I had a very well made chiliquiles and my wife had a perfect egg over medium for breakfast. We love the new Peanuts with the couches and happy hour! It’s no longer the greasy spoon it was for the 3 decades I taught at SJSU. But the prices haven’t risen and they’re still very reasonable despite the uptick in the cuisine.
