José

A vibrant, splashy modern Mexican spot that channels the food and atmosphere of Guadalajara. The plates are as pretty as the decor, full of painted tiles and a wraparound bar. Highlights include seasonal aguachiles, the velvety aged mole, and ever-changing “tacos de Tacha,” a special bearing the childhood nickname of chef Anastacia Quiñones-Pittman (“AQ”). Some of the other dishes are kept simple for the Park Cities clientele, and the cocktail program softens tequila or mezcal with added sweetness.
