Went to Cariño last night and enjoyed the experience. Service was good, dishes were immaculately plated and overall were great (huitaloche ravioli, chicken liver taco dorado and the cooked fish dish in the tagine were standouts). I did think the mole sweetbread course was kind of a miss, but that is 100% personal preference and if you enjoyed it then I’m happy for you!
What I’m curious about is what folks through of the wine pairings? White wines were generally good but the reds really fell flat for me. Especially the natural red from Mexico paired with the lamb. I don’t mind natural wines but I couldn’t help feeling like I should have just done by the glass.
I would go back for taco omakase, but I’m on the fence about Cariño deserving a star.
