The Best Brunch Spots Open on New Year’s Day in San Diego

"Chef Priscilla Curiel is legendary for helping to launch the birria craze when she started her first restaurant in San Ysidro in 2020. She’s since gained recognition in the Michelin Guide for her slow-braised 30-hour meat. Recently, she relocated her burrito and coffee house to Chula Vista, near her other restaurant, Tuetano Taqueria. At Mujer Divina, the menu features Curiel’s birria in a burrito or campechano. The specialty coffees include a churro latte, a Mexican mocha, and café con leche with agave. Usually open early on Wednesday through Sunday, the café will open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on New Year’s Day." - Helen I. Hwang, Candice Woo
