"When you wish your Easter plans involved a trip to Tulum, Mijo’s breezy, foliage-filled patio and dramatic 11-foot tall chandelier crafted from tied rope may help fulfill the fantasy. The a la carte brunch menu is just as creative, with items like a sticky bun with horchata whipped cream and fresh berries and the decadent churro French toast made with brioche bread soaked in tres leches custard. Holiday dinner specials include a modern Mexican take on a half rack of lamb with smoky, fire-roasted rajas with papas, and for dessert, a brown butter carrot cake layered with cream cheese frosting." - Emmy Kasten
"The Durango Resort’s Mexican restaurant is already a popular weekend destination. Dine either in the sleek back dining room or take brunch to the patio beneath a ceiling of macrame. Start with tortilla soup, share a super flavorful birria torta, and save room for churro French toast." - Janna Karel
"From 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday, the Durango’s Mexican restaurant hosts brunches of churro French toast, sizzling fajita plates, and butter-poached lobster tacos. Whether dining inside or beneath the large-scale macrame on the cozy patio, make brunch an event with $25 bottomless mimosas, micheladas, and spritzes." - Janna Karel
"The outdoor dining area at Mijo has all the style of the dining room with cozy seating and overhead macrame chandeliers. Settle in for tender birria short rib, fajitas, and ceviche. Or make it a morning visit with a brunch of tacos and churro French toast." - Janna Karel
"Entering the Mexican restaurant within the Durango Casino is exciting enough, navigating through a serpentine corridor adorned in marigolds. Follow it all the way to the dusky black dining room — or stop halfway at the entrance to a liquor cellar. There are bunnies everywhere but pull the right one to unlock a door and watch as the shelves of tequila give way to a crimson-drenched tequila bar." - Janna Karel
