“Apparently, a rave from the New York Times, a James Beard semifinalist chef, and a Michelin Guide award aren’t enough to convince you pig-ignorant philistines that Mexican alta cocina is actually a thing,” said owner John Enigma about his decision to remodel and rename his flagship venture. “So when Chef Zepeda offers up a $17 Ceviche Cocktail that uses dried shrimp and adds octopus, uni, roe, young coconut, sangrita, and callo de hocha, all you can do is go on about the $2 stuff you scored from a street cart that one time in Rosarito. Right, got it. Who wants crispy pork from the Yucatan in a spicy pumpkin seed sauce and a reduction of sour orange, red onion, and habanero when you can get an adobado taco with green hot sauce? Fine, you win, you thick-tongued savages. Margaritas and carne asada combos for all! Check back for our grand re-opening in four weeks!”
