There’s also the prerequisite Brunch Smash Burger showcasing a double brisket patty with caramelized onions, cheddar, pickles, animal sauce and a fried egg to round it all out. The burger is served with breakfast potatoes on the side.

Or you can be nice and opt for an egg white frittata filled with mushrooms, piquillo peppers, spinach and green onions and served with spicy aioli and a little green salad. It's up to you.

And yes! There’s even dessert. Guests can choose from a variety of flavors of sweet Japanese style shaved ice, which is made fresh in house.

Brunch at MOVIDA takes place Saturday and Sunday 9 to 2 p.m. Reservations can be made online.
