The migas at La Guadalupana are just like mom used to make—assuming your mom was Mexican, of course. Polish a plate off with owner Trancito Diaz’s luxurious café de olla: cinnamon-flavored coffee you can also purchase by the pound.
A fried egg atop a plate of cheese enchiladas at Los Dos Amigos is the quintessential hangover-recovery meal, making the restaurant’s location—on the bar-lined avenue—ideal.
