Zaguan on a Sunday

Brunch at Zaguan Latin Bakery and Cafe provides a good change of pace for a Sunday morning. Located on Oak Lawn Avenue in a strip plaza, Zaguan also provides outdoor seating which some were taking advantage of despite the high temperatures. The picture menu was helpful for first timers like us not knowing what to order. We also asked the waitress and both ended up with what she says is one of the most popular items, the Cachapa with beef and cheese. Served with plantain chips or a fruit cup, I could see why this would be popular- it's delicious! We also had to try a bakery item and chose the cherry pasteles. You may also note the free samples of bread provided on the counter.

Macho Nacho for Lunch

We first walked into Macho Nacho at Cedar Springs and Throckmorton during the Cedar Springs Merchant's wine walk a few weeks ago. They offered us some free nachos with our free wine. That in itself should be reason enough to come back. But the place just looks cool. 

At lunch today we found a refreshing twist on some old favorites. No black or refried beans here. The choice is refried white or pinto beans. Neither of us tried a nacho dish, but Greek God tacos with lamb were particularly tasty. Most dinners are prices around $10.
