South Lamar, Austin · restaurant
A colorful Mexican restaurant that pulls from four distinct culinary regions (Oaxaca, Puebla, Mexico City, and the Yucatán) rather than treating the cuisine as a single style. The standout is the mole negro, made from scratch and layered with roasted chiles, plantains, and deep, slow-building complexity that reveals something different with every bite. Fresh tortillas perfume the dining room, and the margaritas are poured with enough conviction to make the trip home worth planning for.
Roasted Poblano stuffed with your choice of filling, topped with tomatillo sauce.
Slow-braised achiote pork from Yucatan, served with black beans, xni pec and tortillas
Two enchiladas in rich Oaxacan dark mole with garlic rice and beans

Happy hour runs Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri, 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
