Munch on Brunch and Punch at Mijares

A brunch with a kick, can only be found at Mijares.

Every Sunday, from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, Mijares Restaurant is inviting families for its Sunday Champagne Brunch.   “We have fresh homemade corn tortillas, and then outside in the patio, we have a taco guy with traditional Carne Asada, Chicken, and Carnitas. We also have the Mexican, very authentic, Chicharron and of course El Pastor,” says Maria Guzman, manager at Mijares Restaurant.

The buffet is held in the patio area and it hosts a wide array of salads, such as potato, macaroni and chicken with Mijares’ fantastic cilantro dressing. There are also all sorts of sides, such as beans, Spanish rice, and Potatoes O’Brien.

Take a basic cheese enchiladas and jazz it up with a topping of Carne Asada, Chicken Picado or shrimp in a wine sauce with a kick. Fill your own fresh corn or flour tortilla, with rice, beans, meat and cheese or enjoy one of Mijare’s finger-licking good ribs.

An omelet station provides any number of variations, with a multitude of fillings to choose from. Your only problem will be what to choose.

“There is fresh menudo available every Sunday and a second soup that changes from week-to-week. This week we have albondigas,” said Guzman

For the price of admission, a choice of beverage (limited to two glasses) is also included. Orange juice, iced tea or softdrinks for the kids, while adults get the added option of champagne or mimosas.

Of course, there is a large assortment of desserts as well which Alice Mijares Recendez oversees herself. “She’s in charge and she loves to order the pastries, they’re really fresh. She comes in at 6:00 a.m. and gets these always ready,” says Guzman.

Pastries include éclairs, flan, cakes, cookies and more. Mexican hot chocolate is also available.

The Sunday Champagne Brunch is a great way to spend time with family sitting outdoors in the fresh air or indoors where you can enjoy the delightful music provided by Our Trio Tesorito.

Prices are set at $23.95 for adults, and $10.95 for kids 12 years and under.
