About Tahona Bar

Tahona Bar is a tapas bar that offers a delightful dining experience with high-quality ingredients. The food is praised for its exceptional quality, featuring standout dishes like guacamole, wagyu tostada, quesabirria, carne asada tacos, corn croquettes, and the favorite birria taco. The service is friendly and attentive, with welcoming staff providing excellent recommendations and catering to individual preferences. Many customers appreciate the reasonable prices and charming atmosphere, often returning for dinner multiple nights in a row. The ambiance is perfect for people-watching, especially with the option to dine outdoors.

Chef Villareal's creative twist on classic Mexican recipes, such as the broth or type of kernels used in the pozole, the huitlacoche mixed with the risotto for the steak huarache, or the cauliflower with mole taco, creates a banquet of the senses. The house-made tortillas and the largest stock of mezcal and tequila make Tahona a haven for enthusiasts. The drinks are delicious, and the tapas, although small, are flavorful and filling. The cozy and welcoming vibe, with a nod to the area's history, and the live music on Sundays enhance the overall experience, making it an ideal place for events or casual dining. Customers also enjoy the unique speakeasy experience with excellent cocktails, and praise the hard-working bar manager and GM for their attentiveness on busy nights.
