      Vancouverites never say no to brunch on weekends, especially when the dishes are paired with a few alcoholic beverages. If you’re a big fan of the breakfast-meets-lunch meal, here’s another place for you to check out in the city.

      Yaletown’s Fayuca (1009 Hamilton Street) will be launching its Mexican brunch menu this weekend. The menu is known as huevos dias, which is inspired by the flavours from Northern Mexico.

      Some standout plates include huevos rancheros (eggs with corn tortillas, red salsa, cannellini beans, and avocado), chilaquiles (fried eggs on crispy tortillas, salsa verde, feta, avocado, and beans), and enfrijolada (fried egg with smoked fish machaca, soft tortillas, and black bean sauce).

      Guests can also find other tasty items on offer, such as the OG avocado toast, Mexican seafood chorizo scramble, carnitas with hashbrowns, steak and eggs, and hot cakes, among other creations.

      Pair your meal with handcrafted brunch cocktails like Cura (mezcal, Aperol, and grapefruit juice) and the Sol Dorado (tequila, honey, lemon, and marmalade). Margaritas, micheladas, fresh juices, and coffee will also be served.

      “It’s honest, interesting food that draws upon our childhood memories from Northern Mexico, the gatherings, the fun, and the flavours, and is expressed through Pacific Northwest ingredients,” said Ernesto Gomez, Fayuca’s co-owner, in a press statement. “We want to create environment that reflects the hospitality and atmosphere one would experience while having a leisurely breakfast in Mexico.”

      The kitchen team at Fayuca sources fresh and sustainable ingredients for its dishes; vegan and gluten-free options are also available. Its brunch is served on Saturday and Sunday (9 a.m. to 3 p.m.).
