Gift Tips
- Order the pan de elote cornbread if you want one of the restaurant’s standout dishes, especially with the truffle honey butter.
- Try the crab and avocado salad or kanpachi tostada for a fresh start to the meal.
- The queso with sourdough tortillas is a strong choice for sharing at the table.
- Ask about the avocado margarita or other cocktails if you want something distinctive to pair with dinner.
- Plan ahead for reservations, since popular dinner times can fill up quickly, and earlier or flexible dining times may be easier to book.
- Ask about the heat level on spicy dishes before ordering, since some plates can run very bold.
- If you are planning a special night, save room for dessert such as the chocolate cake or mezcal flan.
