Makers & Finders: A Latin Brunch Spot in Downtown Summerlin

When it comes to weekend brunch in Las Vegas, few places bring the energy and flavor quite like Makers & Finders.

This lively Latin café in Downtown Summerlin combines upbeat vibes, bold flavors, and a menu that celebrates comfort food from across Latin America — all with a modern twist.

From empanadas and yuca fries to chilaquiles piled high with avocado and queso fresco, every dish bursts with color and creativity.

Whether you’re here for a casual breakfast, a social brunch with friends, or just a great cup of coffee on the patio, Makers & Finders delivers a little taste of Latin flair.

A Lively Brunch Scene with Local Charm

We stopped by for Sunday brunch, and the atmosphere was exactly what you’d hope for — cheerful, busy, and full of that weekend energy.

The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating, and the patio was the perfect choice for a crisp fall morning. Inside, the bright décor, upbeat music, and friendly staff create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Even though the restaurant was bustling, the service was quick, and the food arrived hot and beautifully presented. It’s easy to see why Makers & Finders has become a go-to spot for locals who love flavorful, high-quality food in a fun, laid-back setting.

Starters That Steal the Show

We kicked off brunch with two appetizers that perfectly set the tone for the meal: the Empanada Flight and the Yuca Frites.

The empanada flight is a must-try — one of each flavor: Beef, Chicken, Queso, Shrimp, and Spicy Mushroom. Each empanada is golden, flaky, and packed with flavor, showcasing a mix of traditional fillings and creative twists. The spicy mushroom was a standout for its rich, earthy taste and just the right amount of heat.

The Yuca Frites were another hit — crispy on the outside, soft inside, and served with queso fresco and roasted garlic aioli. It’s one of those appetizers that disappear fast, especially when shared around the table.

These starters capture what Makers & Finders does best — taking classic Latin comfort food and giving it a fun, modern touch.

Flavorful Mains That Hit the Spot

For the main course, we opted for two very different yet equally satisfying dishes: the Chilaquiles and the Avocado Salad.

The Chilaquiles were everything you’d want in a hearty brunch dish — a colorful plate of tortilla chips layered with salsa verde, folded eggs, black beans, queso fresco, sour cream, and fresh avocado, all topped with a mix of onions and jalapeños. Every bite had a balance of crunch, spice, and creaminess that made it impossible to stop eating.

The Avocado Salad was a lighter option, yet packed with flavor and texture — featuring sliced avocado, spring mix, corn salsa, cherry tomato confit, red onion, queso fresco, and a tangy chipotle vinaigrette.

It’s fresh, satisfying, and perfect for anyone seeking a refreshing alternative to the traditional brunch lineup.

One thing that stands out about the menu here is its ability to cater to a wide range of dietary needs. There are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options, all made with the same attention to flavor and presentation.

Great Food, Great Location

Located right in the heart of Downtown Summerlin, Makers & Finders is surrounded by shops, entertainment, and some of the best people-watching in the area.

After brunch, you can easily stroll through the open-air shopping center or grab a coffee to go and enjoy the sunshine. 

The restaurant itself is clean, bright, and modern, with a layout that works equally well for a casual solo visit or a social meal with friends.

And while it’s popular for brunch, Makers & Finders also offers online ordering, pickup, and delivery — perfect for those who want to enjoy Latin comfort food from the comfort of their own homes.
