Experience a Little Slice of Home in America’s Transient Capital
Described as “sorta South American”—Malik resists placing the delicacies in too tight of a field, as a substitute preferring to let the crew do its factor with out constrictions—Mercy Me’s forward-thinking menu traipses via Latin America and the Caribbean, melding flavors as fluidly as its foyer residence transitions from daytime hangout to night hotspot. Menu standouts embrace brilliant, citrus-spiked salads, roasted rooster wearing a wealthy house-made mole, and a killer vegetarian Tostada loaded with roasted eggplant, smoked mushrooms, jicama, and inexperienced mango slaw. “I’m not even vegetarian,” jokes government chef Samuel Diaz. “However I can’t get sufficient of it.”
Beverage program director Micah Wilder takes an analogous strategy to his facet of issues, pitting classics like Espresso Martinis, Gin and Tonics, and draft Negronis with funkier choices like a Mule dosed with Caribbean Scotch Bonnet peppers and an unstoppable frozen Miami Vice.
