Recommended dishes include the Huevos Rancheros, Enchiladas Verdes, Huevo con Barbacoa Taco, and Pastor Taco. The Huevos Norteños and Maya Mocha were also mentioned. While the Pollo Taco was considered decent, it was less exciting than other options. The Carne a la Tampiqueña is suggested as a good dinner option.
