The Cuisine
The menu inspired by legendary Carlos Santana, is a regional exploration of Mexican dishes presented with a modern flair. The nuevo Mexican cuisine created by Chef Roberto Santibañez features traditional dishes with an innovative approach. Expect such surprises as slow braised duck tacos covered with a roasted tomato habanero cream sauce; grilled salmon filet served with a sauce that’s both sweet and hot; and savory ancho chiles stuffed with roasted zucchini, red onions, potatoes and wild mushrooms served over melted cheese and a roasted tomato chipotle sauce.

The menu brings magic to cooked and uncooked sauces and salsas like delicious mahogany-hued guajilo-pineapple-cinnamon sauce. There are fork-tender meats prepared with chiles, garlic, and spices used as marinades which make chicken and grilled meats melt in your mouth.

Both Santana and Santibañez are committed to simplifying the complexities of their native cuisine, while sharing their fascination with its multicultural currents.
