Eén ster: verfijnde keuken
There's something very personal about Xokol, from Chefs/owners Óscar Segundo and Xrysw Ruelas Diaz. All guests are seated at a communal table that seats just over 40, and a light smokiness from the wood-fire oven, plancha and comal gently scents the air in a space. Sip a house cocktail (their fermentation program produces some interesting offers) and nibble on a fresh tortilla with spicy salsa before enjoying the chefs' traditional Mexican food, available as an à la carte or as a tasting. Kombucha-cured kanpachi is tinted with red beets and blue spirulina for a visually arresting presentation, and corn is a highlight. Empalme de lechon is a standout with tender pork, sweet onions and mole verde, while pulque flan or strawberries with cream are the ideal finale.
"All the corn we use comes from the “milpa” - an agricultural system dating back centuries that involves the cultivation of more than three species; in other words, it is a polyculture. The *milpa* provides us with beans, squash, *chilacayotes*, broad beans, and *quelites*, among other crops. The corn is sown by us personally—by our families, who are part of the Mazahua community; fruits, vegetables, and various livestock also come from their homesteads."
