    Texican
    Evelyn P.

    This place always has a long line and wait so don't come here if you're in a rush, but the rest is great! Service is always great! In my experience, the hosts are always pleasant and over estimate your wait time so I've always been seated more quickly than expected. There's still a wait, but I've been pleasantly surprised each time when they call our group. The servers are always great, too! They're attentive and quick. We always tell them we love coffee and ask them to keep it coming so they know to refill more frequently. Note for Original Pancake House folks: I would highly recommend providing a coffee carafe for efficiency. Also, keep the mugs! They feel so homey and are perfect for a fresh cup of coffee! I'm thinking of buying one for home. The restaurant is clean and feels cozy with super cute decor. Seating can feel a little too close to each other in certain areas, but overall a great ambiance. Now for the best part: the food! I LOVE getting the Texican for breakfast. It has hash browns layered with chorizo, green peppers, onions, and fresh jalapeños. It's topped with pepper jack cheese, two eggs your way (I get mine over medium), smothered in pork green chile, and a side of 3 buttermilk pancakes. I love the spicy kick throughout this meal (and I add Cholula for a little more). The over medium eggs are the perfect consistency for this dish adding some creaminess and some respite from the spice It's a lot of food so I've had leftovers and just cooked a couple more eggs the next day for a second serving at home.

    Denver omelette and buttermilk pancakes

    A solid breakfast spot. The host was very friendly and we got seated immediately (we got there around noon). Our waitress was quiet and not especially friendly, but she was attentive. We shared a Denver omelette with the buttermilk pancakes side. The omelette left something to be desired. We both ended up adding salt (which is unusual for both of us) and ketchup/hot sauce. The pancakes were excellent. The space is very cute and cozy. Some of the tables are quite close together, but we were lucky to sit in a booth.

    Banana Praline Crepe

    Worth the wait! It was a busy weekend brunch but well worth it! We tried the Banana Praline Crepe 10/10 !! It was so good! Will absolutely order this again! Also ordered the hash brown and eggs entree and it was great too! The sour dough toast was perfect! The Hawaiian pancakes were also flavorful and something different to try! Overall, excellent spot for brunch and the service was great as well! Will definitely be back!

    Is there outdoor seating so we can be with the dogs?

    They have a really nice patio with half a dozen tables. I recollect some 4 legged guests hanging out when we have sat there.

    Our second time here yesterday, first since moving to Colorado 3.5 years ago. We stopped in around…read more1:00 on a Sunday....definitely less crowded than our first visit here more than four years earlier. We were seated quickly, and service was prompt and friendly. While interested in the tuna sandwich, I was really hungry, so I got an omelette instead. As it turns out, judging by the size of my wife's chicken salad sandwich and fries, the tuna likely would've been plenty for me, and I'll try it on a future visit. My omelette (with cheese, spinach, mushrooms, and onions) was fine, but nothing unusual from an omelette you'd get elsewhere. Home fries and ciabatta toast were both really good too. Coffee was delicious. Speaking of the chicken salad sandwich, my wife enjoyed it on her first visit too and was equally impressed this time. Definitely a big sandwich. I'm sure she'll get it again.

    We travel to FoCo for a change of scenery every couple of months. This was a new spot for us…read more We had to wait over 20 minutes to get a seat, but knew that when we put our name on the list. Thankfully, it was a beautiful February day, and we enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine while we waited. The restaurant isn't very big, so it's a little bit noisy. But the wallpaper is really beautiful and it fits the theme very well. Some of the things highlighted in other reviews include homemade bread and homemade hot sauce. I'm not a hot sauce eater, so I can't weigh in on that. The fresh bread was pretty awesome. The fresh jam was Cherry vanilla, which neither of us liked very much. It tasted too much like pie filling, and the texture was off. My husband enjoyed his chicken fried steak immensely. My breakfast, which included a large pancake, an egg and a link of sausage was priced at $10 which was an amazing price. Both of us went home with leftovers. Our server was friendly and attentive. She may have had a bit too much energy if I'm being honest, but I'd rather that than someone who is lackluster and boring!
