Description

Summary: Dark walls and bright art set a lively tone for inventive tasting menus that elevate heritage dishes

Californios presents a festive, art-filled interior where heritage is honored through precise technique. The dark walls and lively playlist create a celebratory mood, while the patio offers a pleasant retreat. Dishes transform familiar flavors into intricate, delicious creations, such as lime cured hamachi with lime aguachile and pickled buddha's hand, and beer- and mezcal-battered cod with a sour cherry tamarind salsa. A refined, intimate setting meets inventive tasting experiences and small-batch wines.
