El Paso Taqueria
It's a sunny corner spot for a breakfast of huevos revueltos con nopales (scrambled eggs and cactus; $7) with rice, beans, and tortillas.
Scraped clean of needles, diced, and cooked, the leaflike cactus "paddles" have less snap than bell peppers, and they're more sour. Suggested pairing: the cinnamon-scented rice drink called horchata (or-Chot-uh; $2).
