TCB Review:
There are a few choice spots around town to get south-of-the-border breakfast fare (and no, breakfast burritos don’t count). Maria’s has Columbian influence, Victor’s does Cuban, La Polbanita and Chiapas both have Mexican that does the trick.
And then there’s Capitol View Café, a neighborhood diner with a mixed menu of traditional American, Cajun and Mexican fare. The three-page breakfast has quite the range: several omelets, chorizo con huevos, a Cajun benedict, biscuits and gravy, Belgium waffles with fruit, and breakfast quesadillas – and that’s just a small sampling. No doubt they aren’t worried about being 100% authentic, but it’s a fun and eclectic that ventures into the atypical. And it works.
So does the service: it’s prompt and genuine, with honed skills of finding the coffee cup in need of a refill of their (above-average) coffee. In all, this charming spot with a spiced-up menu has breakfast flavor worth a visit.

5 of 5 Huevos | Capital View is THE place for breakfast. The Cajun Breakfast is my fave with crunchy hasbrowns, eggs to perfection and ladeled with spicy hollandaise. I don't often get out of the house for breakfast but when I do, it's gotta be Capital View! Great family owned business.

4 of 5 Huevos | A nice little place with a nice combination of traditional breakfast choices (pancakes, omlettes, etc) with a solid Mexican influence (red beans and pork, tortillas, etc). The food is good while the service is spotty but well-meaning. The place is broken up into several rooms (obviously expanding on the cheap) but the Capitol View is a great place to go when you want something interesting and still familar.
The coffee is as expected; served by nice people who are attentive as they can with so much real estate to deal with.

4 of 5 Huevos | I just can't give a place 5 huevos after one visit, but at a minimum this place is a 4 out of 5. Great menu, great food, friendly servers, good prices, good value, nice seats, unique entrees like the "Norm Coleman" and the "Mayor Randy Kelli". Certian a top teir twin cities breakfast spot.
