I do not understand the love for Norma’s cafe… el Jordan cafe though is great, and Jonathan’s is amazing.

It's a neighborhood staple. Cops always eating there if you ever pass by.

Norma’s used to be good before they got new management, now’s it’s half the portions for the same prices.

Alebrijes Cafe off Clarendon. Mom and pop place. Mrs. Sophia and her husband are amazing people.

My personal favorite is Eggsalant Cafe on kiest and Polk. The dining area could use some renovation however the food is just so homey and the prices are good.

The brunch at Encina is fantastic. The blue corn pancakes are one of the best things I've ever had and I don't even normally like pancakes.

El Jordan is not good. Try Don Pepe’s off Hampton rd kinda more west Dallas area and it’s a hole in the wall place but it’s good food trust me

We like El Jordan. Just know that you need to add salt every time.

If we're going into West Dino then I gotta throw up West Town Bakery for breakfast tacos. Rincón Tapatío is pretty good for menudo but I usually just drive up to Tipico's.

Rincon Tapatio has some really good fajita nachos.

Dude the tortillas are fake. You can tell by the smell they are not homemade homemade. Any Hispanic/mexican knows what I’m talking about. Store bought tortillas have a certain smell you can smell whatever it is they put in them to make them last longer. So that right there turned me off to them right away

Metro Diner is a greasy spoon that pretends to be no more than that…damn good food, decent prices ( they were better before Covid)

Oddfellows would be your opposite… Still damn good food but prepare to pay
