We were drawn back by the menu descriptions in the February newletter and so started with the La Catrina Negra drink. The marigold flower powder was a very fun addition. The Queso appetizer was wrapped in hoja santa leaves that our server told us were grown in Chef Iliana’s own garden. The Estofado Istmeno was also delicious. The crowning touch was the Tamal de Chocolate with orange blossom ice cream. We like the ice cream so much we ordered an extra bowl. Can’t wait to see the next newsletter to see what we’ll be ordering during our next visit.

Interior Mexican Food offerings that were very interesting and tasty. The portions are as robust as the creativity and flavors! My husband deemed the Mole one of the best he's had. Our waiter, Marcos, was great - very attentive and helpful with menu selections. Will definitely be back!
