Baci’s Mexican Restaurant

FOOD

Barbacoa and menudo are the breakfast buffet’s main attractions at Baci’s. The barbacoa belongs with the generous flour tortillas, while menudo offers a substantial bowl alongside the plate. Having both makes this a particularly appealing breakfast for anyone who would otherwise have to choose between a meat-and-tortilla meal and soup. They’re the first foods to keep in mind when considering the morning spread.

The menudo includes hominy, a useful detail if those corn kernels are part of the bowl you look forward to. It gives the soup a different place in the meal from the eggs, potatoes and breakfast meats. Menudo is a substantial breakfast in its own right, so it deserves attention alongside the barbacoa rather than being treated as a little soup on the side.

Flour tortillas are another reason to pay attention. Their generous size is part of Baci’s appeal, and they suit the barbacoa as well as the chorizo and egg. The latter brings a familiar Mexican breakfast combination to the buffet, with beans and potatoes among the accompaniments. Together, these foods give the morning meal plenty of substance without relying entirely on bacon and sausage.

Those familiar breakfast meats have a place here as well. Bacon and sausage join a spread that also includes grits and biscuits with gravy, giving breakfast a Southern side. Biscuits and gravy can be a main attraction for someone at the table, just as menudo can be for someone else. The combination is especially handy for companions whose favorite breakfasts come from different traditions.

Buñuelos bring something sweet to the breakfast selection. They fit naturally after the savory foods, although there’s no need to make them the very last thing you try. The breakfast spread can vary; these are representative choices, and the lunch buffet has its own lineup. The morning combination of Mexican dishes and Southern staples is the strongest guide to what makes Baci’s breakfast worth considering.

Beyond the buffet, Baci’s serves individual breakfast tacos and plated meals. The ordered Hippo plate brings together potatoes, bacon, beans and chorizo, accompanied by large flour tortillas. Gorditas and enchiladas broaden the à la carte choices further. These are useful options for a companion ordering separately, and they help explain the kitchen’s broader Tex-Mex character. They aren’t promised buffet selections.

Huevos rancheros and chilaquiles divorciados offer other ordered breakfasts, while barbacoa is also available as a separate plate. These individual meals give the Mexican breakfast favorites a place beyond the buffet. If a particular dish is the reason for your visit, the à la carte menu is worth a look alongside the day’s buffet selection.
