Nobody ever stops at just one. And at La Vicenta, we know this so well that we’ve put together a selection of tacos that will make it hard to decide. Carne Asada al Carbón: the one that never disappoints On a blue corn tortilla, with guacamole, onion, cilantro, lime, and crispy potato. The classic you […]
They say we all have a favorite. We decided to give each one a name, color, and flavor. Welcome to the most honest shot collection on the menu: seven shots, seven sins, zero regrets. Lust: Mezcal Unión, cassis liqueur, and cranberry juice Intense from the first sip, with that dark and fruity touch that demands […]
Some believe dessert is optional. We believe it’s where the night is truly won or lost. The sure thing: Chewy Chenta A freshly baked, chewy chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream and salted caramel sauce. Warm on the outside, creamy on the inside. Hard to share, impossible to resist. The classic that never disappoints: […]
There are dishes that are promoted and dishes that simply stay with you. La Vicenta’s Fideo Seco (Dry Noodles) is one of the latter. It’s not the flashiest on the menu It’s not grilled, it doesn’t have an impressive cut, or a photo-worthy presentation. It’s noodles with bean sauce, panela cheese, avocado, pasilla chile, sour […]
Yes, we’re a grill house. But there are days when you crave something different, something fresh, something from the sea rather than the coals. For those days, we have the answer too. Aguachile New York: the one you didn’t expect to find here Green aguachile sauce, cherry tomatoes, spring onions, avocado, piquín-lime salsa, garlic chips, […]
Some cuts of meat arrive at the table without a sound. Others, however, change the conversation the moment they’re seen. These are the latter. Tomahawk: the triumphant starter 1.2 kilos of bone-in meat, served with potatoes, grilled spring onions, roasted chiles, and yellow corn. Designed to be shared, even if no one at the table […]
There was a time when the carajillo was simply “what you order at the end.” At La Vicenta, we decided it deserved to be much more than that. Coffee with attitude. The base never changes: coffee liqueur, perfectly poured over ice, that intense burst of flavor that awakens you after a good meal. But it […]
Choosing a drink shouldn’t be a surprise exam. Here’s a simple guide to ensure your drink and dish go perfectly together from the first bite. If you order something straight from the grill (flank steak, rib eye, ribs) Look for something with character that won’t be overpowered by the smoke: a whisky with a touch […]
Cooking with mesquite isn’t just a flavor choice; it’s almost a matter of physics. The wood burns differently than commercial charcoal: it releases its heat more slowly and consistently, allowing a thick cut of meat to cook evenly without drying out prematurely. Why Smoke Changes Flavor When fat drips from the meat onto the coals, […]
There’s something curious about food: the same dish can taste different depending on who you share it with. It’s not a coincidence or an exaggeration; eating has never been just an act of nourishment, but a way of being present with someone else. The Table as a Pretext How many important conversations have taken place […]
