MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Celebrated Chefs Mikel Alonso Garcia and Jonatan Gómez Luna Torres combine their talents at this stylish East Austin spot, offering refined takes on classic Mexican preparations. Diners can start things off with the requisite guacamole, or choose from a small assortment of carefully prepared ceviches and aguachiles featuring excellent seafood. Sauces especially impress, as in the case of a complex, layered mole manchamanteles made with plantain and pineapple, paired with a masa-based tetela topped with unctuous bites of slow-cooked pork belly. A collection of inventive cocktails adds interest to the meal, and a signature dessert of fluffy, creamy cheesecake, made with three cheeses and baked to order, intriguingly blends savory and sweet.
