Manchamanteles

Named for the term meaning “tablecloth stainer,” the kitchen is led by Chef Generoso “Geno” Bahena, drawing regional traditions from across Mexico’s 32 states into contemporary focus. Cooking revolves around flame and smoke, using mesquite, oak, and an Aztec grill to prepare meats and seasonal ingredients. Contrasts of sweet, savory, and spice shape the dishes, while the kitchen accommodates varied diets through a nut-free mole as well as vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options.
