Try El Carajillo's Mexican food any time of day

Here's a restaurant recommendation for folks who could eat Mexican food for every meal of the day. (Guilty.)

The vibe: El Carajillo Mexican Cafe & Bar debuted inside a cozy Italian Village corner building in May.

• There are few tables inside, but it boasts a spacious patio.
• Breakfast is served starting at 9am, an uncommon feature for a local Mexican eatery. But it's fitting for a place named "carajillo," a coffee drink with liquor.

What I ate: A mid-morning breakfast burrito ($10) at the recommendation of our server, who said she eats one nearly every work day.

• I can see why. It's a dense and filling pick-me-up full of mozzarella, souffled egg, chorizo, potatoes and arugula.
• It paired perfectly with a fresh side salad with cilantro ranch.

Pro tip: Try the iced coffeechata ($5), a unique blend of coffee and horchata, a traditional Mexican sweet rice drink flavored with cinnamon and other spices.

Stop by: 9am-9pm Sunday; 9am-2pm and 4-10pm Monday-Friday; 9am-10pm Saturday. 851 N. Fourth St. Menu .

The cozy interior bar of El Carajillo, where patrons can be comfortable sipping a coffee or a cocktail. Or both.
