Today my friends and I went to the Bill's Cafe in Willow Glen. While Bill's Cafe has standard breakfast dishes such as pancakes, omelettes, and french toast, there is also a variety of Benedictions (eggs Benedict) to choose from.
After looking through the choices, I decided to order the Mexicali Benedict.
Menu Description:
Mexicali Benedict
Toasted English Muffin, pulled Pork Carnitas, Tomatoes, Avocados, Poached Eggs, topped with freshly made Salsa
Overall, I thought the Mexicali Benedict was awesome. In particular, the carnitas tasted amazing. They were extremely moist and extremely flavorful. They might have been the best carnitas I've ever eaten, at least without being outright fatty. I suspect they were moist from having soaked up all the salsa.
In any case, together with the avocado and egg, the dish was superb.
In contrast, my friend Josh's Crab Cakes Benedict was underwhelming. I tasted the crab cake, but simply wasn't amazed.
Of course, if I remember correctly, I was given half a Crab Cakes Benedict (a fourth of two eggs per dish) as leftovers towards the end of the meal and ate it with much delight.
Menu Description:
Crab Cakes Benedict
Two Crab Cakes, two poached Eggs and a rich Hollandaise Sauce on an English Muffin
On a different note, my friend Thomas's Banana French Toast with its sliced bananas deliciously reminded me of banana bread. 1:49PM PT Were it not for the Benedictions, I would have surely chosen one of the French toast offerings.
Menu Description:
Banana French Toast
Thick French Toast topped with sliced Bananas, Whipped Cream, and Cinnamon.
To drink, I initially wanted to have an Irish Coffee (Jameson Irish Whiskey, Coffee, Whipped Cream), but after hearing Josh get a Mexican Coffee, I changed my mind and got a Mexican Coffee as well.
However, more popular than the Mexican Coffee was Bill's Famous Mimosa.
