A 30th Avenue taco shop that runs a proper breakfast service every morning and a weekend brunch, with wifi and charging stations for anyone who wants to stay with a laptop.

The breakfast taco to order is El Buen Dia, spicy longaniza and eggs, on a flour tortilla with chipotle-peanut salsa. Add migas — eggs, stewed peppers and crumbled tortilla chips — on corn, and the costillas, tender rib meat in salsa verde, if you want something meatier.

Editor’s tip

Go before noon and get El Buen Dia on flour, with migas on corn.
