WHEN IT'S GONE,
IT'S GONE

  • TOMAHAWK CARNE ASADA

    Black Onyx tomahawk, grilled and thin-sliced, with sauces and every condiment that earns its place.

  • TAJIMA WAGYU TACOS

    Marble score 9+ — the top of the Australian grading scale. Fat woven so finely it renders on the plancha.

  • BEEF CHEEKS

    The cut most kitchens throw away, cooked low and slow. Tomatillo, cactus salsa, tortillas off the comal.

  • BAJA BLUEFIN CEVICHE

    Bluefin tuna from Baja California in clam and tomato juice with salsas negras. Cold, briny, smoky.

  • SOFT SHELL CRAB TACO

    Tempura'd till golden and reckless. Deep fried, no apologies.

  • SANCHOKU WAGYU STRIPLOIN

    MS8–9, folded large, hit with chile de árbol salsa.
