Panchito's Restaurant

This is a neighborhood breakfast/lunch hang-out that is just a couple of blocks from the house. Think "authentic" Mexican food and atmosphere. Very busy on Sunday mornings. Next door is a traditional Mexican bakery that's been in the neighborhood for decades. My favorite is the Migas breakfast.
