A downtown restaurant pairing modern Mexican cooking with a striking, light-filled room — chef Philip Speer (a James Beard winner with a pastry pedigree) and Gabe Erales run a menu that moves between refined and rustic with confidence. The duck carnitas and the masa dishes anchor it; the cocktail and mezcal programs are serious. Polished without losing its soul. For modern Mexican fine dining in one of downtown Austin's best-looking rooms.
