SET NoLibs

Añejo Philly

The newly opened establishment will be offering brunch for indoor or outdoor seating, as well as pick-up and delivery. The fixed price brunch option comes out to be $34 and gets you one brunch large plate and three drinks (your choice of a margarita, mimosa, sangria or bloody maria) – plus you can order a la carte. Dishes include huevos rancheros, carne asada con huevos, french toast (made with coconut soaked thick brioche bread and fresh fruit), a Mexican omelet and the massive Añejo Brunch Burger (made with a Pat LaFrieda Burger, brioche bun, cheese chicharron (fried cheese), queso blanco, guacamole and fresno chilies.) While there, Philadelphians can also try out Añejo’s unique spirited offerings: beverage wise, the establishment will be serving up an assortment of tequilas, margaritas, mezcal, raicilla, bacanora, specialty cocktails and sotol. However, the real draw will be the selection of agave spirits, which will feature some familiar favorites and also some lesser-known, rare and premium offerings.
