Best Brunch: Toca Madera<\/b><\/p>\n

Flaming cocktails. Live guitar. Fire dancing. The vibiest weekend brunch in Houston is at Toca Madera, the sultry modern Mexican stunner on the ground floor of The Pavilion at The Allen. Expect dramatic design moments from a velvet-clad lounge wrapped in a giant bird\u2019s nest to sweeping wood ceilings and lush greenery, plus bold brunch plates and a killer tequila-forward cocktail list. Kick things off with the But First\u2026 Coffee, a bold mix of reposado tequila, espresso, coffee liqueur, taj\u00edn, and cinnamon Coca-Cola reduction; then dive into dishes like hamachi with smoked truffle ponzu, seasonal mushroom tacos, tres leches French toast and short rib barbacoa breakfast enchiladas. It\u2019s a full-on sensory experience \u2014 and yes, it\u2019s as extra as it sounds.<\/p>\n
