"Mexican cafe and bakery La Guadalupana serves breakfast tacos, huevos rancheros, and fresh pan dulce from a well-worn strip center in the heart of Montrose. Known for hot cinnamon coffee and a signature drink called the vampiro—a rumored hangover cure combination of beet, orange, and carrot juice—La Guadalupana is busy with regulars, neighborhood locals, and at least one table of 20-somethings and has been for decades. Head here early in the morning for a plate of something comforting, and then take a few empanadas de piña to go." - gianni greene, chelsea thomas, julie takahashi
