Rooted in ancient Aztec and indigenous Mexican traditions, Día de los Muertos is a vibrant celebration that honors the lives of those who have passed. Unlike many cultures that mourn death with sorrow, this festival embraces it as a natural part of life’s cycle—an occasion to remember, celebrate, and invite the spirits of loved ones back to the world of the living. Families build colorful altars, called ofrendas, adorned with marigolds, candles, sugar skulls, and favorite foods to guide and welcome the souls home.
Invite your friends and family to cross the veil for one night — to share in an evening where history, flavor, and spirit converge in a deeply meaningful celebration.
**MENU**
• Taco de Huachinango (snapper) a la talla – jicama slaw | preserved lemon
• Duck Confit Enchilada – cempasuchil sauce | pickled chayote | toasted pepita | chihuahua cheese
• Mushroom Stuffed Quail – braised collard greens | hibiscus mole
• Wagyu Flat Iron – mole negro | heirloom beans | verdolaga
• Pan de Muerto – pistachio cream | tascalate foam

After dinner join us at EDGE Rooftop Cocktail Bar and Lounge for a drink on us! As you sip, have your future revealed by our on-site tarot card reader — if you dare.
