"specifically for the huevos divorciados smothered in both tangy salsa verde and tingly salsa roja - the sweets surprised me this time.

Cafe De Olla, with locations in Monrovia and Burbank, offers an expansive menu of chilaquiles, breakfast burritos, enchiladas, and weekend menudo, and a concha French toast that is sliced, soaked in a milky custard, and griddled to create a buttery, warm tres leches–like experience. Sliced strawberries and bananas add brightness while a condensed milk drizzle amplifies sweetness, making maple syrup unnecessary.
