El buen paladar – Menu – Midland

El buen paladar has breathed new life into the spot formerly known as Greens, staking its claim next to Chick‑Fil‑A at Village Circle in Midland. From the moment you walk in, you’ll notice a bright, welcoming space filled with the aromas of freshly ground coffee and sizzling breakfast meats. Clean lines, pops of turquoise and coral on the walls, and a few well‑placed potted plants give the dining room a modern, almost beach‑side café vibe—perfect for a morning pick‑me‑up or a laid‑back lunch.

Though the name hints at refined tastes (“the good palate”), the menu leans into comfort without pretension. Breakfast burrito lovers can choose from classics stuffed with scrambled eggs, cheese and your choice of bacon, sausage or chorizo, all wrapped in a warm flour tortilla. Come lunchtime, the enchiladas take center stage—browned to perfection and smothered in your pick of red chile, green chile or creamy queso sauce. And if you’re craving something a bit more Cuban, don’t sleep on the ropa vieja or the Cubano sandwich, loaded with slow‑braised beef, pickles, Swiss cheese and yellow mustard on pressed Cuban bread.

Drinks are simple but satisfying: strong, dark coffee served all day, ice‑cold bottled Jarritos, or a bright horchata that pairs beautifully with the spicier dishes. Prices hover between $10–$20 per person, making El buen paladar a wallet‑friendly option whether you’re fueling up for an early start or grabbing a late‑morning bite before meetings.

Open six days a week from 6 AM to 3:30 PM (closed Tuesdays), El buen paladar is your new go‑to for hearty breakfast burritos, homestyle enchiladas and an ever‑appealing taste of Cuban comfort. Swing by Village Circle and see why this “good palate” spot is quickly becoming one of Midland’s favorite morning and midday stops.
