Experiences

Mexico Ancestral @Junction
Multiple dates available
Come experience the magic of ancient Mexican dishes at our limited-time-only, pop-up restaurant led by Junction staff cook, Chef Diego. The menu represents a style of Mexican cooking that incorporates the meticulous preparation and refined techniques of haute cuisine with traditional Mexican ingredients and flavors. The dishes are flavorful but not spicy; but for those that like it hot, ask for the house salsa.

Each wine is perfectly complemented by a paired, A La Carte Tapa Menu crafted by Junction Owner & Executive Chef Nick Holguin. 🐟 Ceviche - Fresh halibut, cucumber, tomato, red onion, avocado, capers, serrano chile on a house-made tortilla tostada 🍢 Montadito de Paté de Pollo y Queso Brie - House chicken paté with pistachios, brie cheese, pickled onions on grilled La Brea baguette slices 🍖 Costillas a la Parrilla – Grilled pork ribs, house barbecue sauce, lime vinaigrette slaw 🥘 Moroccan Paella for Two: Chicken, shrimp, dried fruit, nuts, lemon zest, cilantro, Valencia rice, house saffron chicken bone stock Our full dinner menu will also be available. 💥 Love Stiekema wine? Buy one bottle and get the second half-off! And, if you can’t make the Tapeo, this special will be available every Thursday during the month of May; on Mondays, the special is available by the glass: buy one, get the second half-off. Reserve now to enjoy the Tapeo Tasting for $25. ($30 with a Standard Reservation or for Walk-ins) 🍷🔥 ¡Nos vemos en el Tapeo!

Food was very good with excellent flavors. However the weak service (serving two dishes prior to bringing out the wine was only one of several misses). Would not recommend at the current prices until the service issues are resolved.

Had another good night at Junction. Appetizers included the Pulpo, Bravas, Empanadas and all were very good. Nice bottle of Alberino. Server seemed to be a little distracted, wasn't great. Value good for a restaurant in California wine country.

Loved the pop-up menu. We look forward to trying their tapas menu. Was a big fan of the sauces, soup and ribs. The meat dishes were beautifully prepared and our server suggested a wine that complimented our whole meal. Well done, everyone!!!

Just passing through town for one night. It was a Monday night and decided to give it a try. Food was on point, Paella was what paella should be, We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and loved the ambiance. We will definitely go back.
