"We like to think we've taken the traditions of Mexico and packaged them to offer a sophisticated NYC restaurant experience that maintains the festive roots of Mexican Culture. When we visited some authentic pulquerias in Mexico City, we had no idea how divey they were going to be. The pulquerias in the safer and cleaner parts of the city are more festive and colorful. Really it's the vibrancy of the people and colors around the markets in Mexico that inspired the design."
