Just up the street from my place on Old Bailey Street. You'll see the sign if you just look! Great for Western brunch, and their OJ is deliciously fresh-squeezed.

If you're craving Mexican, I Caramba! has the best, though it's a bit on the pricey side. Other Mexican places include Taco Loco (cheaper) and Agave (more authentically Mexican).
