Viri’s breakfast spot sits just off Pelicanos as it turns eastbound and is open from 7 am to noon. It’s one of the most authentic Mexican breakfast spots in Boca de Tomatlan.

The cook, Mrs. Sofia (60), and her granddaughter, Sol (19), run the place with warmth and tradition. There’s no printed menu - everything is made fresh daily. Expect homestyle dishes like eggs with ham or chorizo, mole over meats, and green-sauce stews, all served with handmade tortillas.
