Brunch at Ojo de Agua– ★★★★☆ (4/5)
I had the pleasure of brunching at Ojo de Agua this weekend, and overall, it was a delightful experience. The ambiance struck a perfect balance between casual and cozy, with soft lighting and a welcoming vibe. The staff was attentive but not overwhelming, and our table was ready right on time.
Food: The menu offered a great mix of classic brunch items with some unique twists. I went for the Avocado Trufa Toast– a delicious blend of gluten-free bread, avocado spread, trufle oil, sesame seeds, cherry tomatoes and ribeye. The Acai bowl was a standout, with fresh fruits and peanutbutter . My dining companion tried the Guava pancakes and Chilaquiles.
The only slight downside was that the Chilaquiles tortillas are not done in house, instead store bought chips are used for this dish which makes the dish be dry.
Drinks: Refills for regular coffee are not free, I can understand the specialty coffee drinks would require additional charge but not for a regular cup of coffee.
Overall Experience: Brunch at Ojo de Agua was a hit, with flavorful dishes, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. It’s definitely a spot I’d recommend for a weekend outing, though maybe avoid it if you're in a rush, as it can get busy during peak hours.
Would I return? Yes.
We had a great experience. The place had a homey atmosphere. Our server Nakai was friendly and helpful. We were very excited about the gluten free English muffins. One of the managers came to check on us, and I mentioned how good the muffins were. He graciously gave me the name of their provider. The are the best gluten-free English muffins we ever had. They also have a gluten-free Waffle. I ordered the Wanderer skillet 🍳, and it was delicious! The potatoes were cooked to perfection, the crispy bacon, and eggs!!! I am hungry again!
This place was amazing. The service was awesome. My favorite part was how the kids meal I ordered was gluten and dairy free because my son is highly allergic. Definitely, highly recommend this place and will also be coming back!
