about
The Legend of Felix + The Key
A long time ago, a man named Félix fell in love with Ixchel – the mayan goddess of the moon, love, & textile arts. Félix won the key to her heart after passionately making offerings of food & libations from recipes passed down through generations of his Mexican ancestors. We honor Felix’s spirit through a pan-Mexican kitchen, a cuisine inspired from all seven regions of Mexico. We hope to inspire our guests with a taste of what can be accomplished with passionate ambition and love for Mexican cuisine.
