Best Contemporary Mexican Restaurants in Hampden

Ambiance was nothing special. We loved the wild mushrooms and the sweet potato and tostada with sea bass were special. The scallops were tiny and not good 😌 Also the room is noisy. If we go back, we may book to sit at the bar. That would be interesting.

Amazing, creative, and authentic food. My wife and I sat at the bar / chef's counter which was great because we got to chat with our chef the whole time and get cool insight into all the dishes and watch them make everything. We tried the Barriga De Cerdo, Pescadilla De Marlin, and taco de cola de res, which were all delicious and would get again but our favorite dish was the Tostada de toro, it was so good we got another order instead of desert. You have to try at least a 1oz pour of mezcal too even if you're not a big mezcal fan. I forgot the name of the exact mezcal we had but they have an expert on staff that will recommend something for you, for us it was a "good beginners" mezcal. The mezcal was really good but the best part of it was what they serve the mezcal with.... I won't ruin the surprise on what it is but definitely worth trying for the experience and we found it to be surprising delicious.

The staff went out of their way to make us feel extremely welcome and invited us back to their reopening after remodel. If you have a chance to grab their brunch before they close for remodel, do so! Manny was a tremendous server. Seek him out if you can.

The food was amazing and Claire was great with her recommendations. We had lunch and the portion was spot on. Highly recommended!!

Food is good, margs were great, hard to hear my table mate for the loud music… it’s like a loud bar….loved the Valentine’s Day special and appreciate everyone who was working that night
