The following is a report from when the Irvine location used to have a full service sangria brunch. They have now switched to the Champagne Brunch Buffet just like the Newport Beach location has had for a while.

The Irvine location of Taco Rosa (in the Tustin Marketplace where the Koo Koo Roo/Fuddrucker's used to be) is now offering a four course, full service Sangria Sunday brunch accompanied by live mariachi music every Sunday from 10am to 1:30pm. The price is $17.99 per person. A kids menu is also available.

Remember that this pertains to the Irvine location only. The Newport Beach location still has the Champagne Sunday Brunch Buffet that they've had for a couple years now. And the Irvine location still has their regular breakfast menu every other day of the week.

That sounds like a fantastic brunch! Especially would like the Crepas de Pollo. Mexican breakfast is so much better then the typical American fare, IMHO.

I'm going to be in OC over thanksgiving week. Hoping to connect with some great Mexican food, as there are only four Mexican restaurants in our entire county!

Christian, any spots you would recommend in the Los Alamitos/Seal Beach/Cypress area? I know I'll hit Charo Chicken.

Sounds yummy. What's the price?

Sled dog,

I'm really trying to get out to that area you mentioned. There's a place not too far from Charo Chicken in Seal Beach that serves Yucatan food and I'm hoping to cover them soon. They are one of a small handful of places that inspired me to start this blog, yet, paradoxically enough, I haven't been there since starting it. Los Alamitos has a Taco Surf and Cypress has a place on Katella called Linda's Mexican or something like that.

BabbyDaddy, the price is $17.99. Think I'll work that back into the entry above. Knew I was forgetting something.

Do they serve the Sangria drink at the Irvine location and does it cost extra

ChristianZ said...

I believe the answer to both those questions is yes.
