Meet the Newest Mexican Brunch in Las Vegas at Downtown’s La Monja

La Monjá, the coastal Mexican restaurant from Dan Krohmer at Fergusons Downtown, adds brunch to the mix starting on February 15. Every Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., the restaurant offers a new menu spanning chilaquiles and huevos rancheros to cauliflower steaks and chia bowls.

The $15 chilaquiles feature a sunny side up egg, and diners can add chicken for $3. An $18 Milanesa torta features fried pork, while the $15 tofu chile verde comes with nopales and potatoes. Diners can order a quesadilla for $13 and add chicken for $3 or mushrooms for $2. Enfrijoladas, enchiladas with pureed black beans coating the corn tortillas, come with chicken for $16. Of course, La Monja uses Nixtamal corn tortillas. The $20 steak con huevos, $17 cauliflower steak, and $14 corn pancakes round out the entrees.

Other options include pozole, oysters, and vegan or mixed ceviche.

Any dish can include a tofu scramble, chorizo con papas, or huevos a la Mexicana on the side.

Krohmer also notes that the patio is now open at the restaurant that sits across from his other new hit, the Japanese robata-style Hatsumi.
