Yes, there’s brunch in the Fort Worth Stockyards: Here’s where to go weekend mornings
If you’re hankering for pizza, Tex-Mex or barbecue Christmas Day, chef Tim Love’s restaurants are cooking:
▪ Paloma Suerte, his new Tex-Mex restaurant that has become one of the busiest in Mule Alley, will open at 4 p.m. for anyone who needs a margarita and queso instead of more fruitcake.
▪ Gemelle, next to Hotel Otto at 4400 White Settlement Road, will open for lunch and dinner pizzas and Italian food.
▪ Woodshed Smokehouse, his barbecue restaurant at 3201 Riverfront Drive, will open at 6 p.m.
Paloma Suerte has become the most popular of the three. Now, there’s more good news for weekend Stockyards visitors.
Paloma opens at 9 a.m. weekends for brunch.
If you’ve tried to dine anywhere in the morning when the Stockyards is less crowded, or feed a family before the Fort Worth Herd cattle drive, then you know breakfast is tough to find outside of the pricey Hotel Drover.
Paloma Suerte’s brunch rivals that at Don Artemio and the rest of the city’s best.
Chilaquiles rojos with eggs ($14) and huevos rancheros with skirt steak ($16) have a chef’s touch.
Instead of avocado toast, there’s an avocado tostada with pico ($12, or $14 with egg).
On the sweet side, there’s “sopaipilla bread French toast” with strawberries, cream and Tuaca liqueur honey ($12).
And yes, you can order enchiladas or breakfast tacos.
If you haven’t gone to Paloma Suerte, it’s deep in Mule Alley along Marine Creek.
Park easily in the alley early mornings, or walk from East Exchange Avenue past Tannhill’s Tavern and take the first walkway west.
The brunch is only 9-11 a.m. (Note that crowds start coming to the Stockyards about 10:30 a.m. for the daily 11:30 a.m. cattle drive.)
Paloma Suerte is open for dinner Mondays through Wednesdays, lunch and dinner Thursdays and Fridays and from 9 a.m. brunch through dinner weekends.
It will open at 9 a.m. Christmas Eve, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, but for dinner only on Christmas Day; 682-267-0414, palomasuerteftx.com.
