Brunch burritos, via Oxomoco

Brunch and Lunch Now Every Day at Oxomoco
New-ish wood-fired Mexican joint Oxomoco has launched their new brunch program, and it’s exciting to now have a solid weekday option in that part of Greenpoint. We went last week and tried the kale burrito, and it definitely hit the mark on healthy(ish), tasty and filling. The dinnertime app Tuna Tostada makes an appearance on the menu, along with a vegetarian beet “chorizo” bowl, a chorizo torta and a dry-aged burger, along with other brunch staples.
Oxomoco | 128 Greenpoint Avenue
Brunch weekdays from noon till 3pm, and weekends from 11am-3pm.
