When the Migas arrived on the table I was instantly impressed and pleased by the sight before me, for (as you can see in the above picture) Guero?s seems to understand that if Migas are ordered than Migas should be the main occupant of the plate. While it is true that some vacant spaces remained on the plate they were small and the Migas occupied more territory than the beans did, so I was pleased right away. Furthermore the tortillas were not used to hide vacant space on the plate, as they were in a separate tortilla dish. Enough care had been taken in arranging the plate that the beans had not been able to seep under the Migas and make the eggs taste like refried beans, there was even a little garnish to add flair (a bit much and a bit silly). In addition the Migas had many veggies that were clearly visible and the layer of cheese atop the Migas could only be described as thoroughly melted. Guero?s outfits its tables with a variety of excellent salsas and I spread the salsa verde over the Migas before biting in (I recommend the salsa verde for the Migas). The Migas were good and I was instantly pleased to note that in my bite I could clearly taste: eggs, cheese, salsa, and veggies. It was good, but as Liz put it ?it kind of tastes like an omelet,? a good omelet, but still an omelet. Why? Because the tortilla chips, which were visibly present simply did not stand out, they were there, they were definitely there, I could see them but I couldn?t really taste them, and the jagged tortilla bits that generally stick out of the Migas were nowhere to be seen (the Migas were actually rather flat). The dish I ordered at Guero?s was good, it really was, filling, and quite delicious. However, I pause to really call what I received Migas. What I received was great, it really was, but Liz?s initial reaction was right on the mark: it was really more of an omelet.
