While looking for a Seminole Heights brunch spot to kick off wedding-dress shopping with family, I came across new-ish modern Mexican restaurant Con Amor.

The intrigue: The menu had my mouth watering — chilaquiles and huevos rancheros are some of my favorite breakfast dishes.

Plus, the restaurant makes tortillas from scratch by soaking corn using an ancient process called nixtamalization, then grinding it into a dough called masa.

Dig in: The food delivered. The chilaquiles ($19) were smoky and topped with goat cheese, a flavorful twist.

My mom got the rancheros ($11) and loved them.
And be sure to get the chips and salsa ($10), which comes with tomatillo, pineapple and house varieties. The pineapple was my fave.

I only wish I'd gotten to try the masa Benedict and tres leches French toast. Guess I'll have to go back!
