 A fine candies store 

 Filled with hand made pez dispensers.  Check out Obama.  That is damn near racist looking.

 Snaggle you fine beast 

 Women, buying things 

 Full circle, back to fajita guys, still cooking up a storm 

 A strange rock just north of Santa Fe.  It has a name that has been forgotten.

 Shrublands that remind me a little of west Myanmar

 Stopping for pizza is always a big decision.  

 Veggie pizza with sesame seeds, you have no idea, your idea about this is a fathomless abyssal void

Tecolate Cafe - Home of the Great Breakfast Burrito


Sorry for my brief hiatus from the blog.  Trips have been taken, turkeys devoured, and a little exam called the gmat has slowly began its advance on consuming my life.  But for today, I have some room to breathe, and I want to talk about burritos of the breakfast variety.

Tecolate Cafe is a basic and inviting restaurant off of Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe. The menu ranges from the familiar to local specialties such as Hueveos Yucatecos.  Immediately the manager greeted us and was very gregarious and kind, making the place feel like home.  Our waitress brought us samples of each of their different hot sauces, so that we may choose something in our preferred range of "hot."  All of this courtship was for a pair of breakfast burritos.  It was serious business.  The burritos here are the stuff of legend through.  Filled with fluffy eggs and doused in famous local chili sauces, they are a 10 out of 10.

The menu.  They do not serve toast, and it is announced on the front of the menu.  They do, however, serve a baker's basket filled with fresh baked muffins and bread with each meal.
