South Lamar, Austin · restaurant
A refined Mexican restaurant where the kitchen treats tradition with almost obsessive patience, the mole negro is built from more than 30 ingredients and rests for days before it ever reaches the table. The 24-hour Chamorro al Pibil, a slow-roasted bone-in pork shank, is the headline dish, while tortas arrive on house-baked birote, the crusty Guadalajara-style sourdough that’s rarely done this well outside Mexico. Make a reservation and come hungry enough for both.
Happy hour runs Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
