Yerba Buena

Editorial Review

No, not that yerba buena. Although the minty herb makes appearances in mojitos, ice cream, and jicama salad here. Julian Medina gets creative, spreading his Mexican roots across Pan-Latino tangents. Cuban sandwiches, Peruvian ceviches, Caribbean roast pork, plus Argentine yerba mate sprinkled in for medida buena. Ex-Polish greasy spoon space unrecognizable as lively tropical zone, with hopping little bar and polyrhythmic mix. Service has a hint of Latino formality, makes for nice blend of funky and classy.
