Located on the second floor of Vía Corporativo, Mexico's second self-sustainable building, the restaurant strives for sustainability by utilizing products that do not travel more than 200km from farm to table. Noteworthy dishes include aguachile, featuring slivers of local rockot dressed with salsa verde and avocado puree. Lechon prensado is an enticing roasted pork plated with a zesty roasted tomatillo salsa as well as reduced pork jus. It
