Conejo 5 Course Tasting Dinner

In celebration of Mexican Independence Day and Lewis Ginter's exhibit Alebrijes: Creatures of a Dream World (through September 27), Chef Danny Mena will host a 5-course guided dinner featuring favorite modern Mexican dishes. In the 1930's new cuisine emerged in Mexico. Simultaneously Pedro Linares Lopez attracted attention for his fantastical Alebrijes artform. A guest from Lewis Ginter will join the dinner and share notes about this exciting show featuring artists from Mexico City.

Born and raised in Mexico City, Danny Mena is a partner at Conejo and the chef behind our menu. He has a wealth of knowledge about agave spirits and Mexican cuisine and culture which he shares in his cookbook, MADE IN MEXICO.
