Mixtli

MEESH-LEE, MIX-TLI / has the variant form MEX-TLI: Aztec spoken word for cloud.

The Cloud

To define Mexican cuisine is impossible. Mexico is as diverse as it is vast. Within its borders lie rocky mountains, humid jungles, arid deserts, and endless coasts: a stark diversity that forced each region to develop uniquely rich cultural and culinary histories.

Like clouds, our menu travels from place to place offering a tour in Mexican gastronomy. If the state has a border with the ocean, we start our trek on the coast and work inland, bringing dishes specifically from that region or state. After each season, the cloud travels to other lands and we begin again.

It is our mission that you fall in love with Mexico.

Our current menu: La conquista: 1519

The Spanish arrived on the coasts of Yucatan in 1519. Two years later the fall of the Aztec empire resonated in all corners of Europe. The new world introduced the old to cacao, chiles, tomatoes, corn, vanilla, and a plethora of new ingredients. The Spanish brought dairy and livestock to the Americas. Beginning Friday, October 25, we will be taking our menu back to the 1500's, beginning in the town Extremadura, Spain, birthplace of Hernan Cortez, stopping in Cuba, and then moving through the coast of Yucatan, Veracruz, trekking into the forests of Puebla and Morelos to finally reach the great Aztec city of Tenochtitlan. The Conquest menu tickets are available now. It will be our last menu for 2024.
