Encountering such an extensive menu for the first time can be both exciting and overwhelming. Here is a quick guide to putting together an initial order that offers a great taste of what the menu has to offer.<\/p>\n

To start: something for the whole table to share<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Traditional Guacamole\u2014featuring cherry tomatoes, red onion, and local cilantro\u2014is almost always a sure bet to kick off the meal. It is fresh, light, and perfect for snacking on with tortillas while you wait for the rest of your order.<\/p>\n

A snack that perfectly captures the restaurant’s concept<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Quesabirria\u2014served on a griddled blue corn tortilla with a crispy cheese crust and the consomm\u00e9 on the side\u2014is a great way to experience the blend of street-food tradition and refined execution that defines much of the menu.
\nThe main course: go for a grill classic
\nFor those looking for a signature dish, the Marinated Grilled Arrachera (skirt steak)\u2014served with grilled cactus, fresh panela cheese, and handmade heirloom corn tortillas\u2014is an excellent choice. It is an approachable, well-executed cut that avoids the intensity of the menu’s more complex dishes.<\/p>\n

Something on the side: the bar tells its own story<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A cocktail from the “mexology” menu, such as the Sonora or the Yucat\u00e1n, rounds out the experience and offers a clear sense of the bar program, which is crafted with the same care as the cuisine.
\nFinish with something memorable
\nThe Ancestral Chocolate Bread or the Churros are great options to ensure you don’t leave wondering what you missed out on regarding dessert.<\/p>\n

The best advice: don’t be afraid to ask<\/strong><\/h2>\n

No summary can replace the experience of asking the staff directly for their recommendations that evening. However, if it is your first visit and you aren’t sure where to begin, this guide serves as a great starting point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
