If it's the International House of Pancakes, why can't I eat the walls?!…read more
This IHOP is such a great location! It's a beautiful building, located right off the freeway, just a few miles from the Mexican border. Truly international!
The food here is fantastic! I had some wonderful pancakes, which were fluffy and warm. They offer a wide array of syrups to get that international flavor. Each syrup flavor takes my taste buds to a different international destination. I always imagine I'm in Norway when using the blueberry syrup, or in Savannah, Georgia while sampling the butter pecan syrup. The original syrup makes me think I'm in the woods of Vermont, while he boysenberry syrup makes me feel like I'm out west in California like a movie star. The strawberry syrup seems more French than anything else. Sometimes, I like to go really exotic, and mix them all together, to honor the cultural mixing pot that America is.
The bacon is crispy, but not too crispy. It's got a nice crunch to it, and comes in long strips. The coffee was non-stop. They even left the carafe on the table for our convenience. Perhaps they'd heard of my coffee drinking prowess. The eggs were fluffy, and cooked perfectly.
The service was friendly and fast. They served with a smile, and made sure that everything was perfect with our dining experience. I really appreciated the personal touch and the "Good morning" we got while coming in.
The parking is ample, and picked up. There's a bit of pleasant landscaping in the parking area, and it's easy to get in and out of the dedicated parking lot.
I'm not sure if the International House of Pancakes is really in other countries, but this location is so close to the international border, it really makes this IHOP a significant one.
