In Charlotte, we brunch. So when there’s a new option on the scene, it’s cause for celebration. Que Fresa Taqueria + Bar has brought us just that — brunch with a Mexican twist.

Now, you can start your weekend at Que Onda’s sister restaurant, which opened up last fall in Wesley Heights. The all-day brunch menu will be served on both Saturdays and Sundays, with a drink menu to compliment the food. (And, of course, the usual menu of tacos, burritos, bowls and tortas will be available as well.)

Here’s a look at a few highlights from the new options.
