After a brief hiatus, Hugo’s legendary buffet brunch is back in action. The Sunday offering is a cult favorite for a reason, and that reason is actually many reasons. There’s the playful atmosphere backed by live Mexican tunes and sangria, for starters. Then there’s the food. An abundant mosaic of bright ceviches, deep and complex moles, puffy masa cakes stuffed with puerco and refritos, bubbling chile relleno, seafood tostadas, fall-apart lamb barbacoa, and classic platos de desayuno, from chilaquiles to huevos rancheros. And please do not take this advice lightly, SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT.
How to book: Reserve via SevenRooms or order directly.
