Dos Huevos Breakfast Shop debuts in Garland with New York deli vibes
Behold the Hobo sandwich from Dos Huevos
There’s a gotta-try it new breakfast sandwich in town from Dos Huevos Breakfast Shop, a family-owned restaurant with roots in New York, now open at 1237 NW Hwy. in Garland, in a former mens wear storefront in a Tom Thumb-anchored shopping center.
Dos Huevos was founded in Spring Valley, New York, by Cambodian immigrants Bunthan and Sinoun Chan, along with their 3 sons – Kean, Ken, and Thomas – who've been serving breakfast and lunch to locals since 1989.
Bringing the concept to Texas are sons Ken and Thomas, who moved here in 2015; Ken previously worked for the city of Garland.
“The restaurant in New York is still running strong and we’re bringing it down here to Texas,” Ken says.
They're known for their trademark “hobo” breakfast sandwich, featuring egg and chunky homefries on a Kaiser roll — a roll they bake in-house. Many customers add bacon, ham, sausage, or black beans. (The sandwich can also be ordered in a burrito, although it seems foolhardy to miss out on the house-baked Kaiser rolls.)
The Hobo is their mother's recipe. "We offer the taste of a true New York bacon, egg & cheese sandwich," Ken says.
Everything on the menu is made from scratch: breakfast sandwiches, omelets, French toast, and pancakes; and then lunch options such as a smashburger, chicken salad sandwich, and a chicken cutlet sandwich, a popular item in the Northeast. Prices are a bargain, with nothing over $9.
The menu has almost a deli theme, with deli classics like a tuna melt, egg salad sandwich, and a BLT.
“My parents originally opened it as a doughnut shop, and the enterprise got so big, they turned it into a breakfast shop," Ken says.
The no-nonsense interior features white walls, counter service, and a smattering of tables & black chairs.
"We have good restaurants in Garland, but I want to serve amazing breakfasts," Ken says. "Our slogan is 'love is the main ingredient.' We enjoy seeing people smile with our food; we put a lot of effort and love into our cooking.”
