Happy National Taco Day ๐ฎ
We take this holiday very seriously.
Chili Shrimp Tacos are kung pao sauce, chili crisp, peanuts, radishes, cilantro. Bold, crunchy, a little wild.
The Lebanese Spiced Carnitas Tacos are shaved lettuce, red onions, tomatoes, serrano labneh. Where Mexico City meets Beirut and somehow it just works.
Two tacos. Two passports. One very good reason to show up today.
Everyone calm down... OR NOT
Fall cocktails are officially here and yes, the Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice frozen cocktail made the cut.
Cold brew. Pumpkin. Kahlรบa. A little vodka for good measure. Whipped cream and a dusting of pumpkin spice on top.
It`s dessert. It`s a drink. It`s the entire month of October in one glass.
Japan is winding to a close โ๏ธ๐ถ
Come taste it one last time before the menu shifts, precision, umami, and dishes you won`t find here again for a while.
And the next stop? See if you can guess.
