"La Guadalupana—often shortened to “Guad”—is one of Montrose’s most beloved institutions. The Mexican breakfast and lunch cafe opened in 1995 and seems to be mythically passed down as the mid-morning meal cafe of choice for any 20-something in close proximity. That’s either due to the aromatic cinnamon coffee or the Guad’s fabled hangover cure, the vampiro, a carrot-orange-beet juice comb best consumed in one big glug. Add on a plate of over easy huevos rancheros or enchiladas verdes blanketed in lettuce, and you will be pleasantly satisfied for a few hours, or at least until Happy Hour starts at a bar nearby. Or grab some breakfast tacos and fresh pan dulce to-go for an early morning commute. " - chelsea thomas, gianni greene
