For something with a bit more flavor, the Cali Taco Skillet combines fresh vegetables, eggs, and salsa verde, while the Santa Fe Skillet adds a spicy kick with chorizo and seasoned potatoes. The Grand Slamwich® and Moons Over My Hammy® sandwiches are popular picks, layering eggs, meat, and cheese on toasted artisan bread, served with hash browns.
Omelette lovers can choose from options like the Ultimate Omelette®, Philly Cheesesteak Omelette, or build a custom version with their favorite ingredients. All omelettes come with hash browns and a choice of bread.
What’s in the Skillet?
The Cali Taco Skillet starts with a base of seasoned red-skinned potatoes—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. These are topped with crumbled chorizo sausage, which brings a rich, smoky flavor and a touch of spice. Then comes a generous helping of shredded cheddar cheese, fresh pico de gallo, and creamy avocado slices. A sunny side up egg (or your choice of style) crowns the dish, its runny yolk melting into the layers below for extra richness.
A Balanced Bite of California Flavor
What makes this skillet stand out is its blend of textures and flavors. The spicy chorizo pairs beautifully with the cool, buttery avocado. The pico de gallo adds freshness and brightness, cutting through the richness of the egg and cheese. Every bite feels balanced—warm, filling, and full of flavor without being overly heavy.
All-Day Appeal
True to Denny’s Menu reputation, the Cali Taco Skillet is available any time of day—breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It’s the kind of dish that fits just as well into a weekend brunch as it does into a late-night craving run. Customization options let guests tweak it to their liking, from adding jalapeños to swapping proteins or egg styles.
A Taste of the West Coast
The Cali Taco Skillet reflects a growing trend in American diners—bringing in regional flavors that elevate traditional fare. With ingredients like avocado and chorizo, it channels the spirit of California cuisine while staying true to Denny’s roots: satisfying, approachable, and ready whenever hunger strikes.
