Where Mexican sushi and Mexican pasta fit
Mexican sushi means rolls built with Mexican-style ingredients such as shrimp, avocado, mango, cream cheese, crunch and chile-citrus sauces. Mexican pasta covers home-style noodle dishes such as sopa seca and creamy poblano espagueti verde. Owner Sebastian Valencia has said the restaurant is adding Mexican sushi, and neither sushi nor pasta is on the April 2026 printed menu, so ask the team what the kitchen is featuring.
