corima

My friend Tony and I sat at chef’s counter at corima and indulged in their tasting menu, which was incredibly reasonable for a michelin star place.

Each dish was a mixed inspiration of northern Mexican and asian. Our waiter told me the chef sources a lot from neighboring China town, and spent time cooking in Singapore.

My favorites were the branzino & pinenut pork. I also loved the recado negro butter that was served with sourdough wheat tortillas with the main dish. Every dish filled with a blend of complimentary colliding spices that made each dish an adventure in taste.

The tasting menu had seven rounds, and left us both filled, not stuffed. I’d have to say one of the best bargains at $110 I’ve found in the city, definitely a place I’ll be headed back to.
