Crispy plantain, yucca and blue corn strips, paired with authentic salsas greets each guest. Hopefully, a welcome change from the ubiquitous tortilla chips and the first clue that Taberna Mexicana tries to do things a little differently.
       From the fresh corn and flour tortillas handmade throughout the day, to the 48-hour marinade of the Cochinita Pibil, every dish served has been made in house, from scratch. Only the freshest of seasonal ingredients sourced from farmers markets and local purveyors are used in the kitchen or find their way into the wood burning oven.
       One ingredient common to Mexican food that won’t be found is lard.
       Eschewed in favor of olive oil, the result is both healthier traditional dishes and a selection of lighter fare suitable for a quick lunch or late supper.
       Food with integrity, even self-respect. This is Taberna Mexicana’s commitment to the traditional cuisine of Mexico served at a level of quality and depth rarely seen beyond its borders.
