A Yucatán-inspired restaurant dishing up coastal Mexican cuisine, from the chef behind LA’s iconic Guerrilla Tacos.

The sprawling garden-like outdoor oasis draws influences from the Yucatán jungle and Mayan Riviera. Enter via a reeded tunnel that opens to a lush hideaway of vibrant greenery, basket chandeliers, hand-woven seating and communal tables lit with candles. 

On the menu expect a confluence of LA, Mexican, and specifically Yucatánean flavors from celebrated chef and Los Angeles native - who was awarded a Bib Gourmand for Guerrilla Tacos.  Highlights include scallop ceviche tostadas; oysters with jalapeño mignonette; tiradito-style Kampachi crudo; big-eye tuna aguachile, pescado zarandeado; braised lamb neck barbacoa with carrot habanero salsa and cochinita pibil. Washed down with craft Mexican beers and wine and mezcal-driven cocktails.
