Taco #1 with Chorizo at Whirlybird
An indie musician and an Ecuadoran chef are the unlikely masterminds behind this Austin-inspired Williamsburg café, which sells only coffee and two varieties of breakfast tacos. We preferred the #1: a mound of fluffy scrambled eggs laced with Oaxacan cheese and (for a buck more) piquant nibs of chorizo. They come wrapped in a crisp and tender griddled corn tortilla, then topped with a tangy, slow-simmered tomato-and-bell-pepper salsa. A topping of crumbled jalapeño-flavored potato chips provide texture and a gentle burn. 254 South 2nd St at Havemeyer St, Williamsburg, Brooklyn (no phone). Available weekdays 8am–4pm, weekends 9am–5pm; $3.50, with chorizo $4.50.
