Best Dishes at Cosme
Maine Uni Tostada with Bone Marrow
Small PlatesEnrique Olvera's signature dish at Cosme — a thin, crispy corn tostada base spread with rich, buttery bone marrow, topped with generous uni (sea urchin) and bright pickled onion. Luxurious, umami-driven, and utterly simple. The contrast of crispy toast, creamy marrow, briny uni, and acidic pickle is masterful.
Duck Carnitas for Two
MainsTender, rich duck leg confit that falls apart at the touch of a spoon. Served on warm handmade tortillas with house pickles, raw onion, and fresh cilantro. A showstopping main course designed for sharing — the slow-cooked duck is supremely luxurious and pairs perfectly with the simplicity of warm tortillas.
Corn Husk Meringue
DessertEnrique Olvera's signature dessert — a light meringue infused with corn husk essence, served with seasonal fruit and delicate accompaniments. Sweet but not heavy, showcasing Cosme's commitment to elevated Mexican ingredients.
Esquites with Crab
SidesA Cosme twist on esquites (Mexican street corn salad) — fresh corn kernels tossed with sweet crab meat, creamy sauce, salty cotija cheese, and bright chili powder. Light, summery, seasonal. A vegetable-forward dish that doesn't feel like a side.
Grilled Octopus Tostada
Small PlatesTender, charred grilled octopus on a crispy corn tostada, finished with bright green herb oil and a smooth emulsion underneath. A lighter alternative to the bone marrow uni — showcase seafood preparation with excellent technique.
