Brunch at Toca Madera (West Hollywood, CA): Churro Waffles and Boozy Popsicles

Looking for a new brunch place around West Hollywood? Head to Toca Madera and its plush lounges for two things: churro waffles and boozy popsicles.

Toca Madera

You can get the churro waffle on its down, dusted with cinnamon sugar (which is more churro-like), or get it as a Chicken and Waffle (chipotle chicken strips, churro waffle, served with honey butter, maple syrup, tangy hot sauce, $16)

On a hot day, definitely get one of the Adios Felisha (Don Julio tequila, cucumber, mint, tajin, seasonal paleta - $15 each)

We had a mango and a strawberry when we went, and they made the perfect desserts. The paleta themselves were quite good, very refreshing!


OK, I did say get the churro waffle, but actually my favorite brunch entree was the Machaca Scramble (braised short rib with scrambled egg, cherry tomato, pasilla peppers, potatoes, toca queso, guacamole, chipotle crema, served with house made flour tortilla, $12)

This dish had all the ingredients and the flavors I liked, it was hard to stop eating.

Have a vegetarian friend? They can get the Huevos Rancheros (soyrizo and cheese enchilada dipped in black bean puree, topped with fried egg, red and green sauce, $11)

Another cocktail I really enjoyed and is perfect for brunch is the "But First, Coffee", made with vanilla-infused El Jimador tequila, Stumptown cold brew, caffe lollita, cinnamon ($15)

Not too sweet, well balanced, and you definitely taste the coffee.

Don't worry, they have the classic brunch cocktails, too, like the Bloody Maria (Chile de arbol infused Milagro tequila, escabeche, cholula, worchstershire, tomato, celery salt)

I didn't have any of the tacos at Toca Madera, so I can't vouch for those, but I enjoyed the brunch fares for the most part, and their cocktails were pretty interesting. If you're looking for a new brunch spot, this will be a fun place to try.
