About Verbena

Central Mexican flavors anchor the menu, from Pulpo Enamorado—Spanish octopus in pipián with mole accents—to a Dulce Tamal de Guayaba that makes a strong case for dessert. By day it feels like a polished neighborhood restaurant; on weekends, drag brunch turns the room into something much louder. Daily happy hour from 3–6pm helps bridge the gap between the two.
