Some things were simply built for sharing, and our Queso fundido is the table's first casualty every single time 🧀
Melted cheese, charred corn and grilled chorizo, drizzled with Apostle chilli oil and served with crunchy corn chips for the dunking. Order one to share. Regret ordering only one. Repeat next week.

We did warn you. "Leaving room for dessert has never been so difficult" is written on our menu for a reason, and these two are exactly why... Cinnamon-spiced churros with dulce de leche and candied almond crumb, or brownie empanadas filled with chocolate ganache and served with ice cream. 🍫 Pick one if you can. Get both if you're honest with yourself.

Ancho kūmara, broccoli, quinoa, pepitas, whipped feta, beetroot, citrus onions, and a hibiscus & lime dressing tying it all together. The Aztec Salad walked in as a side dish and left as a personality. 💁♀️

Our Beef Brisket Birria Burger is the reason you'll be loosening your belt before the chips even arrive. Head to our website to order or come see us IRL!

Al pastor glaze, chicharrón crunch, pineapple salsa, and a swipe of al pastor crema doing the absolute most. Our Pork Belly Bites have started at least three fights over the last bite on the plate. Totally worth it.

Order a Frida's Margarita and call it research. We'll back you up. 💋🍹

Bright fish, smoky al pastor salsa, sweet-spicy red onion chilli jam, a splash of hibiscus & lime agua, pepita pesto, seasonal fruit, chilli heat, and corn shards for crunch. Our ceviche is doing the absolute most, and we love her for it. 🌺🐟

If you've got a sweet tooth, you absolutely cannot go past these Empanada Brownies. Just picture a brownie, wrapped in sweet pastry, coated with cinnamon sugar, injected with a healthy dose of melted chocolate and served with a scoop of ice cream. Yes, it's decadent. Yes, you *need* this in your life.

And that was the correct order 🔥 Corn masa cups topped with tomato salsa, halloumi, red pepper crema, queso, spring onions. So morish we begged the chef to make it come in twos (you're welcome).
