Beat The Heat
Summertime: where the livin’ is easy and the flavors are fantastic! This season at your neighborhood First Watch, we’re leaning into bold ingredients, and I can’t wait for you to sink your teeth into these dishes.
If you’ve been a First Watch fan for a while, you know we love putting new twists on your favorite brunch classics, and this menu of seasonal offerings certainly brings the heat and features two of my personal favorite proteins – Chorizo and Barbacoa.
One of our newest innovations is the Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict, a quesabirria-styled taco where we tint the tortillas with red chile sauce before pan searing, filing and folding them over. Then we serve them as a benedict (plot twist!) in all its crispy, cheesy and messy glory… because who doesn’t like a good mess at brunch? And for our sweet-treat kind of people, our Blueberry Muffin Top Griddle Cakes are baked exactly as they sound – just the top, just for you – sharing optional.
Ready to sip on some sunshine? This season, our craveable summertime juice – Watermelon Wake-Up – makes its triumphant, refreshing return. Another favorite making a comeback since its 2018 debut: our Hacienda Hash, packed with the vibrant colors of the season.
Here’s our full menu of summertime flavors, available nationwide* through August 14:
Barbacoa Quesadilla Benedict
Two barbacoa quesadillas prepared quesabirria-style, topped with poached cage-free eggs and covered with our Vera Cruz hollandaise, ranchero sauce and scallions. Served with seasoned black beans topped with housemade pico de gallo.

See you there!
