When we arrived, the line was out the door. We were told the wait would be about an hour. We wound up waiting a little less than 45 minutes, and while we waited, we treated ourselves to cups of their outstanding hot chocolate. They roast and grind cocoa beans in-house, for truly amazing hot chocolate. Cori had the "classic" which is chocolate and 2% milk. I had the "aztec", a spicy hot chocolate with chile and allspice. Both were great.
We intentionally skipped breakfast and showed up hungry, so when it was our turn to order, we were ready to eat. We ordered the chips and guacamole (to satisfy Cori's near-constant guac craving). Cori ordered the choriqueso torta (chorizo sausage, cheese, roasted poblano chiles, with a tomatillo salsa). I got the special of the day, a goat barbacoa torta (slow-cooked goat with black bean sauce, avocado, onions, cilantro and a tomato-pasilla chile salsa). To drink, Cori got the limonade, and I ordered the hibiscus/lemongrass agua. Our meal was wonderful!

For dessert, we ordered the churros. They also offered soft-serve ice cream with two different choices of toppings. Since we couldn't decide which sounded better, we got both! One was a pasilla-chile spiced brownie with chocolate sauce. The other was topped with salted caramel sauce and a streusel of maple, pecan and bacon. Cori was a little skeptical of the bacon on ice cream, but we both agreed that while both toppings were good, the streusel was outstanding.
Totally stuffed and elated at such a wonderful meal, we headed back over the green-dyed river and out toward home, where we saw Alice in Wonderland, our first 3D movie.
What a fun day. Now if only we could ignore that "spring forward" business tonight...
