The short ribs braise for hours until fork-tender, then are shredded and served on house-made heirloom corn tortillas. Reviews mention the meat falls apart at the gentlest pressure. The contrast between tender filling and crispy tortilla edges makes this a standout item on the menu.
Tips from diners
Order two tacos—the portion size encourages it and they're that good.
The shrimp are roasted whole in cast iron until the shells char slightly, then tossed with house-made XO sauce that brings umami depth. Garlic and chiles add aromatic heat. The technique results in shrimp that are juicy inside with concentrated flavor from the roasting.
Tips from diners
Ask for extra lime wedges—the acidity balances the rich XO sauce beautifully.
The salad changes based on what the market offers that morning. Recent selections have included bitter greens with pumpkin seeds, heritage tomatoes with herbs, and seasonal squash. The housemade vinaigrette balances acidity and fat without overwhelming the vegetables.
Tips from diners
Great as a light lunch or starter—pairs well with the burger or tacos.
The beef is freshly ground in-house and seasoned simply. The au poivre sauce brings French technique to a casual burger format. Reviewers praise the balance of spice and the quality of the meat. The burger sits on toasted bread with crispy edges.
Tips from diners
Best ordered at lunch before dinner rush—execution is consistent but waits can get long.
The pasta changes with market availability. Recent specials have featured cacio e pepe with Mexican crema, and fresh tagliatelle with local market vegetables. The pasta is rolled and cut in-house daily. Reviewers note the silky texture and restrained seasoning.
Tips from diners
Ask what fresh pasta special is available today—these rotate and sell out.
