You might not immediately think of a Mexican restaurant for breakfast, but El Centinela wants to change that. The casual Mexican eatery on Highway 3 may look rather nondescript from the outside, a beige building with a few windows installed in the storefront, but inside awaits a colorful, spicy smorgasbord of breakfast fare.
In fact, most customers who've left Yelp reviews are so impressed by the morning grub that they specifically mention the caliber of the breakfast fare. The affordably priced fare ranges from a breakfast burrito filled with eggs, meat, beans, and cheese to the more extravagant supreme omelet. Its ingredient list starts out normally enough, with bacon, ham, cheese, onions, and potatoes, but the addition of beans and chunks of tender cactus make it a true treat in the morning. Huevos rancheros and migs con huevo (eggs with tomatoes) round out the breakfast menu.
You can also come to El Centinela for lunch or dinner, however. The Mexican food is just authentic later in the day. Dig into a set of the popular barbacoa tacos if you decide to dine after noon.
