On a recent Saturday morning, I had to run an errand in Hampden, which made it the perfect excuse to finally stop in and see if this popular brunch spot lived up to the hype.

The Rancheros Skillet

The menu at Chuck’s Trading Post features eight different skillet options, or you can choose to build your own.

Normally I’m drawn to the build-your-own option so I can customize everything, but the Rancheros Skillet immediately caught my attention.

This skillet includes:

• Hash

• Black beans

• Salsa

• Avocado

• Sour cream

• A quesadilla

• Lime

• Two sunny-side-up eggs

First of all, this dish is massive. It’s definitely the kind of brunch you might want to share—or be prepared to take home leftovers.

What I loved most about the dish was the quesadilla. It was perfect for dipping into the runny egg yolk, which added richness to every bite. The combination of ingredients brought together all the Southwestern and Mexican-inspired flavors that I love.

This is absolutely something I’ll be ordering again the next time I visit.
