What Our Expert Scouts Are Saying
Get your capsaicin fix at this chic fresh flower-filled new Division Street cantina, where chiles reign supreme and the mezcal mingles freely amongst the merry crowds that populate the sleek marble bar and pretty tree-lined back patio. Chef Kelly Myers incorporates seasonal ingredients to put her own unique stamp on Mexican classics (don't pass up the trout pozole), and specializes in eye-openingly (and sometimes eye-wateringly) inventive salsas. A small but mighty lunch menu is served most days via the kitchen window, and the smoky molé-drenched rotisserie chicken dinner can be ordered daily by noon for evening takeout.

This modern cantina offers a modern take on Mexican food. The trout pozole was fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere was intimate, friendly and comfortable. The back patio, when weather permits, is large and a lovely place to relax during a night out.

There’s so much to love about this airy, elegant Division Street cantina, where bright splashes of color against white walls set the stage for the kitchen’s beautiful, fiercely seasonal, locally-sourced take on traditional Mexican food. Get the salsas & guac to start, the trout pozole and/or enchiladas, and without hesitation, the Woodblock chocolate cake with passion fruit-chile ganache for dessert.
