A little too much foam for latte (was more like cappuccino) Breakfast burrito - had fluffy eggs, big potato chunks, cheese and little bit of green chili. (Wish there was a little more chili or option for hot sauce) Quiche - hands down one of my favorite quiches. It was sturdy and flakey. Unlike the ones that are normally soggy or cream filled. This one was great!

ALL of the food tasted like rancid bacon grease and filthy flat top grill! On which they use pancake batter to fry up their "biscuits" for the biscuits and gravy. The content of the burritos are abysmal except for egg. Biscuits and gravy were a sin. Refer back to the biscuit comment. The gravy has some potential but NOT when its made with the tinge of rancid, dirty grease. East Mountain folks, are you ok? She used to serve out of a motorhome, hence the Roach Coach!!
