The menu, boasting a panoply of flavors and textures, spins with the seasons.

This oval of griddled corn masa, blue on one side and yellow on the other, was filled with black beans, topped with seafood longaniza, and set in a duo of luscious salsas. Other highlights revealed tamal colado presented with roasted poblano cream; and slow-r1.6km

- Ciccio MioBib The Hogsalt restaurant group isn’t known for restraint and this is certainly true of its latest venture—a saucy, Italian-American looker that goes full-speed ahead in its charming, throwback setting, with bold flavors and hearty portions.Pastas are made in-house, and first timers will want to sample the lasagna Bolognese rotolo, a creative riff on the classic and far lighter than it sounds. Coal-roasted half chicken with slow-roasted garlic, fried oregano and jus is a favorite, and of course, there must be dessert, especially that booze- heavy and decadent tiramisu.1.5km
