Description

Summary: Inventive Mexican eats in a chic ambiance.

Alma Cocina stands out in the heart of downtown, offering a modern twist on Mexican cuisine. Inside a skyscraper's lobby, the restaurant boasts a unique faux patio and a dimly lit dining area adorned with a taxidermied steer head. The kitchen, visible through amber glass, is a flurry of activity as chefs prepare inventive dishes. Patrons can enjoy anything from a casual drink and snack to a full meal, with options like huitlacoche empanadas, various ceviches, and chicken mole Oaxaca. Desserts, crafted by executive pastry chef Eric Wolitzky, draw inspiration from classic Mexican sweets, including tres leches cake and churros with multiple sauces. Alma Cocina is also recognized for its extensive collection of fine tequilas and a wine list featuring selections from Spain, France, and Spanish America. The restaurant's happy hour, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. on weekdays, provides an ideal respite from the bustle of the city.
