Cucharita
Included In
Relentlessly adorable, Cucharita is a flower garden that magically shapeshifted into a Mexican City-style breakfast and lunch spot in Montrose. The restaurant is bright and colorful with pastel-colored bistro tables, shelves full of floral-printed merchandise, and a counter full of fruit-topped pan dulce. Cucharita, in both name and function, is the little sister extension of Cuchara, a Mexico City-style lunch and dinner bistro on the same block. Like any younger sibling, Cucharita copies some of Cuchara’s style, but only Cucharita serves all-day breakfast.

Because Cucharita is open from 7am to 3pm everyday, you can have a long, relaxing, and dare we say, positively leisurely meal at Cucharita. Try the chilaquiles, a staple Mexican breakfast of fried tortillas drizzled in thick crema and salsa. Or the savory huevos motuleños mixed with peas, ham, and salsa smothering fried plantains. Even the coffee drinks are served with a tiny shortbread cookie. And everything arrives on, you guessed it, delightful ceramic and enamel plates.

Join the fellow midweek people-who-lunch crowd—eating breakfast at noon on a Wednesday basically counts as a vacation—bring your parents and enjoy a few boozy coffees, or pick up a box of pan dulce to-go.
