Heart and Soul Cafe has the beginnings of a really good place in North Phoenix. My Chilaquiles and Eggs was unconventional, unattractive AND delicious. The sweet and spicy pork chile was prepared just right. Not having hashbrowns on the menu seems like a mistake since they cook them up for some of the dishes, but the roasted potatoes - containing 3 types - was inventive and good. The link sausage was not attractive at all but quite good. The 'Bloody Bacon' bloody mary may have a scary name but was excellent. The other drinks on the menu looked to be inventive but again the naming is odd. The decor like the menu is a mish-mash of really cool items with no central theme or story. Get the overall message? Hear and Soul is good - but lacks a coherent thread for why we should come back. Why is there a car parked in the restaurant, cowboy pictures on the wall and a big animal head? What does that have to do with 'Heart and Soul'? Oh we'll be back, but to be really successful, creating a story will help spread the good word of this place. So it's worth trying while the owner sorts through all that.
