I’d been wanting to make this tostada for a while. The idea was simple: something fresh, light, but with a lot of flavor.
Blue crab, red onion, cucumber and avocado over a crispy tostada with spicy aioli, finished with salsa macha oil.
It’s simple on paper, but there’s a lot going on in every bite.

I grew up with these two.
Huichol and Guacamaya were always around, and to this day they’re still two of my favorites, especially with ceviche.
This weekend, a couple came in to eat at Celestino. Later, they came looking for me and told me something that made me smile.

They weren’t sure about eating seafood in a place up in the mountains… but when they walked in and saw Huichol and Guacamaya on the table, they knew the food was going to be good.
Funny how two little bottles can say so much.

This little chiltepín aka “the mother of all peppers” takes me back to the flavors I grew up with, the kind of heat that isn’t just spicy, but full of character.

Seeing chiltepín growing very close from Idyllwild, in the garden of someone I know, feels pretty special. 🌶️

Chiltepín, serrano & ají amarillo. 🌶️
Three chiles come together in our Aguachile Tostada, bringing just the right heat and flavor to fresh shrimp. Bright, citrus and spicy.
The kind of flavors that take me back to my childhood and remind me where I come from.

Parrot fish, colorful, a little strange, and absolutely beautiful.

This taco was never part of the plan. It started as a slightly crazy idea: octopus wrapped in roasted poblano, covered in a crispy Oaxaca cheese crust, and served as a taco. It was difficult to explain, we tried it once, made a couple of changes, tried the second time, and after the first bite, no explanation was needed.
Our Octopus Chile Relleno Taco has become one of the most popular specials.
Should we bring it back? 🐙🫑🧀
