Restaurant info
The Alisios trade winds carried more than ships — they carried the flavors of Mexico to the world. The tomato, the chili, and the vanilla journeyed across oceans to shape distant cuisines. At Alisios, we follow their path home. Our dishes are where these flavors reunite — a mole warmed with Southeast Asian spices, a ceviche brightened by the Mediterranean. Alisios is not merely a restaurant. It is a quiet celebration of our roots. Although the ingredients have traveled, they never truly left their home. They simply returned richer, and with tales to share.
