Brunch Begins at Caracol; Crawfish Time at Liberty Station

GALLERIA— Brunch service officially kicks off this weekend (Feb. 9) at popular new seafood spot Caracol. Since the owners are Tracy Vaught and Hugo Ortega, the names behind local brunch institutions Backstreet Cafe and Hugo's, it'll be worth checking out soon. On the menu, look for cocteles, oven-roasted oysters, seafood-stuffed poblanos and wood-roasted bycatch and other fish. Traditional Mexican breakfast items like chilaquiles, migas and chorizo and egg tostadas will also be available, alongside some boozy breakfast drinks. Brunch hours are 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Sundays. Cost: $35 for adults and $12 for children ages 4 through 12; kids 3 and under eat free. [Eaterwire]
