This is a restaurant with a very clear mission and identity: authentic Mexican food and drinks. Come here for centuries-old recipes that are expertly executed and then presented by friendly, helpful servers. While the focus is on authenticity, Los Deseos’ chefs and bar tenders do like to have a bit of fun. You can opt for a slow-cooked pork shank in salsa verde or something a little expected like rose petal quesadillas. And, you can always pair your meal with a cerveza or a margarita with sliced jalapeños bobbing inside. Come for a late lunch on the marina, and you can sip a cocktail as you wrap warm, handmade tortillas around decadent tequila-style melted cheese. Follow that must-have appetizer with a nopales salad and La Malinche: chicken breast stuffed with squash blossoms and cuitlacoche, a Mexican delicacy with a smoky sweet flavor that’s a cross between corn and mushroom.
