Lubbock

(From June 2011)

A colorful tile mosaic and atrium give this Mexican cafe a sidewalk ambience, perfect for its downtown location. You’ll feel like you’ve walked into San Antonio’s Mercado. Breakfast is our favorite, especially on a leisurely Saturday. The fluffy migas are blended with corn tortilla strips, chiles, cheese, and diced tomatoes and onions, and the chorizo con huevos is a mouthwatering portion of steamy eggs and hearty sausage. Every breakfast entrée is served with refried beans and hot tortillas made at the bakery (which also churns out churros, conchas, and other treats).

Located on the Texas Tech drag, Sazon resembles a grass-hut cantina inside, with caricatures of Lubbock’s VIPs hanging on the walls. We loved the Mammoth Fajita Burrito: smoky steak or chicken, rice, beans, cheese, and sour cream wrapped tight in a flour tortilla. Don’t even try to pick up this beast—use a fork. To dress it, choose between seven homemade salsas; the Guaco Loco is cool and light, and the Caribbean Craze adds a unique island flair.
