Chilaquiles at Mexquisito, 712 Massachusetts St.

Chilaquiles is a Mexican breakfast staple, and this version is substantial enough for a full meal any time of day. A big, hot bowl of tortilla chips, shredded beef and spicy salsa — the chips on top stay crunchy while lower ones soften in the flavorful juices — is topped with cheese, onions, cilantro and sour cream. Mexquisito uses its signature thick, made-to-order corn chips (the same ones served at Tortas Jalisco, which has the same owner). Go all out and order these chilaquiles the authentic way, with a runny fried egg on top.
