107 Cafe, Edinburg TX

One of my favorite things about bike riding is the Taqueria Route.  That's an early start for a bike ride on Saturday.  After you ride an hour or so, you stop for breakfast at whatever taqueria you happen to be close to.

Today's Taqueria Route featured the 107 Cafe in Edinburg, located right on Highway 107 where McAllen turns into Edinburg.  It's a large place, so easy to get a table even on Saturday morning.  We start with a tostada, a baked torilla, with some hot salsa.  Service is rapid.  Gil ordered a Valley favorite, the $1.99  breakfast with eggs, potatoes, beans and toast.  I had the barcacoa.  Tortilla of maiz/corn were freshly made in the back.    

Barbacoa, traditionally made from beef cheeks, can be a little greasy but this was not.  It's a traditional hangover food for the weekend.  Served with onions, cilantro and potatoes, it was a strong breakfast.  No need for much lunch thereafter.
