Mole, Tetelas, Tamales & Mezcal
Oaxaca’s heritage served in every bite and sip
with Renata Lira

Oaxaca is a state in southern Mexico, known for its rich indigenous traditions and vibrant food culture. Many claim Oaxaca has Mexico's best cuisine—a bold statement given the country's incredible diversity. Renata is inclined to agree, as it's her father's homeland and one of the deepest influences on her cooking.

Capturing its essence in one menu is a challenge, but a few staples are indispensable. Renata has chosen her favorite mole - a complex, layered sauce made from chiles, spices, nuts, and often chocolate - and lets the season decide the fruit for the tamales, which are corn dough parcels steamed in corn husks or banana leaves. The menu also features tetelas—triangle-shaped corn masa traditionally filled with beans or stews - here enriched with a local German artisan cheese.

The meal is accompanied by a courtesy mezcal pairing, offering a taste of Oaxaca’s signature spirit.

Menu:

  •  Mole coloradito with roasted chicken and vegetables
  •  Tetelas with beans & German artisan cheese
  •  Seasonal fruit tamales
  •  Courtesy mezcal pairing
