Don’t forget the drinks! Share a Mimosa Tower with the table or try the Bloody Mary flight with four bold, unique flavors. As Revival likes to say, “Brunch without booze is just a sad, late breakfast.”

Chepe’s Mexican Grill
Brunch at a Mexican restaurant? Absolutely! Spice up your next brunch date at Chepe’s Mexican Grill.

Looking for something packed with extra protein? Try their breakfast egg tacos—soft tortillas filled with fluffy scrambled eggs, cheese, avocado, and finished with a sprinkle of queso fresco.
