Mi Cocina – Mexican
Vibrant colors and the bright, citrusy notes of fresh Texas redfish ceviche set the stage for a spirited dining experience where modern Mexican soul meets upscale comfort. Guests gather around tables laden with bubbling queso fundido and smoky brisket tacos, savoring a menu that balances the zesty crunch of hand-mashed guacamole with the comforting, aromatic warmth of savory chicken tortilla soup.
