With its ever-changing menu, a dedication to using market-fresh ingredients and creative inspirations from chef and owner Suzana Davila, Café Poca Cosa is a destination experience. It's a beautifully dressed restaurant serving first-rate Mexican food that's clever without being coy, modern yet deeply traditional and savory with a hint of sweetness. The menu changes daily---sometimes twice a day. It’s all written on portable chalkboards and described in detail by the servers. There’s always a beef dish, a pork dish, a vegetable dish and several chicken dishes. Make it easy on yourself, and pick the plato Poca Cosa, a three-item combination plate of Davila's choosing. If you’re in luck, you’ll get one of the famous Poca Cosa moles, richly layered sauces of chocolate, peanuts, coffee liquor and other savory ingredients, slow-cooked with tender meat. Every meal comes with a salad, rice, beans and warm tortillas to share. And while there is a nice wine list, the margaritas are creative and definitely the way to go.

Cafe Poca Cosa so dark you can't see your food
by qualgal on 03/23/2009
 
:( We had to wait 15 minutes from being seated to seeing our waitress. Ten minutes later our drinks arrived. Frozen margaritas were only average. Another ten minutes for someone to take our order. Then the sun went down, and it was so dark in the seats along the back of the restaurant that we literally could not see our food. There was something on top of my chicken, which when I cut it up and tasted it was a green chili, but you couldn't see it. My chicken was tough and tasteless.
