Bienvenidos a casa
We've been pouring micheladas and lighting the comal since 2004.
In 2004 we opened a small kitchen on Fredericksburg Road with a comal, a stack of tortillas, and a list of recipes our grandmother had been refining in Jalisco for half a century.
Twenty years later, the room is louder, the parrilladas are heavier, and the regulars have brought their grandchildren. The karaoke starts at nine. The menudo is gone by noon on Sunday. Nothing has changed.
