La Taquería, A frame Cantina with Chef Michael Barrera
Chef Michael Barerra has single-handedly turned up the heat in the frame kitchen with his recent wildly popular dinners curated with flavors close to his heart and heritage. His Argentine Asado with beef tres ways, his perfect plates of Mole Oaxaqueno for our Dia de Los Muertos Party and his upcoming Killer-Tamale Workshop promising some serious Abuela knowledge. Up next: he’s working his Mexican heritage into the fold with a traditional Taqueria, frame style. Tacos for Days, Margaritas. Tequilla Shots. Pan Dulce. Let’s welcome each other around the table.
