Cafe Citron – Mexican
Cafe Citron pulses with the vibrant energy of a Latin getaway, where the air is thick with the savory aroma of wok-seared Lomo Saltado and the crisp snap of golden, gluten-free empanadas. The bar serves as a spirited centerpiece, crafting zesty Brazilian caipirinhas and pineapple-infused mojitos that pair perfectly with the festive, sun-drenched atmosphere. The experience concludes on a decadent note with warm churros dipped in strawberry chocolate or a slice of velvety, homemade tres leches that captures the sweet heart of traditional Latin hospitality.
