Chef Maycoll Calderón and partner Walter Meyenberg have taken over the patio space on Sunset Boulevard once home to Cowboys and Turbans. The 100-seat restaurant is currently only serving dinner but will eventually become an all-day dining destination, including lunch and weekend brunch.
Born in Venezuela, Calderón has worked with three-Michelin-starred chefs including Juan Mari and Elena Arzak and Ferran Adria as well as Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Together with Meyenberg, he opened Huset in Mexico City in 2015 and also operates Hanky Panky, a members-only cocktail bar in Mexico City.
At Tintorera, he serves a refined, seafood-centric menu that emphasizes crudo and raw plates, alongside roasted fish and meat dishes.
There’s also an extensive wine and cocktail menu focused on mezcal.
Inside, a hidden speakeasy aims to transport guests to Acapulco's golden era of the 1950s.
