Chica - Review - The Strip - Las Vegas - The Infatuation

"Having weekend brunch at Chica inside The Venetian feels like eating eggs in a nightclub. Guests in the low-lit bar area dip fried empanadas in guajillo consomme and dig into baskets of pillowy arepas, while a DJ basks in the glow of purple and blue stage lights. This Latin American spot even builds benedicts with flair, topping a cheese arepa with salty Mexican chorizo, creamy guac and a poached egg hidden under an electric green jalapeno-scallion foam. For something sweet, drag a slice of the maple syrup-drenched challah bread French toast through the dulce de leche drizzle and dip in whipped cream. For a fiery finish, end the meal with a flaming skull and watch as the chocolate mold is set aflame to reveal a lava cake served with marshmallow and horchata ice cream." - Ryan Slattery
