    We sat at the counter and really enjoyed chatting with the chef throughout our meal. It felt like we were hanging out at his house, eating at the kitchen island while he cooked. The chef recommended the camote asado, callo de hacha al horno, enmoladas de pollo, and the taco de suadero. Our favorite bites were the enmoladas de pollo and the taco de suadero. The tortillas and sauces are so good! We also had the birria de borrego which was really good but not quite worth the price compared to the other dishes we enjoyed.

    Dining at this Mexican fusion restaurant was an unforgettable experience we can’t wait to repeat! With a rotating menu, every visit offers something unique, making it well worth the cost. The flavors of each dish were exquisite and beautifully crafted, showcasing the chef’s incredible talent. For the ultimate experience, sit at the chef’s counter—you’ll be immersed in the artistry behind each plate. My top dish this time was the sweet mashed potatoes paired with tender, flavorful beef cheek—a perfect balance of comfort and sophistication. Their creative cocktails are a standout too, complementing the meal perfectly. We’ve already made a reservation for spring and are excited to see what the new menu has in store!
