Latin American eatery with margaritas, frosé & brunch

























"For the ultimate in vibey lounging, Grand Castor’s recently launched brunch service every weekend. Expect chilaquiles topped with a runny egg, chili lime-seasoned fried chicken and waffles, and big ol’ breakfast burritos stuffed with chorizo, eggs, potatoes, peppers, cheddar, and onions. For imbibing, there’s a variety of agave-leaning cocktails, and a full espresso menu. Relax in the southwestern motif throughout dining area — complete with leather sofas, funky cactus sculptures, and an indoor fire pit." - Serena Maria Daniels

"The airy, pink-and-white-hued eatery offers cuisine with hints of Latin American influence, along with margaritas, frosé, and beer. The fireplace in the lounge creates a cozy vibe that can be enjoyed with beverages and appetizers while waiting for a table or hanging with friends." - Courtney Burk

"I saw that Union Joints is offering a free meal on Mondays for the duration of the shutdown to government employees affected by the furloughs; customers at Gran Castor can get an order of macaroni and cheese for free with a federal ID." - Brenna Houck

"Taking over the infamous Hooters on Big Beaver Road, Gran Castor (whose name means “big beaver” in Spanish) is a Troy-based restaurant from the popular Union Joints group; previews of its development and opening generated curiosity—especially the design preview that incorporated the midcentury Hooters orange fireplace." - Brenna Houck
