El Jarro In Lafayette Now Open for Breakfast On Weekends

El Jarro is by far the best Mexican restaurant in Lamorinda. I always get the Mexican torta sandwiches. My favorite is the Toluca (below), which has roasted pork loin, chorizo, Oaxacan cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, and a grilled roll.

This morning, we drove by while running errands and noticed that it was open. Apparently, this is the second weekend that it has been open for breakfast. The menu is both traditional American (pancakes, waffles, eggs) and Mexican. I had the Oaxacan breakfast ($10). It had corn tortillas with black beans and queso fresco on top, a large-ish linguisa sausage, a small-ish portion of home fries, and two eggs. It was pretty damn tasty, and did not feel heavy or greasy.

With breakfast options limited in Lamorinda, and with El Kaliente in El Sobrante going downhill at a precipitous pace, El Jarro may have just become our favorite breakfast joint.
