Fina's Coffee Shop, 435 Old Port Isabel Road

Is this a poem? -- I'd say so! Near my home, convenient, clean and comfy. Very low prices. Varied delicious specials. Slogans artistically painted in strategically located spots -- poetic samples of our regional colorful cuisine and culture: "I like my cafecito with a little chisme" (I like my coffee with a little gossip); "Y la dieta?" (And the diet?) and near the register, another: "Hay que empezar el dia con HUEVOS, frijoles, chilaquiles, y cafe" (You have to start the day with EGGS, beans, chilaquiles, and coffee). At the exit, beside the door: "Si acabas de llegar bienvenidos, y si ya se vas vuelve pronto" (If you have just arrived welcome, and if you are already going come back soon!) An important part of home. At this location since 1984. Friendly and familiar. Puro poesia. Pure poetry.
