A sophisticated take on the tostada format. Premium bluefin is seared briefly to maintain its buttery center, placed on a perfectly crispy tostada, and finished with avocado and toasted sesame seeds. Reviews consistently praise the tuna quality and the balance of textures.
Tips from diners
Don't skip this. The tuna quality is evident in the first bite—buttery and fresh.
A signature dish blending Japanese wagyu with Mexican technique. The wagyu is sliced thin and cured in a spicy, bright aguachile with lime, serrano chile, and aromatics. Multiple reviewers highlight this as a standout opening course that showcases the restaurant's commitment to quality ingredients and cultural fusion.
Tips from diners
You can taste the difference in the wagyu quality. This is worth the premium price for a starter.
A Spanish classic done right. Jamón ibérico is folded into a silky béchamel, breaded, and fried to a golden exterior. The interior stays creamy and luxurious, with the ham's complexity evident in every bite.
Tips from diners
A transportive taste of Spain. The quality of the jamón comes through despite the béchamel.
A Spanish-inflected snack with excellent execution. Tender octopus is battered and deep-fried until crispy, then tossed with vibrant chimichurri and served with charred lime for brightness. It's an excellent shareable plate.
Tips from diners
Order this if you love fried seafood. The octopus is tender and the chicharrón is crispy—no rubbery bites.
A standout vegetable course that showcases technique. Multiple mushroom varieties (cremini, oyster, porcini when available) are layered into a perfectly emulsified risotto with Parmesan and a whisper of truffle oil. The creaminess and earthy mushroom depth make it memorable.
Tips from diners
Even carnivores rave about this dish. The risotto is creamy without being heavy.
