What to Order at
Luerna

Short rib broth with root vegetables, slow-cooked 18 hours. Simple, restorative, the winter staple.

"Restorative, simple, the winter anchor of the menu. This is what you want on a cold Mexico City evening."

Smoked amberjack with roasted tomato and serrano. Wood-fired char that defines the kitchen's voice.

"Smoked amberjack on wood fire — the char defines the kitchen. A signature that shows exactly what Luerna is about."

Oaxacan chocolate melted tableside, served with churro sticks. A dramatic end to the meal.

"Tableside service elevates this into an experience. The chocolate is genuinely excellent."

Baked avocado stuffed with crab, cotija, and herbs. The signature opener.

"Unexpected and successful. The cotija adds salt, the herbs add freshness. A strong start to the meal."

Tuna tartare on a baked corn shell with chipotle mayo and avocado. Modern touches, local fish.

"Local tuna, chipotle mayo, baked corn shell. The modern touches do not overwhelm the excellent fish."
