MARIAS CAFE – Mexican
A downtown breakfast-and-lunch room on Osceola Street where the griddle does the heavy lifting. Cinnamon roll French toast is the order people talk each other into; blueberry pancakes, huevos rancheros and a mozzarella omelette under ranchero sauce cover the rest of the morning, with country fried steak and a patty melt for anyone arriving hungrier. The coffee gets consistent praise, which is not nothing at this hour. Staff are attentive without hovering, dogs are welcome, and the doors close at two. Get there before the late-morning rush finds it.
