Weird mistranslation

I was looking across a website for a Mexican city, and one page (see the link) was about a restaurant called "Rice & Beans." The page invites you to try the breakfasts and then goes on to tell you that their favorite is the "divorced eggs". I don't speak Spanish and have no clue what divorced eggs are. I assume that it's a direct translation of some Spanish figure of speech used for the food, but I don't know what it's supposed to mean. I don't even like eggs, but this is plaguing me. Any help would be appreciated. Except from Wes. I don't trust him.
