Our very favorite breakfast taco hang out is Mi Madre's in Austin. Well, I'm here to tell you that I have found a local Houston spot that is just as good, if not, better than Mi Madre's. Chilosos is on E. 20th Street in The Heights. It's a little house with outdoor tables on a covered front porch that must have once shaded a porch swing. Inside it still has the little rooms, peppered with tall bar tables. Our table was in the corner, watched over by Audrey peeking in at us from the window of Tiffany's, coffee and cruller in hand. A very good sign. There's an open kitchen behind glass where you can see all the breakfast tacos being built to order. Now, many places make tortillas in their kitchens but these tasted like they made them fresh with each order. There are five or six different varieties....and the kitchen got every one in our order wrong. But we didn't care-because every one was better than the next! Whether filled with chirizo, bacon, Chappel Hill, or Owens, the "egg and meat and potato" combo was excellent. Top it with the super green or red salsa and you are in heaven. When I asked for orange juice, I was asked "bottle or fresh squeezed?". Definitely splurge the $3.25 for the fresh!!! Huge glass mug with ice and orange juice that was so fresh it could have been growing out back a minute before. Bliss.
Now, be sure to get out there before it's discovered!
