Divine Mexican Cuisine!!

Shocked that this place doesn’t have any reviews yet! Our friend invited us here, where we were pleased to see that they had clearly marked plant-based options on every section of their menu (9 total)!

We got 4 shareables, and were blown away at how upscale, unique and flavorful they all were. I really want to love mole, but have struggled with it being hit or miss. The mole in the Quesadillas De Portobello was so delicious! The Tostaditas De Tinga was everyone’s favorite, and the Coconut Aguachile was very fresh and unique tasting, really enjoyed. We also got the Ensalada De Barrio, and while it was yummy, it wasn’t something to write home about.

The mezcal cocktails were delicious, the waiters were attentive and wonderful, overall a 5/5 first experience here. We will definitely be back to try more of their plant-based options!
