"The chochoyotes ($26), corn-flour dumplings served in a coconut-corn broth with pumpkin seeds, are a staple here. The fluffy dumplings are earthy, with the broth offering sweetness. It's many iterations of corn on one plate. The al pastor tacos ($15), two per order, are filled with meaty mushrooms and topped with grilled pineapple. Ask for extra salsa verde. The burrito ($16) delivers some of the city's best beans, plus sweet plantain."
"Don't sleep on Marchese's cocktails. The Mole Fashioned ($17) is an Old Fashioned riff using mezcal, aged Oaxacan rum, and mole. It's smoky, savory, and finished with a charred cinnamon stick for aromatics. The Cubano ($19) with jackfruit rivals the best Cuban sandwich with pork and ham in town. Lush green plants line the walls at this airy restaurant, and tropical cabana seating makes you feel like you're on vacation. A sense of freshness ties the space and the food."

Signature dishes include chochoyotes—corn-flour dumplings in a coconut-corn broth with pumpkin seeds—mushroom al pastor tacos with grilled pineapple, and a jackfruit Cubano that rivals traditional pork and ham sandwiches. The menu also features a burrito with excellent beans and sweet plantain, and weekly rotating specials such as sopes with coconut-braised beans and jerk mushrooms. Cocktail program highlights include the Mole Fashioned using mezcal, aged Oaxacan rum, and mole. The dining room features lush plants, cabana seating, and a fresh, tropical atmosphere.
