On a lazy LA weekend morning, brunch can be the primary motivator to get out of bed on (yet another) sunny day to meet friends and make plans for the day. While eggs and bacon are always good as a fall back plan, sometimes the best brunch comes from more decadent places. Read on to find the best brunch places in West LA.
Tacos Tu Madre is not your average taco establishment. Incorporating modern ingredients into a variety of Mexican classics, this place is perfect for a quick on-the-go bite that’s not only delightful, but healthy and fresh too. The menu is an interesting blend of Mexican classics like elote, and more modern creations spanning the gamut from ostrich to duck confit and foie gras. You can’t miss this place, with the colorful Día de los Muertos mural by The Art of Chase adorning the façade.
