Lily’s Cafe in Allen

This place is a cute hole in the wall and I'm so excited to have found it randomly while driving through the picturesque downtown Allen. If you are visiting the heritage museum, any of the nearby Allen parks or skateparks, you should stop by this great tex-mex place! They have so many breakfast items like eggs rancheros, migas, omlettes, pancakes. They also have lunch food like tortas, tacos, fajitas, and so many more! They also have menudo and pozole on the weekends! They are never packed so you can stop by anytime and find a table and they are pretty cheap for how yummy the food is! Everything  costs between $6-11. So whether you are wanting a tradition tex-mex breakfast, American brunch, or Mexican lunch, you should definitely stop by Lily's Cafe!

The food is definitely not the quality you would expect from the name. There was nothing on the menu from Guatemala. Perhaps the place has changed hands and it is just a taco shop serving very plain Tex-Mex and one breakfast items. Do not get the MIGAS as it was totally inedible with 90% fried large triangles of tortilla and possibly a half of a very small egg sparsely mixed with it. The potatoes are parboiled and then heated and served from a grill. The re-fried beans were so soupy they could not be eaten with the plastic fork at all. The homemade tortillas were completely over cooked and very hard almost s chip! You can definitely get better food at any taco shop; even Taco Cabana serves up better food!

Nice find hidden in Allen.  Great homemade corn tortillas.  Horchata, breakfast potatoes, beans & tacos were very good.  Salsa verde could use some more heat- it made the chilaquiles disappointing .  I'll be back to try other items
