Tiztal Cafe

What people say, in short
Tiztal's chilaquiles and oatmeal shake are the recurring breakfast recommendations. The country fried steak also earns endorsements, including one diner who likes its biscuits, gravy and breakfast potatoes. A dissenter finds the chilaquiles too soggy, explicitly treating that as a preference. The appeal is therefore strongest for diners drawn to those particular breakfast dishes rather than an uncontested claim about every item.
