The Big Star reopened in April with a new operator. I had ignored it until a friend told me he had the best breakfast ever...pork tamales with green chile sauce and two eggs on top. I had to try it. When I saw chilaquiles on the menu, I had to try them. Superb! Made fresh from scratch, they were the best I have ever eaten and I have spent a lot of time in Mexico searching.
So how is it that a diner on Bainbridge has some of the best Mexican food I have ever eaten? The owner (very much an anglo) grew up in Mexico City and operated restaurants in San Miguel de Allende.
In addition to 15-20 unique Mexican dishes, the large menu has all the traditional diner favorites. The owner can really cook, so I am sure they are just as tasty.
Big Star is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The two items I mentioned are on the breakfast menu, but you can get them all day.
Highly recommended!
