El Huarachito

Sometimes less is more, but not when it comes to the chilaquiles at El Huarachito. This old-school spot in Lincoln Heights serves what might be the best Mexican breakfast in LA, otherwise known as El Campesino (a.k.a spicy chilaquiles loaded with carne asada, a fried egg, and whatever else you could possibly want). Everything here from the frijoles to the café olla exudes comfort. If lunch is more your scene, prioritize their cheese-oozing chile relleno, taquitos de papa, and whatever the guisado of the day happens to be.
