In Short
Walls splashed with bright pink, orange and brown attempt to recreate the feel of the namesake painter's work. A mural and pictures of Kahlo drive the point home. The menu, on the other hand, is all about homey classics, with appealing starters like pomegranate-topped guacamole and a wide array of tamales. Epazote-scented enchiladas in black bean sauce, chicken simmered in peanut and chile seco sauce and a mocajete of meats are signature dishes.
