"Elevated coastal Mexican cuisine shines here with flawless ingredients and a menu that works as well family‑style as it does for solo ordering; I start with the slightly sweet squash tamal with mole verde and Thai basil, then move to beautifully charred octopus a la plancha with coloradito and a melty American Wagyu short rib suadero. For table‑side drama, there’s whole snapper tempura with mole amarillo, pork belly al pastor, and a massive surf‑and‑turf spread of Wagyu carne asada, lobster, jumbo shrimp, short rib, pork belly, and serrano, all with warm house‑made tortillas and refined salsas." - Andrea Bennett
