Home Huevos Rancheros*
A crispy corn tortilla topped with black beans, two eggs over medium, peppercorn sauce and melted cheddar cheese! Served with our famous home fries and guacamole on the side.
Aside from the black beans on the tortilla it seemed like a safe enough bet. Instead it turned out to be one of the joke plates I try to avoid, but I kinda knew that would be the case. I was mostly intrigued to figure out this peppercorn sauce. As far as I can tell it just means they put some corn in the weak tomato sauce that has one “pepper” aka chile in it. Possibly a bell pepper since there is no hint of the magic burn of chiles. They add some cheddar cheese under the sauce that goes over the overcooked eggs.
Look at those hard beans getting in the way! And look at this, TWO properly fried corn tortillas stacked on top of each other, making it difficult to cut and eat. I don’t know where Americans get these weird ideas of stacking all kinds of things together into an HR plate, don’t they go out to eat at Mexican restaurants?
Afterwards I was no longer hungry plus I had a good chuckle. But a good plate of HR’s is elsewhere.

Lo siento mucho! It looks sooo… pretty. With just a few tweaks, they could server some really good HR’s! The fries look good; the eggs look good; so mebbe they just need to use just one fried tortilla, and use a REAL salsa ranchera instead of some mild LA version, and learn how to cook beans.
huevos con papas fritas y guacamole? we are talking a new different language here.
