What people say, in short
Many people recommend Pit Room specifically for its breakfast tacos, and individual diners name the brisket taco, the potato, egg and cheese taco, and the pulled pork and hash brown taco. One diner is not impressed, calling the eggs wet and the tortillas and beans merely decent, and one wishes breakfast ran later on weekends.
