For an authentic southwest dining experience, Lon’s at the Hermosa is the place to go. Once the home and studio for artist Alonzo (Lon) Megargee, Lon’s at the Hermosa is a hand built ranch house and the only remaining hacienda in Arizona. The charm of the landmark is reflected in the award winning American cuisine and the unique twist on Sunday brunch. An ala carte menu including fresh salads, salmon, steak and eggs is offered, in addition to “Lon’s Original Hacienda Brunch.” Instead of buffet style displays as far as the eye can see, each party selects non-alcoholic drinks and will be served a basket of homemade breads, an arrangement of fresh fruit, a platter of wood-grilled breakfast meats, and a choice of one of the brunch entrees. Entrée choices range from buckwheat blueberry pancakes to huevos rancheros, a southwest favorite. All foods are organic and from ecologically sound sources. To top it all off, Lon’s features live jazz music on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The Mexican and Spanish architecture, the breathtaking Arizona desert views and the tranquil patio will make this a brunch unlike any others.
