Tulcingo Del Valle

You'll get a better feel for chilaquiles, a word derived from the Nahuatl for "herbs or greens in a salsa of chiles," from its colloquial meaning, "a broken-up, old sombrero." This Mexican breakfast standard (and reputed hangover cure) gives new life to broken-up tortillas in any number of regional variations — here, simply with a spicy red sauce, refried beans, grated cheese, and two over easy ($7.95).

Bright, diner-like setting; very accommodating of non-Spanish speakers.
