★ The Legend
Sourdough Flour Tortilla with Recado Negro Butter
These delicate, perfectly griddled discs are made with Sonoran wheat and chicken fat, giving them a unique chewy texture and standalone quality. They're served with a rich recado negro butter, a flavorful accompaniment that elevates them beyond a simple bread course.
◆ Fan Favorite
Chocoflan
This reimagined traditional Mexican dessert features a dulse seaweed lace topping, adding a surprising savory note to the sweet chocolate and flan. It's a dish that many regulars, including Chef Caballero himself, find themselves craving after a meal.
● Chef's Pick
Beef Cecina Tlayuda
Chef Caballero explicitly recommends this dish for first-time à la carte diners, highlighting the cecina brushed with guajillo oil, edamame, and pistachio. It's topped with chicatana ants, handpicked from the desert after rain, showcasing a unique ingredient from Northern Mexico.
◇ Hidden Gem
Esquites with Mushroom Carnitas, Black Truffle, Mimolette, Sourdough
While many might overlook esquites, this version is a sophisticated take, featuring earthy mushroom carnitas, luxurious black truffle, and mimolette cheese, all served with sourdough. It's a dish that showcases the chef's ability to elevate humble ingredients with unexpected, global influences.
Insider Tip

First-timers often get caught between the tasting menu and à la carte. If you're unsure, start with the à la carte menu in the front dining room or at the bar; it allows you to explore a wider range of Chef Caballero's innovative dishes and experience the 'circle of sharing' concept more directly. The tasting menu, while excellent, is a more structured journey and can't accommodate all dietary restrictions.
