The food was delicious! 🤤 the space is lovely ☺️

Alchemy - Choose Thy Poison is a restaurant that offers a unique and delightful dining experience. The menu features flavorful dishes, with the lamb tetelas and zarandeado being standouts. The corn masa dumplings, known as tételas, are a must-try with their perfectly seasoned flavor and delightful texture. The restaurant has a cozy and intimate atmosphere, with kind and knowledgeable owners/chefs who are passionate about their work. Free parking is available nearby, and reservations are recommended for larger parties or busy nights. The patio is beautiful and offers heaters for comfort. The brunch menu is also available for those looking to try it. The food was amazing, with the perfect amount of seasoning and spice, and the cocktails are heavy on the alcohol pours, leaving guests feeling good. Although the menu is small, it is mighty and delicious, and everything served is outstanding. The restaurant showcases the best of Logan Heights, and the food quality surpasses that of some fine dining spots in more pricy areas like San Diego’s East Village. The owner and executive chef, Eddie, is a wealth of knowledge on local and culinary lore. The tetelas de cordero, braseado, tres leches cake, and Nutella cheesecake leave visitors eager to return. Overall, Alchemy - Choose Thy Poison is a special place that offers delicious and unique food in a welcoming environment.
