Following our annual trek to Lake Geneva to stay with friends for the weekend, this was our stop for brunch on the way out of town. It was impressive as we walked up from the outside and the interior was equally modern, well-lit and inviting – with plenty of brick and stained woodwork (see pictures).

Per the sign on the wall, this is one of two locations – the other being in Flagstaff, AZ. A menu note said that it changes frequently, so I didn’t include pictures (reference through the web site link below for the latest) – but there was an impressive variety of unique and intriguing plates!

My wife started with an unsweetened Matcha Latte (see picture) and all 4 of us sampled different dishes. Our friends ordered the Madrez Chorizo Gorditas (see picture) and Birria Tacos. My wife loves chorizo, so opted for the Chorizo Chilaquiles (see picture) and I was equally intrigued by the chilaquiles (corn chips), so went with the Brisket Chilaquiles (see picture).

As we always do, we shared tastes of each of our dishes and really enjoyed them all – so would highly recommend each of them. Both of the chilaquiles dishes were listed as spicy and they were each just the right level of ‘bite’ to make them delicious. The corn chips appeared freshly made and were soaking in the juices and crema – coming across as very similar to birria dishes we’ve had elsewhere.
