Cacao Mexicatessen: 99 Essential Restaurants 2013
If we were to make a checklist of our favorite things, a surprising number of them would be on Cacao Mexicatessen's inventory: duck carnitas tacos, huge bowls of hot Mexican chocolate, thickly cut french fries arriving in vats of mole sauce, a huge breakfast menu (huevos with venison! Blue corn pancakes!), excellent cochinita pibil, to-go staples like bags of crisp, house-made tortilla chips and chalky disks of that chocolate. We could go on. But it might be easier simply to head over to this family-run Mexican deli in Eagle Rock, maybe do some shopping at the Trader Joe's next door, find a chair on the pretty outside patio — and start eating. This is the kind of happy place where you can take your kids (see: fries in mole) for lunch, stop in for a weekend breakfast on your way to Ikea in Burbank, or just check out the specials as you watch the cars disappear into the night, immeasurably glad that you're digging into a fish taco in the manner of Ensenada and not in transit on the 134 nearby. 1576 Colorado Blvd., Eagle Rock; (323) 478-2791, cacaodeli.com. Tues.-Fri., 8:30 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sat., 8 a.m.-9 p.m.; Sun., 8 a.m.-8 p.m. Entrees $3.10-$19.95. Beer and wine.
