Biscuits Cafe

Biscuits Cafe!  Yay!  This Mexican restaurant with a breakfast focus has become a favorite of ours since we moved near Broad Ripple.  We've been a number of times in the past couple months--with kids, without, with guests, without...doesn't matter.  We'll go.  I shall recount two of said visits in this review.  Apologies for the lack of prices, but the menu isn't online--suffice it to say, it's all very reasonably priced.

Biscuits can be crazy crowded--there are a lot of tables jammed in there, and those tables stay pretty full--but somehow, we've never really waited for a seat (knock on wood).  One always seems to open up just as we arrive.  Definitely a plus in our book.
 
Our very first visit, we took a friend.  We all got some coffee, and it was super good.  Flavorful, but not too strong.  Good start!  I was wanting something sweet, so I opted for a Belgian waffle with strawberries.  SO. GOOD.  Fresh strawberries on there!!!  Yes, they are covered in a strawberry syrup, but they are totally fresh.  It gave the whole thing a slight tartness that counterbalanced the sweet waffle and syrup.  I am hooked, and have ordered it again, since.  Love. 

 Tim got the spicy biscuits and gravy--yes, spicy.  They're slightly pink from the spice.  Pictured is a full order--it's at least 3 full biscuits, which was almost too much for even Tim (he can put away some biscuit and gravy).  He liked it.  I would personally want a bit more sausage in there, but it was tasty.

On one of our next visits, Tim got a skillet--there are potatoes under there, along with peppers, eggs, and sausage gravy, and it's topped with tons of melty cheese...he enjoyed, but said he'd actually opt for what I ordered next time.

What'd I get?  Oh...just the breakfast burrito.  The ENORMOUS breakfast burrito!!!  This thing was huge!  You have a choice of sauces on this and various other items--Lovely Sauce (the most mild, a red sauce), Red Sauce (medium heat), and Green sauce (with tomatillos, it's a bit tangier and the most spicy).  I love a good salsa verde, so I opted for the latter.

Inside the burrito was chorizo, beans, potatoes, and cheese. Pretty dang tasty.  It was served with rice and beans (for breakfast!).  Delish, but needless to say we skipped lunch on this day.  So. Full.

On subsequent visits, we've tried a few other things, including actual lunch instead of breakfast.  Tim tried their chilaquiles with steak and Green Sauce and gave it the thumbs up (next time he's thinking of trying them with pork); I got a Torta de Jamon (a ham sandwich) that included cheese, beans, jalapenos, onions, and lettuce on a pillowy bun.  It was supposed to include avocado, too, but sadly it was left off.  Normally we get great service here, but on this occasion our waitress was nowhere to be found and I was hungry, so I just ate it without.  I imagine that it'd be even better with, though.  Mmmm.  Avocado.
