Maiz Taqueria – Ballard

If you’re trying to shake up your usual brunch routine, head to Sazon Kitchen, the Ballard brick-and-mortar café from Aldo and Angelica Gongóra, the chefs behind the popular Sazón Tacos food truck. Enjoy the build-your-own chilaquiles (corn tortillas fried with salsa and eggs), grain casseroles, loaded toasts, and machaca (beef stew with eggs) and sip agua frescas, and local coffee.

Bringing not-so-adventurous kiddos along? No worries, the Gongóras are still serving up classics like fruit-topped silver dollar pancakes and eggy sandwiches.
