Editorial Review

Classics like carne asada, chiles rellenos, chicken in mole sauce and banana-leaf-wrapped fish topped with salsa and huitalacoches share menu space with unconventional creations, like a Mexican version of sloppy joes. Spicy soups, plenty of sharing plates and a tequila-driven cocktail list, all at decent prices."La plancha" style skillets come piping hot with steak, chicken or juicy prawns and sauteed onions and peppers. Besides homemade tortillas, their fish is ocean wise, and multiple gluten free options are available.
