The restaurant features indoor and outdoor seating beneath a glowing canopy inspired by monarch butterfly wings, creating a vibrant and upscale setting in the heart of downtown. Guests can enjoy dishes like Octopus Maya with bone marrow, beef rib mole, and lechon asado paired with mezcal-forward cocktails and agave spirits.
