An Experience Where Every Combination Counts

At Porfirio’s, the Cristalino Festival celebrates not only tequila, but also the harmony between cuisine and mixology.

The Festival Cocktails

1. Midnight — deep, spicy, with an enveloping profile.

2. Verdant — herbal, fresh, and balanced.

3. Astromelia — floral, subtle, and with a silky texture.

4. Ocaso — fruity, smooth, and with a warm finish.

Pairings that Surprise

Clamato Oysters + Verdant

Clamato Oysters stand out for their marine freshness and spicy touch. Verdant, with its clean, herbal character, provides balance and highlights the dish’s natural acidity. A pairing that feels brilliant, designed for those seeking freshness and contrast in every sensation.

Salmon and Tuna Tower with Mango + Astromelia

The Salmon and Tuna Tower with Mango blends tropical sweetness, a smooth texture, and citrus notes. Astromelia, with its delicate, floral profile, naturally complements the freshness of the fish and the contrast of the mango. A pairing that flows smoothly and creates a sequence of light and enveloping flavors.

Rib Eye Huarache with Escamoles + Midnight

The new Rib Eye Huarache with Escamoles combines depth, tradition, and character. Midnight’s spicy and enveloping profile enhances the intensity of the rib eye and adds a warm dimension that highlights the nuances of the corn and escamoles. A combination designed for those seeking strength and balance.

The Rib Eye with bone marrow is one of the most intense dishes on the menu. Ocaso, with its fruity notes and smooth finish, complements the character of the cut and provides a warm contrast that balances the richness of the bone marrow. A pairing that leaves a memorable impression with every sip.
