekends.

Armenta's Cafe in San Angelo

Armenta's is a family-owned place in San Angelo.The hubby and I went to San Angelo for the day and wanted to find a place that the locals would recommend. We found it! The restaurant is located in a mostly residential neighborhood and is off the beaten path but well worth finding. It is fairly small but has an outside patio area that would be a nice place to sit in cooler weather.

I ordered chicken enchiladas with mole sauce and some guacamole on the side. Mole is hard to find so I had to try it. My husband had the Veracruz (green jalapeno pepper sauce) chicken enchiladas. Both meals were served with refried beans and rice.  Fresh tortilla chips and spicy salsa come with the meal. Dessert was a HUGE slice of homemade carrot cake. We really enjoyed our lunch. The prices were very reasonable, only $7.25 for the enchilada plates.

They had a large selection of seafood options as well, including ceviche. Sorry, no pictures. We were too hungry to remember to take some. I'll remember when we go again.

Yucatan Taco Stand in Fort Worth

Need a lunch while out shopping?  Give the Yucatan Taco Stand a go. We ordered the garlic shredded beef nachos to share. Judging by how many people I saw eating nachos, they are a popular item. The tortilla chips were thin and light and you can order a variety of meats as a topping or have vegetarian. They come topped with three types of cheese; melted Chihuahua cheese, chile con queso, and queso fresco. There is also roasted garlic sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion, cilantro, cabbage, jalapeno peppers, sour cream, and fresh guacamole. The garlic shredded beef had an Asian flavor to me but it was a good mix with the other items on the plate. There was not a lot of meat on the nachos but all the other toppings made up for it.

I also had a fish taco served in double white corn tortillas. The fish was tempura battered and not greasy at all. My sister had the ground sirloin taco. Best of all they were only $3.25 each.

The restaurant is located in the hospital district on Magnolia. You stand in line to order and then find a table but it doesn't feel "fast food" due to the extensive menu and upscale decor.  There is also a bar area. It is not very big space so I imagine it can get crowded at times. There are also patio tables outside.

I look forward to going back and trying one of the specialty dishes next time and the pork nachos.
