My brother and I had business on north shore yesterday so stopped by Cozy Corner (their Clark/Devon location) for chilaquiles breakfast. CC offers both rojo & verde as well as a choice of meats. Brother had verde w/chicken, I the rojo w/chorizo (very good quality chorizo btw) with eggs over easy not scrambled. Both versions were really enjoyable, not a speck left on our plates. Thanks for the recommendation gnarchief (& thanks as well to all the other LTH recs, looks like I've got lots of versions to try).gnarchief wrote:Cozy Corner has some delicious chilaquiles and they are open mondo early.
They have three locations.

Chalk another vote in the very disappointing column for the chilaquiles at Brothers. I went this morning, had the rojo version as I like the rich taste of chilies. As another huge fan of chilaquiles, I too ended up with a version that had no crunchy contrast and worst yet, the rojo version was nothing but heat, there wasn't even a hint of chilies complexity.

We live a couple of blocks from here and as a huge fan of chilaquiles I was thrilled to see Sula's write up on these a month or two ago. We went in over the weekend, and I'm sad to report, they were possibly the most disappointing Ive ever had. The salsa completely drown out the tortillas, and there wasn't a crunchy contrasting bite to be had amongst the green (though admittedly flavorful) mush.

I love grabbing a bottle of champagne and a carton of orange juice and having my own bottomless mimosa brunch at this friendly, often empty, comfortable cheap Mexican spot. The menu is full of typos, but I think the food is first rate. I don't know why more folks haven't discovered it.
