What I Ordered

Blu Smoothie Jar – $80pesos ~ $4USD

Chia Pudding with Blu Smoothie Mixture – Nicecream with Blueberries, Apple, Banana, and Passionfruit, Topped with Granola and Fruit

These photo-worthy smoothie jars are a popular menu item at Painapol. These are a great healthy and refreshing treat to cool off with. At the base of each jar, is a house-made creamy chia pudding made with coconut milk. Half a liter of the blue smoothie is blended and added to the mason jar. The granola and sliced fruit is artfully placed on top. This is not just a good-looking treat, it is also a tasty treat.

Regular Eggs – $115pesos ~ $6USD

The not so classic egg plate came with a variety of vegetables, three kinds of cheese, bacon, and homemade toast. The best part of this dish was the roasted vegetables. The roasted vegetables included eggplant, carrots, zucchini, tomatoes, and potatoes. There was also a cold green bean and leafy salad served on the side. The thick-cut artisanal bread was the perfect utensil to soak up the rich egg yolk and roasted vegetable juices. Throughout the dish, were slices of Panela, Oaxaca, and parmigiana cheese. The cheese added the perfect saltiness. The one-piece of bacon was the smoky cherry on top of this ensemble of healthy foods.

Focaccia – Starts at $80pesos ~ $4USD

+ Tuna with Mango Chutney – $75pesos ~ $3.50USD

+ Caramelized Onions & Bacon – $45pesos ~ $2.50USD

The Focaccia breakfast dish is served sandwich style with two large pieces of Italian Focaccia Bread filled with cheese plus any additional toppings. A seasonal mixed green salad comes with it. The Tuna with mango chutney was a spicy but a good addition to this rich yeasted Italian bread. The caramelized onions and bacon added smokiness and sweetness, making for an all-encompassing tasty bite. The cold green bean and leaf salad was a cooling bite that refreshed the palate.
