Cempazuchi
1205 E. Brady St.

A longstanding staple to Brady Street's ever changing shopping and eating district, Cempazuchi combines regional art and authentic food for a true Mexican experience.

The menu embraces regional specialties, and while they offer the common American choices like tacos and quesadillas, they cross into true authenticity with attention to traditional ingredients and preparations. Daily changing margaritas, moles from Oaxaca, corn masa cakes and two style of tamales replicate Mexican tradition.

Menu: Mexican

Price: Moderate.

When to go: Open daily at 11:30 a.m., Cempazuchi is a great place to grab a business lunch or lounge over drinks for the afternoon. Dinner hours on the weekends can get busy but sit back and enjoy a touch of tequila at the bar.

Dress: Cempazuchi walks the fine line of both casual and dressy. Feel free to dress it up or sit down in jeans and t-shirts.

Don't miss: Cempazuchi's house made salsas and chips are addicting but save room for Sopa Azteca and guacamole starters. Move on to Los Siete Moles de Oaxaca or Tacos de Tio Isreael. Finish with Tres Leches.

Parking: Sadly, street parking is the only thing available. Look a few blocks west on Brady Street and typically you'll find open meter spaces.
