Mixtli

MEESH-LEE, MIX-TLI / has the variant form MEX-TLI: Aztec spoken word for cloud.

The Cloud

To define Mexican cuisine is impossible. Mexico is as diverse as it is vast. Within its borders lie rocky mountains, humid jungles, arid deserts, and endless coasts: a stark diversity that forced each region to develop uniquely rich cultural and culinary histories.

Like clouds, our menu travels from place to place offering a tour in Mexican gastronomy. If the state has a border with the ocean, we start our trek on the coast and work inland, bringing dishes specifically from that region or state. After each season, the cloud travels to other lands and we begin again.

It is our mission that you fall in love with Mexico.

Our current menu: Pueblos Magicos

The written history of Mexico spans more than three millennia. First populated more than 13,000 years ago, central and southern Mexico saw the rise and fall of complex indigenous civilizations. Empires came and went, and Mexico would later develop into a unique, multicultural society. Within its 32 states lie a plethora of individual microcosms of culture, traditions, and, most importantly, food. These are called “pueblos mágicos,” or magical towns. Mexico’s federal government has designated 177 towns throughout the republic as “pueblos mágicos.” They’re carefully selected by a simple set of rules: They must posses cultural richness, as well as historically relevant cuisine, arts, crafts, and hospitality. Join us as we explore them!
