We are busy working on our next gastronomic event. Stay tuned for details.

menu crafting
We spent the weekend fine-tuning the menu and we think we’re on the road to something yummy. First up, a ceviche that combines fat slices of mero (grouper) with fresh-made coconut cream and chunks of juicy in-season pink grapefruit. Not only pretty to look at, we really enjoyed taste testing this one. Add to that [...]
we’re back with an exclusive private dinner event!
Long time no see! We have been searching high and low for a new venue and we found a great one for dinner. We’ve been invited into the colonial home of an artist living in central Mérida to cook a private dinner for a lucky few. As well as enjoying a great meal, you’ll get [...]
A brunch with no home
Regrettably, we must skip the remixto brunch this month. The owner of Casa Mexilio, our current venue, has decided to use the space for other purposes and so we are rendered homeless. Hopefully we’ll find a new venue soon so that we may return with more yummy dishes to explore. As we search, we are taking the opportunity [...]
Another brunch done
This is getting to be a regular thing. Our third remixto brunch was a hit. The pink mimosas flowed and the croque señora was a hit. Thanks to our friend Eric at In The Yucatan for shooting some video of the event (see below), and to Yesenia over at Girl Friday Mérida for lending a [...]
Bacon Candy
At our first brunch back in May, we served bacon, candied with piloncillo and chipotle chilies. It was a little experiment that turned out to be quite popular, so much so that we were lovingly scolded for not returning it to the menu for our last brunch. Well it’s back, this time in the form [...]
It’s like clockwork
Every month we set a schedule for how brunch will come together in the form of yummy morsels for our guests to enjoy. This month is no different. Last weekend, we finished testing our dishes and finalized the menu, yesterday we made a plan, and today a shopping list. At t-minus five days, our kitchen [...]
So what’ll it be?
Something’s up this month. Just one week after we sent out the announcement for this month’s brunch, we’re completely booked. Not that we’re complaining. It’s nice to know we’re loved. Freed from the chore of reservation taking, we can return our attentions to the final week of prep. We have some chipotle salsa to play [...]
Brunch July 25 – Order Up!
On Sunday, July 25, we’re returning to serve up mouthwatering brunch classics infused with modern Mexican flavor. This month’s menu will feature a croque señora (our twist on the French classic), the chef’s special chipotle chilaquiles (we guarantee it ain’t anything like your local cocina economica’s sloppy version) and gooey piña pop tarts, baked in [...]
Table for two at Costco?
Three times this week we’ve eaten in a nice restaurant and in every case we spotted a disturbing trend. Every main dish arrived garnished with cherry tomatoes. The same, plastic-looking cherry tomatoes. As it’s not tomato season in the Yucatan, we can safely assume that none of these products was grown locally, let alone regionally. [...]
