Breakfast Through Dinner
La Finca Branding Iron serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in Merced. Monday is closed. Tuesday through Saturday runs from 8 AM to 9 PM, and Sunday runs from 8 AM to 8 PM.
That schedule gives a clear window for early coffee, a midday meal, or a full evening table. A guest can plan around a work break, a family stop, or a later dinner without guessing at the day’s hours. The long Tuesday-to-Saturday service also leaves room for a slower pace, from the first seatings in the morning to the last dinner covers at night.
The Sunday schedule ends earlier. Monday has no service. For a broader look at the kitchen’s range, see the menu page.

Ways To Order
La Finca Branding Iron offers delivery, takeaway, and dine-in service. Table service is part of the dining room, so guests sit and order at the table rather than moving through a counter line.
The bar on site gives the room another place to settle in before a meal or alongside dinner. Reservations are accepted, and dinner reservations are recommended. That matters on nights when the room fills with couples, groups, or visitors who want a set time.
A private dining room is available for meals that need more separation from the main room. It gives the restaurant a second pace: one side built for regular service, the other set aside for smaller gatherings. The dining room can also support a slower lunch, a longer dinner, or a private booking that starts with drinks and moves into a full meal.
