For Mexican Independence Day, we planned to have brunch here: http://www.papatzul.com/. However, they were only serving two items. We attempted a place around the corner, but there was a 25 minute wait. Then, we tried another place across the street, but they were all out of quiche (what two of us wanted to eat)! Finally, we decided to go to La Palapa, an old favorite. This was my first time at the West Village location. Surprisingly, I had never ordered the Huevos Rancheros. I've come to realize that Huevos Rancheros are probably one of the least photogenic cuisines. Even though this picture doesn't look great, the flavor was excellent - just the right amount of spiciness and all the right Huevos Rancheros ingredients (tortillas, egg, avocado, beans, sauce). I like the atmosphere more at the East Village location, but the food is equilavent at both places.
