Cuchara Menu Prices

Bistro serving creative Mexican food & cocktails in a setting brightened with whimsical paintings.

Cuchara, an authentic Mexico City bistro that opened its doors with an above and beyond Mexican independence party on September 15, 2012, occupies the corner space at Fairview and Taft. The 1940s brick building used to house The Hyde Park Supermarket.
The restaurant was conceived by Ana Beaven and Charlie McDaniel.
A collection of eye-catching murals by Mexico City artist Cecilia Beaven are presented throughout the interior and patio.
It has a modern, open aesthetic, which is juxtaposed with jolts of color and texture in the rainbow-hued plates and bowls, and rough-hewn half-aprons worn by waiters that reference the menu’s Mexico City origins.
The one kitchen in town run by women only, delivers delicious authentic dishes never seen in
