Look inside new Dallas breakfast taco shop Sugar Skull Cafe

If you're into breakfast tacos -- and aren't we all? -- Sugar Skull Cafe just opened in Trinity Groves, the buzzy West Dallas restaurant complex.

Sugar Skull is open for lunch and dinner, too, if you don't make it in the breakfast hours.

Sugar Skull Cafe is a more casual restaurant inspired by street food in Mexico City. Ricardo Ledezma, former Casa Rubia sous chef, will run the kitchen at Sugar Skull.

It serves breakfast items such as El Cabrito: an egg, goat cheese, avocado, spinach and sweet peppers taco; or the Chorizo: egg, tomato, green onion and honey. Lunch and dinner items include El Pascador: a crispy snapper taco with cabbage slaw and crema roja; and the Chicharron: a crispy pork, calabazita, cilantro and crispy hominy taco. (See the full menu below.) Coffee comes via a fancy La Marzocco espresso machine.
