Perched on the foot of the hill rising up from La Jolla cove, Brockton Villa Restaurant makes is claim to fame in its Coast Toast, a souffle-esqe set of french toast. Erin had been to the restaurant once before and had raved about the french toast, so she made sure to take me there when we were down in the area. Apparently the restaurant can get filled up pretty quickly, and so we went as early as we could to get both a parking spot in the area and a table. Fortunately, the place was not really busy that day as parking was easy and there was no wait to get seated. I figured I would look to see if there were any other interesting menu items to get before settling for the french toast. I discovered an item I'd never heard of before, Pulled Pork and Chorizo Chilaquiles, and order than instead.
Smart move, I didn't like Erin's order of Coast Toast in the least. I'm hugely against very soft, fluffy textured things (they make me want to gag) and this toast was the epitome of my dislike. Erin too was somewhat disappointed in the meal, as the toasts did not seem as wonderful as in her memory.
My meal on the other hand, was potentially one of the better breakfast meals I'd ever had. The Chilaquiles turned out to be breakfast nachos--tortilla chips made with scrambled eggs and placed under loads of pulled pork and chorizo. I say the place should start marketing these as their speciality dish instead of the Coast Toast.
