Peak inside Ocean City's new café
Outside Ocean City's newest (and first) Mexican bakery, located inside the Monte Carlo Hotel on N. Baltimore Ave.
Seating by the window provides a perfect view of City Hall, and a little bit of Ocean City's pre-season construction.
The Barragán family, who moved to Ocean City from Irapuato, Guanajuato in Mexico in 2006, are bringing traditional Mexican baked goods and breakfasts to Ocean City. From left to right: Javier Barragán, Rosa Barragán, Alicia Jensen, owner Linda Barragán, Stephen Kolarik and manager Cynthia Barragán.
One item included on their evolving menu is a torta sandwich, made with ham, chorizo, chicken tinga or beef.
In the to-go box is a guava tart topped with a meringue cookie. Underneath it is a lime curd cookie, next to an Agua de Pepino (a fruity cucumber limeade), a horchata latte and an Agua de Jamaica (hibiscus tea).
