★ The Legend

Duck Carnitas

This dish is a multi-day endeavor, starting with Rohan ducks cured for three days, then braised overnight in a rich mixture that famously includes Mexican Coca-Cola, condensed milk, and evaporated milk. The result is incredibly tender, flavorful duck served in a cast-iron skillet with warm tortillas, making it a DIY taco experience that's been a signature since Cosme opened.

◆ Fan Favorite

Corn Husk Meringue

This visually striking dessert is an ode to Chef Olvera's childhood in Mexico City, combining the familiar meringue with a unique corn mousse and vanilla cream. The meringue itself is baked with charred and ground corn husk powder, offering a sweet and savory balance that's both whimsical and delightful.

◇ Hidden Gem

Uni Tostada

While some find it pricey, many consider the uni tostada a highlight, appreciating the combination of fresh uni with elements like avocado and bone marrow salsa.
