Dear Customers, old and new,
El Buen Café is once again a full-time restaurant, from 9am-9pm, Tuesday-Saturday. We’ll be featuring a seasonal menu that will change every three months. To enhance this experience, we’re planting a large organic garden with fruit trees and herbs, which will provide for the café as well as the cooking school. It’s a new era in the restaurant’s 28-year history.
In the summer, Mexico’s markets transform, just like the countryside, into places of exquisite abundance. Perusing the stalls, you’ll find buckets filled with just-picked squash blossoms and tuna in shades of yellow, plum, and scarlet. Pomegranates are piled onto tables, some split open to show their shimmering red seeds. Multi-colored cobs of corn roast over charcoal fires and chunks of huitlacoche, just cut from these same cobs, entice people who long for the season’s delicacies.
Our first menu features dishes derived from this natural bounty as well as old-time café favorites. Here’s a sampling:
Guacamole in the molcajete
Seared Cheese with Roasted Tomato-Poblano Salsa
Tortilla Soup
Squash Blossom Soup
Pear Salad with Candied Pecans
Chicken Curry Salad
Huitlacoche Quesadillas
Chiles en Nogada
Salmon with Mango-Chipotle Salsa
Grilled Vegetable Fajitas
Shrimp al Ajillo
Fried Chicken Tacos with Guacamole
Mole Enchiladas
….plus more
Please come and join us to bring in a new era.
