You might not be aware that there was an Arizona Breakfast Weekend this past Thursday 27th-Sunday the 30th 2017. It didn’t seem to get as much hype as Arizona Restaurant Week. This was the third annual breakfast weekend.  Over 20 participating restaurants came up with $7.00, $10.00, $15.00 menu items and some included alcoholic beverages or beverage specials.

I decided to try the Soul Cafe in North Scottsdale. They offered several breakfast choices for $10.00 a plate. The restaurant is cute and stylish with an energetic atmosphere. Colorful artwork graces the walls and the restaurant has an unusual look of lots of clean drapery….(very unusual as drapery in a restaurant tends to get very dirty) ((drapery also isn’t popular in Arizona …….it’s more an East Coast Thing))

I soon received my Salmon over Corn Cakes with Spicy Jalapeño Cheese Sauce and Asparagus.

The eggs were poached nice and I liked that the corn cakes are light and fluffy and seemed grease free. They used a lot of black pepper on the asparagus and I kept coughing from all the pepper. However they did poach the eggs nice. The sauce is smooth and creamy. Salmon is a little chalky. Not as flavorful as I expected but OK.

My husband tried the Tres Locos.

Three corn tortilla cups. One stuffed with seasoned beef, another with pork and yet another with spicy beans over scrambled eggs. The plate also contained a very generous amount of red, white, blue and sweet potatoes. I was told the favorite tortilla cup was the beans because they had the most flavor and were a little spicy.

Our server was speedy and efficient.
