La Casona del Granjero

La Casona del Granjero is a Mexican restaurant, serving traditional fare, but many dishes have been designed by the chef and are unique to this one place. Examples are the pumkin flower-filled squid served with chili sauce, and the fish fillet served in an epazote-leaf as if it were a tamale. (Epazote is a strong herb, slightly bitter with a vague lemon taste, used by the Aztecs for culinary and medicinal purposes.) Tequila snobs will be in paradise, as the restaurant offers dozens of different types, including some of the most rare varieties. A "granjero" is a farmer, and the restaurant is outfitted with a farm theme - straw bales, horseshoes and a loft.
