Café Poca Cosa

Frommer's Review

The cuisine served at this stylish downtown restaurant is the creation of owner/chef Suzana Davila and has been compared to the dishes dreamed up in Like Water for Chocolate. Although ostensibly Mexican, this food is not just any Mexican food; it's imaginative and different and is served in a bold and angular space that belies the location on the ground floor of a parking garage. Expect such creations as grilled beef with a jalapeño chili and tomatillo sauce, and chicken with a dark mole sauce made with Kahlúa, chocolate, almonds, and chilies. The menu is posted on portable blackboards, so you never know what you might find on any given day. However, I always opt for the plato Poca Cosa, a trio of dishes chosen by the chef. This lively restaurant is an excellent value.
