Blackbird Cafe: The Reason I Don't Hate Soyrizo

     After a long night at work, there are to things that come to mind when I wake up Sunday Afternoon, "darn I have to pee!" and "What's is for breakfast?" Being Part of the former fat kid club, the latter is usually the first oddly enough... Normally pho is the first thing I crave, but if my girlfriend has any say (which women usually do, right guys?) we will go to Blackbird Cafe in the California Heights district of Long Beach; and I don't complain because it is delicious!

       I have never been a fan of soy, tofu, boca, veggie anything. It's not that I have a genuine reason to dislike those things, they just seem strange to me and we are all afraid of things that are strange. this place has a few items on the menu that actually have soyrizo and trying those items has changed my life (not really, but more changed my mind on soy)
  
      My two favorite items on the menu are the Dos Caballeros which is picture and the Spicy Mexican Omelet. Both dishes contain soyrizo and both are mind-blowingly good. The Dos Caballeros is a Mexican Influenced eggs Benedict, but instead of being on an english muffin, they put them on fresh Mexican sopes (like thick, soft corn tortillas). the Spicy Mexican comes with the soyrizo, fresh jalapenos, onions, tomatoes, cheese, sour cream and avocado.


       Blackbird Cafe, doesn't have the best location (as a matter of fact, when i mention the streets, people have no idea where i mean) but it has a great menu with good service! This is another one of those breakfast places i love so much, that serve breakfast the entire day and are only open for breakfast and brunch.
