FINAL COURSE
Smoked Chocolate Mousse x CaliFino Sherry Cask Añejo
And then we slow everything down.
After four savory courses, four cocktail pairings and a journey through CaliFino's tequila expressions, there is no elaborate cocktail finale.

There doesn't need to be.

Chef Bryan's smoked dark chocolate mousse closes the menu alongside CaliFino Sherry Cask Añejo, served neat.

Chocolate Smoke, oak, agave, Sherry-cask richness.

A deliberately simple finish to a decidedly uncommon evening.
And now you've seen the entire progression:

Welcome Ranch Water -> Baja Shrimp -> Duck Carnitas -> Birria Short Rib -> Coffee-Rubbed Beef Tenderloin -> Smoked Chocolate Mousse.

Along the way: premium CaliFino tequila expressions, original cocktail pairings, guided tequila education and storytelling, an intimate speakeasy setting and a few surprises we're still keeping to ourselves.

All for $95 per guest

COURSE FOUR
Coffee-Rubbed Beef Tenderloin x CaliFino Extra Añejo x Midnight in Jalisco
Yes. That's beef tenderloin in a taco.
Course Four is the crescendo of the savory menu:
Coffee-and-ancho-rubbed beef tenderloin, grilled and sliced over roasted poblano crema with heirloom tomato
relish, crispy shallots, micro cilantro and queso añejo.
The featured expression steps up with it: CaliFino Extra Añejo.
And then comes Midnight in Jalisco - Extra Añejo, house fig syrup, fresh lemon, Amaro Montenegro and bitters. Dark fruit, mature agave, bittersweet botanicals, coffee, ancho and perfectly cooked beef.

This isn't four tacos and some drinks. It's a progression.

And tomorrow, we'll show you how it ends.

COURSE THREE
Birria Short Rib x CaliFino Añejo x Leyendas Family-Fashioned
Forget what you think you know about taco night.
Course Three begins with red wine and chile-braised beef short rib, Oaxaca cheese, consomme reduction,
pickled onion, cilantro and crispy shallots.
It's paired with CaliFino Añejo - and then the expression takes another form.
The Leyendas Family-Fashioned brings together Añejo, agave, chocolate bitters and orange bitters for a spirit-forward pairing built around the richness of the short rib.

That's the idea behind the entire evening:

Taste the food. Experience the tequila. Then discover what happens when they're deliberately brought
together.

Five courses. Premium CaliFino expressions. Original cocktail pairings. Guided storytelling. One intimate speakeasy experience.
$95 per guest - September 1 - Only 23 seats

COURSE TWO
Duck Carnitas x CaliFino Reposado x Golden Coyote
Course Two is where things get serious.
Slow-confited duck, crisped to perfection and layered with charred orange crema, pickled red onion, cotija, micro cilantro and fresh herbs.
Then comes the tequila.
CaliFino Reposado, followed by the Golden Coyote - Reposado, Amaro Nonino, hot honey, fresh lemon and orange bitters, finished with aromatic rosemary.
Chef-driven food. Premium tequila. A cocktail designed specifically for the plate.
All experienced as one course.

And there are still three to go.
