Description and reception
Most known for pancakes and waffles, the restaurant's menu also includes chilaquiles, eggs Florentine, and machaca burritos. There are 12 kinds of pancakes, including the "Oh Henry" (chocolate and peanut butter) and 8 waffle varieties. Fodor's says, "The large dining room bursts with local families on weekends and homesick travelers. It can get noisy, and service tends to slip when Memo is out of town. The draped back patio is pretty, but it's like a greenhouse when the day heats up."[1] In The Rough Guide to Mexico, John Fisher described the restaurant as a "marquee-like affair serving good pancakes, waffles, blintzes and all-you-can-drink coffee to a tourist crowd".[4]
