Traditional papel picado hangs from the ceiling, original artwork covers the walls, and a general sense of cultural vibrancy permeates the dining room.
For dinner guests, enjoy fresh salsa made right next to your table.

Nothing quite compares to watching the aromatic herbs, zesty spices, and other staple ingredients come together right before your eyes.
Warm tortilla chips with just the right amount of salt are the perfect dipping utensils.
