4 /5 Lenore Aldridge: My family and I enjoyed a weekend brunch here when we came to Merced to helped my niece return to college and helping her moving in to her dorm. I had the chorizo special, pumpkin bread, and sweet tea. I wish I had ordered the blueberry lemonade, as that was homemade and fresh squeezed! I got dispenser sweet tea, not homemade. The fresh, homemade pumpkin bread was very moist and yummy! I did not love their chorizo dish. It was all potatoes. There was hardly any chorizo on the plate! I literally had to dig and look for any chorizo remnants under the pile of potatoes and feta. It was literally a plate of breakfast potatoes and feta cheese, with a side of avocado. The special came with eggs, but I do not eat eggs (allergic) so requested a substitution of spinach. I appreciate that the staff was willing to make the substitution. It was the complete lack of chorizo, what should have been the main ingredient in the dish, that made this dish such a disappointment. The customer service was unremarkable; nothing extraordinary or subpar. The patio seating was nice, minus the occasional mosquito that came to bug us. I don’t think I would patronize Toni’s again, but would try another breakfast/brunch spot.
