A laid back, lo-fi spot serving mostly plant-inspired dishes from the team behind Patent Pending.

The team behind Nomad’s popular underground cocktail bar Patent Pending has opened this Mexican restaurant next door. The plant-centric Mexican basement restaurant and cocktail bar takes inspiration from Baja California’s “rugged nature and raw beauty" with natural materials, woven art, desert plants and worn tiles. 

Helmed by Executive Chef Carlos Chavarria and influenced by his Mexican roots, the menu focuses on highlighting fruits, herbs, and vegetables, in addition to select free-grazed and pole-caught animal protein dishes - served alongside botanic-focused highballs and frozen margaritas.
