Casa De Salsa - Claremont

The brunch is served buffet style, and it’s an all-you-can-eat experience, which is essential for us, especially since drinks include unlimited champagne (the most crucial requirement!). One of the standout features of this place is that they bring a bottle of champagne to your table in a small ice bucket, along with a pitcher of orange juice. This was fantastic! No more waiting for the waiter to refill your mimosa—it deserves a star on its own! The buffet offered a variety of typical Mexican dishes, including Menudo (which was good!), sweet tamales, enchiladas, carnitas, and potatoes with bell peppers, among others. There was also a taco bar with freshly made corn tortillas and an omelet station for custom, fluffy omelets. The dessert bar was impressive, featuring the usual flan, churros, and buñuelos, as well as cheesecakes, cakes, and cookies. Another convenient aspect was that they allowed our entire party to sit down without having to wait for everyone to arrive—a common annoyance at other places when you’re thirsty and hungry. We will definitely be returning for this champagne brunch!

I came here for brunch, and the only thing that was halfway decent were the omelets from the omelet station. This was my second attempt in 15 years, and my first experience was just as disappointing. I won't be coming back again.
