Chela – Mexican
Chela pulses with the vibrant energy of a modern cantina, where the intoxicating aroma of charred chilies and hand-pressed masa draws guests into a sun-drenched, rustic-chic sanctuary. Bold, ancestral flavors are reimagined with artistic flair, from velvety, complex moles to zesty, sea-bright crudos that find their perfect match in the smoky depths of a curated mezcal flight.
