The kind words we’ve received about our Mexico City 1491 menu have inspired us to keep those dishes on the menu a little longer (they’ll be around until March 29th). But we couldn’t help adding a few new things here and there. Our winter salad (yes, it’s still winter here) pairs silky scallops with rich dollops of avocado and crispy shards of carne seca (dried beef); our new lamb dish makes good use of chef Andres’s lamb porchetta; and we’ve not one, not two but three new desserts on the menu, including one topped with a geranium from Rick’s garden—a subtle hint that spring might finally be on its way.
