If you have a sweet tooth consider the Tres Leches Overnight Oats with pepitas and poached pears or the Olive Oil Pancakes with Membrillo Butter and Pedro Ximenez syrup. It’s not brunch if it’s not boozy, so wash it all down with one of the award-winning wines from Spain, House Bloody Mary or a craft cocktail like the springlike Dos Penínsulas or the Guns & Rosés rosé based cocktail.
