Dishes

  • Taco de Costilla

    Taco

    Short rib taco. Braised then griddled. The most forgiving cut — never dry, always rich.

  • Taco de Gaonera

    Taco

    The insider cut — flank-adjacent, more flavor than bistek. Why chefs order this one. Michelin inspectors had two.

  • Taco de Bistek

    Taco

    Thin-cut beef griddled on steel, wrapped in handmade tortilla. Four components: meat, onion, cilantro, salsa. Nothing else.
