For the first course you will have a tostado free of gluten and corn and consisting of a tendon crisp. It is served with a bean marinade and guacamole.

You will find interesting creations and adaptations such as yeast butter, pistachio emulsion, and smoked-chilado jus.
The main course is unique. It consists of a short rib braised for several hours then shredded and finished with a crispy crust. It’s served with edible succulents and garnished with aioli.
Closing out the 6-course tasting menu is an ice cream enclosed inside a squash blossom that’s lightly fried in vodka tempura.
