Description

Located on the ground floor of a residential building, this restaurant could easily go unnoticed, but one bite of their contemporary Mexican cooking and you won't soon forget its address. A welcoming staff invites you to take a seat and peruse their menu or opt for one of two tastings. A plantain molote with a bit of pickled onion is a nice opener before savoring the flavors of an aguachile in a cuttlefish ink broth. Tostada de camarón is a spot-on treat, then pescado zarandeado delights with its crispy skin. To finish, arroz con leche is comforting and classic.
