Visitors will also find Birria Cauliflower Steak Tacos with black beluga caviar lentil and cilantro lime crema. For dessert, there's Popover Churros served with dulce de leche and Mexican chili chocolate sauce.
Cocktails also tell a story of Mexico with each drink inspired by a cultural event, icon or landscapes that make up its rich culture. They include Mexi in the City, a take on a Cosmopolitan made with rum, beets grenadine, sage, lime, agave nectar with a prosecco top; Sergio Leone with tequila, amaro, thyme, chile de arbol syrup, lime juice, agave and egg whites; and Wrong Decision wit vodka, aloe liquor, basil, cucumber, poblano pepper syrup and lime.
