Best Brunch in South OC

Brunch may just be an excuse to have fun with those we care about, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want the food to be delicious. Luckily, the best brunch in South OC is easier to find than you may think. We offer award-winning brunch options, and you can enjoy them any day of the week.

Best Brunch in South OC

The best brunch in South OC can be found at Chelas Mexican Kitchen, where brunch is so good that it is available every day. We all know that brunch is a meal that combines breakfast and lunch. However, that merging isn’t just in what time we eat, but what we eat.

For example, a breakfast burrito makes a great brunch dish. It has breakfast ingredients inside as well as things you would eat for lunch. In fact, Mexican food is perfectly suited for brunch, which is why you will find chorizo and huevos on almost every brunch menu.

Instead of getting the best brunch items at some random restaurant, why not go for the best? We even have award-winning brunch options!

Award-Winning Brunch Restaurants

Our breakfast menu is available all day, every day. This is simple for us because everything is made to order, and nothing is made from frozen. One of the most popular things ordered at the best brunch in South OC is the MVP Burrito.

This burrito comes with scrambled eggs, bacon, steak, crispy hash browns, guacamole, and Colby Jack cheese. It is basically steak and eggs in a delicious burrito. Of course, you will also find our chorizo burrito, surfer burrito, which is a protein-packed burrito, and our chilaquiles! Brunch isn’t just about breakfast, though; it is also about lunch options.

Award-Winning Lunch Restaurants

You could order any of our breakfast options, which fit perfectly into brunch menu ideas. Another option would be to dive right into lunch with more award-winning options. Our Rib Eye Tacos come with chipotle BBQ rib-eye steak, Mexican lime slaw, chipotle crème, pickled red onions & queso fresco.

These tacos are worth a visit all on their own, even if it isn’t brunch time. These tacos even won the award for best tacos in Orange County. We believe that it is thanks to the freshness in every bite, the authentic homemade recipes, and the locally sourced ingredients.

One of the last things, but still an important aspect of brunch, is a comfortable spot to enjoy it. We try to make our dining room feel as welcoming as possible. There is no dress code, but you’re free to dress for brunch, plenty of seating for the whole crew, and drinks to keep the party going.

Join us for Brunch this Sunday, Saturday, or Tuesday, whenever you want. The thing about fresh food is that it can be made at any time of day.
