    At the midpoint of the tour, our venue will be a newish, upscale Baja-inspired restaurant, with an airy and sophisticated late mid-century vibe.

    45m
    Our tour will finish at a restaurant described by its owners as the 'moody sister' of their other Michelin recommended restaurant. The design is sophisticated, and the food is every bit as good as its better-known sister's. The menu offers elevated Latin and Jalisco-style Mexican cuisine. We'll sample their flights of vividly-hued craft margaritas, followed by beautifully presented dessert selections. Instagram worthy? Absolutely!
