  2. I need to try this. I just returned home from Monterrey where I ate lots of awesome food during my visit. One of the most memorable places was a very cool taqueria named El Frijole. I went there for breakfast and they had the most incredible coffee ever. I hope this coffee recipe will be close to what I had.
    When in Monterrey be sure to eat at El Frijoles, you will not be sorry.
