Experiences

Mexico Ancestral @Junction
Multiple dates available
Come experience the magic of ancient Mexican dishes at our limited-time-only, pop-up restaurant led by Junction staff cooks, chefs Fernando & Diego. The menu represents a style of Mexican cooking that incorporates the meticulous preparation and refined techniques of haute cuisine with traditional Mexican ingredients and flavors. The dishes are flavorful but not spicy; but for those that like it hot, ask for the house salsa. The menu features a variety of intricate mole sauces prepared in-house from scratch, hand made tamales, soup, salad, artisanal beverages and dessert options that offer a taste of ancestral Mexico.

We shared the paella with chicken and added shrimp and we both enjoyed it. The flavor from the chorizo and the overall spices gave it a unique taste. We also shared the Ensalada de Remolacha which had all of the components for my favorite salads: nuts (pistachios), Fruit (apple), cheese (goat cheese), beets and a citrus vinaigrette. I’d go back and have the same lunch again but just add a glass of sangria with it.

Being our first dining experience at Junction we ordered The Junction Paella & Octopus 2-ways. Both delicious! Looking forward to returning soon. Staff is professional & described the dishes (we asked about) very well.

Junction was a tad weird. I think they did a big lunch trade so were out of many tapas items when we arrived at 6 pm. But no bread? Very Odd. We had paella and an appetizer. The paella was OK. The beer and wine, both from Spain, were off the charts wonderful. I think I would try this place again for the beer and wine alone.

No so weird I believe you joined us after a very heavy weekend and we were out of a few things, we apologize for that, but someones we just run out of things. Hope to see you again.

We had a fantastic meal at Junction. We were seated immediately for our 7:30pm reservation and the service was very attentive. For 2 of us, we ordered the bread, patatas bravas, empanadas, the wagyu strip, and the shrimp. It was a lot of food, but it was all so good. A perfect place after a day of wine tasting. (About $100 w/o drinks.)

Cute place. Sat immediately at a 6 top table with three people. Paella was good, octopus ok and mussels terrible. Nice waitress.. service a bit slow. Not as impressed as I hoped.

This restaurant lacks identity. A tapa or two isn't enough to be a Spanish restaurant, and the paella was just okay. Pick your flavors: Spanish or Cuban.

In all fairness we describe our restaurant as Spanish inspired with Latin flavors.
