Brunch in Tacoma Just Got Woke (Thanks to Garlic Rice & Egg)

So there I was, thinking brunch in Tacoma was all runny eggs, sad toast, and maybe a waffle if the stars aligned—and then BOOM—garlic rice and egg showed up and basically kicked the door down like it was the brunch sheriff in town. And now? Brunch in Tacoma will never be the same.

Listen, I’m no brunch snob. I don’t need my food to come with a side of jazz sax or be served in a mini cast iron pan with a rosemary sprig on top for no reason. But I do need my food to taste like someone cared. And at Lechon Loco, they really care—especially when it comes to Filipino fusion brunch done right.

If you’re still sleeping on garlic rice and egg, consider this your official wake-up call. And yes, that pun was intentional. Just like our brunch menu in Tacoma, it's all cooked up with love and a little spice.

Let’s Talk About Garlic Rice. Yes. Rice. For Brunch.

Okay, look. I know what you’re thinking.

“Rice… for brunch? Is that legal?”

Yes. Yes, it is. And it’s glorious.

Because this isn’t your typical fluffy white rice with no personality. This is garlic rice—toasted, golden, slightly crispy in spots, and smelling like the heavens opened up and said, “You deserve better, brunch warrior.”

This stuff hugs your soul. It’s like a side dish and a main event all rolled into one. And when you put an egg on top—sunny side, runny yolk, melty magic—you’re not just eating a meal… you’re solving problems you didn’t even know you had.

Eggs the Way They Were Meant to Be

We’ve all been there: brunch menus that give you 12 egg options, none of which make sense.

“Would you like that poached, over-easy, under-moderately-steamed?”

I don’t know! I just want it to taste good and not look like it was cooked during a power outage.

At Lechon Loco, we keep it real. You want eggs? We’ll give you the perfect egg to go with your garlic rice—crispy around the edges, soft in the middle, and guaranteed to run just enough to sauce up that rice like it was meant to be together all along.

Egg + garlic rice = brunch destiny fulfilled.

More Than Just a Side Dish—This Is Brunch Reimagined

Now I know what you’re thinking:

“Okay okay, garlic rice and egg. That’s cute. But is that it?”

Oh, friend. That’s just the start.

We’ve got a whole brunch lineup in Tacoma that plays backup vocals to this superstar duo. You can pair your garlic rice and egg with:

• Longganisa (Filipino sausage) – sweet, savory, and the reason you’ll cancel that gym membership.

• Lechon Belly – yeah, we said it. Pork belly for brunch. We’re not messing around.

• Adobo Chicken – marinated, bold, fall-off-the-bone vibes.

• Beef Tapa – thin sliced, grilled, and the brunch version of "let's get serious."

It’s like a choose-your-own-adventure book, except everything ends in joy and food coma.

Tacoma’s Brunch Game Just Leveled Up

Before Lechon Loco opened its doors at 3511 McKinley Ave, brunch in Tacoma was… fine. You had your pancakes, your avocado toast, your egg Benedict with names like “The Monty Hollandaise.” Respect to all that.

But now? We’re out here with Filipino-Mexican-American fusion brunch that hits harder than a double espresso with no food in your stomach.

It’s brunch for people who love flavor, who aren’t afraid to have rice with their eggs, and who are tired of pretending that $17 toast counts as a meal.

At Lechon Loco, we don’t brunch like amateurs. We brunch like it’s a weekend event with seasoning.

Let’s Get Real: You Need This in Your Life

So here’s the thing.

If you’ve never had garlic rice and egg, we forgive you. It’s okay. You’ve been doing your best with what brunch has offered you so far. But now? You know better. And once you know better, you have to eat better.

Garlic rice and egg isn’t trendy. It’s not trying to be fancy. It’s real, honest, comforting food that’s been a staple in Filipino homes forever—and now we’re bringing it to the Tacoma brunch scene like, “Hey, you hungry or what?”

Pair it with some of our ube iced coffee (yes, it’s purple and yes, it’s perfect) or a sweet Mangonada if you're feeling tropical, and you’ve got a brunch worth canceling all your weekend errands for.

Come Hungry, Leave Woke

At Lechon Loco, we believe brunch shouldn’t be basic. It should be bold, flavorful, and make you question why you ever settled for dry frittatas and sad granola.

That’s why our brunch is stacked with Filipino flair, Mexican heart, and American brunch energy—but make it exciting.

We don’t do pretense. We do plates that make your face light up and your fork move faster than your brain.
