Adventures on Borrowed Time
I stopped in during a four‑hour layover and this spot was a great find. The café and the cantina next door are literally connected and share a patio, but the café has a quieter vibe with classic coffee‑shop offerings and a small school‑store section featuring Latino handmade merchandise. I ordered the lunch special with a chile relleno and fish tacos. The food sits right between authentic Mexican and Tex‑Mex in both flavor and presentation. - Fish taco: Fresh and flavorful — especially after tweaking the garnishes. 9.2/10 - Chile relleno: The batter was a bit firm and the four‑cheese blend was a little heavy, but still tasty. 7/10 - Chips & salsa: Excellent. Ask for the habanero crisps on the side — that takes it to an 11/10 - Red velvet cheesecake: Rich, decadent, and worth trying. 8.5/10 Huge shoutout to Charlie, who was running the café solo and still delivered friendly, attentive service. Great spot for a layover break.
