A few weeks ago, a popular morning television show, Good Day Sacramento, did a feature presentation on Florez Bar and Grill, showing a friendly place, full bar, live Mariachi music, friendly staff, and most important of all, Good Mexican Food! I noted their web address, and after doing a bit of web surfing, I noted that the restaurant opens daily at 0700, and features both traditional breakfast, and desayuno... Friday, July 20, 2012, when it was my turn to choose a meeting location for the Sacramento Breakfast Club, my choice was easy: Florez Bar and Grill. Photo: Florez Bar and Grill is located in the middle of a 1960's vintage strip mall, and features plenty of shady, outside, patio dining. The building, and the patio faces east, so the patio is shaded in the afternoon, making late afternoon and evening dining very pleasant and comfortable. Photo: Immediately as you walk in the front door, the full bar catches your attention, and yes, they specialize in killer Margaritas. This is one of two dining rooms, and the other dining room is partly visible at the extreme right of the photo. The Sacramento Breakfast Club occupied a small, semi-private mini-room visible in the rear of the photo. Florez Bar and Grill offers weekly specials, such as Tequila Tuesdays, Wine Tasting Wednesdays, Mariachi Fridays, and also special events, such as the recent anniversary of the restaurant, and the upcoming Mexican Independence Day Celebration in September. Photo: Our gracious hostess, Lilly, takes Sharlene's order of bacon, scrambled eggs, refried beans, rice, and corn tortillas. With breakfast, an endless bowl of freshly-made tortilla chips is included, along with delicious, in-house made red and green salsa. If you're a coffee lover, you've come to the right place, as Florez Bar and Grill serves delicious coffee, and they make certain that your coffee cup is never empty. Photo: Javier refills Bev's coffee cup, as Lilly takes Dan's order. The wait staff at Florez Bar and Grill is very friendly, efficient and attentive, but not at all intrusive. The folks are great, and really seem to love what they do, and treat customers like members of an extended family. Photo: Lilly strikes a charming pose, as she places Dan's breakfast burrito on the table. Like Sharlene, Bev ordered scrambled eggs, bacon, refried beans, rice and corn tortillas. Photo: Javier poses with my breakfast, featuring chile verde. Javier is a fairly new employee, but like his mentor, Lilly, he really did an excellent job making us feel like invited guests. Photo: Oh yes! If you want a delicious breakfast, you must visit Florez Bar and Grill. Their extensive breakfast menu is two sided: One side is labeled "desayuno," and it offers the largest selection of Mexican favorites that we've seen in the greater Sacramento area. If you're not a fan of Mexican breakfasts, flip the menu over, and it offers a full page of classic, American breakfast choices. I'm a fan of Mexican breakfasts - Mexican food is my favorite cuisine - so I ordered chile verde, eggs over easy, rice, refried beans, and corn tortillas. This breakfast is one of the best Mexican style breakfasts that I've enjoyed north of the border, and it was better than many breakfasts that I've enjoyed during my travels to Mexico. This breakfast puts many Tijuana loncherias to shame! Photo: Today's members of the Sacramento Breakfast Club, from left to right: Dan MacLeod, Bev MacLeod, Sharlene Rench and Eric Rench. We had a light club turnout today, but the food was delicious, the restaurant was wonderful, and the company was great! Florez Bar and Grill has been in the same location for 31 years, and have been serving the Land Park community with Mexican cuisine, and traditional American breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant is owned and operated by the Florez family, and is a local, unique, one-of-a-kind operation. We love the family atmosphere, the friendly staff, and most of all, THE GREAT FOOD! Florez Bar and Grill is a Land Park treasure... Florez
