Description
An unassuming exterior hides a glistening underground dining room that strikes a rare balance: it is lively without forcing you to shout over the table. The kitchen focuses on traditional flavors, serving up rich birria and mole alongside fresh ceviche mixtos and a non-traditional take on breakfast huevos rancheros. While the bar program is popular, the sweet-sour tamarind margarita is a particular standout for its dedicated following.
