Craving Huevos Rancheros in Williamsburg? Here’s What Makes This Brunch Worth Getting Up For
Updated: Sep 30
Some brunch orders are a decision. This one is a habit.
If you have been searching for huevos rancheros in Williamsburg, you are probably not after a plate that photographs well and disappears in four bites. You want eggs, salsa, something underneath to soak it all up, and a table nobody is rushing you out of.
That is the plate Viva Toro puts in front of you at 987 Grand St. Sunday is the only day it happens.
What Is Actually on the Plate?
Viva Toro’s Huevos Rancheros starts with corn tortillas topped with two fried eggs, red salsa, onions, cilantro and sour cream. It is served with rice and refried beans.
Nothing on that list is trying to be clever. The eggs go on the tortillas. The salsa goes over the eggs. The sour cream cools the whole thing down, and the rice and beans make sure nobody is quietly hungry again by three.
It lives in the Entradas section of the brunch menu, which is the main-course half. So this is not a starter or a side you add on. It is the plate the rest of your brunch gets built around.
Why Huevos Rancheros in Williamsburg Works Better on a Sunday
Brunch at Viva Toro runs every Sunday from 12 PM to 4 PM. One day, one window, one room that fills up with groups.
That schedule suits this dish. Huevos rancheros is not delicate food. It is the order you make when you have somewhere to sit for a while, people to sit with, and no particular reason to leave. A four-hour Sunday window is built for exactly that.
The room helps too. Viva Toro is a Mexican restaurant that turns into a nightlife venue by the weekend, and brunch keeps some of that energy without asking you to shout across the table. Birthday groups, families, and friends recovering from Saturday all end up in the same room.
What Comes With Sunday Brunch
Brunch is a set package: $51.99 per person for a two course meal and 90 minutes of bottomless mimosas or sangria. Pricing does not include tax or gratuity.
Two courses means you open with something from Bocadillos, then move into your main. Starters include Tazon Frutas with diced fruit, yogurt and granola, guacamole blended with cilantro, onions and lime, Empanadas Mixtas with one chipotle chicken and one cheese, Calamares Fritos, and Waffle de Plata.
Then the Huevos Rancheros lands. You can see the full lineup on the Viva Toro brunch menu before you book, which is worth doing if your table is large enough that everyone wants a say.
Ordering for a Table That Cannot Agree
Not everyone wants eggs. That is usually fine, because the brunch mains cover most arguments.
Rancherada de Churrasco is grilled skirt steak topped with two fried eggs, served with home fries and poblano peppers, for the person who wants the same idea with more weight to it. El Pollo y El Gofre pairs panko fried chicken with homemade cinnamon waffles, strawberries, blueberries, banana and powdered sugar. El Americano keeps it simple with buttermilk pancakes, eggs, bacon and mixed fruit. There is also Avocado Toast on sourdough with guacamole, grape tomatoes, corn, mixed greens, egg and pickled red onions, and a Toro Burger for whoever refuses to eat breakfast food after noon.
