Breakfast at Cafe Pasqual (Santa Fe, NM)

We had breakfast at one of the legendary restaurants in Santa Fe, Cafe Pasqual. The portion being large, we split the highly recommended Huevos Motuleños, easy-over eggs on a bed of black beans, topped with feta cheese and served with corn tortillas and sauteed bananas. This was a major disappointment (☆☆). First, the eggs were cooked hard. The black beans lacked flavor and were a bit hard; they could at least have cooked them in salted water. The corn tortillas were dry. And the sautéed bananas really didn’t add anything at all. We always order the salsas on the side so my wife can decide if they’re too spicy or not. What this means is that the dishes we order have to stand on their own. This egg dish didn’t. The overall impression was blandness. About the only thing going for it was that the ingredients were organic (almost all Cafe Pasqual’s ingredients are). The salsas were very good, including a tomatillo salsa (☆☆☆) that had flavors of cilantro and vinegar. I hope that future visits will not disappoint as much as this one did.
