Mango cured tartlet

If you’re looking for weekend brunch plans, I have just the spot for you! Curio has the most satisfying brunch menu and I love the people watching here. You can sit outside and greet the day with yummy breakfast dishes with a great selection of cocktails. 

The new hit brunch item is undoubtedly the birria-quiles (a fun play on chilaquiles) and the breakfast Napoleon (a fun play on the Napoleon dessert with layers of puff pastry and cream!) Curio is always a vibe!

Did you know that a curio is “an unusual, rare, or intriguing object”? That perfectly describes this spot- once a mortuary site now a place that serves great food and vibes. The interior has a nice vintage quirky design while the outdoor area has a chill and welcoming ambiance. Sweet and savory options are available, some classic and others with some twists in recipe. Of course they also have a cool array of cocktails. Be sure to stop by for a great meal and awesome time!
