About
Located in chic new Hotel Cacao, Nibs has an exciting and innovative menu that taps the abundance of fresh, indigenous ingredients of the region and reinvents favorite Mexican dishes, from Cuitlacoche Quesadillas and Sea Scallop Tiradito to Local Lobster Pozole Broth and Pibil Suckling Pig. The chef, Alejandro Cuatepotzo, is a protege of Enrique Olvera, Mexicos most famous chef; Chef Cuatepotzo was chef de cuisine at Hotel Matildas Moxi restaurant, which is operated by Chef Olvera. The areas tropical ambience is re-imagined in Nibs where guests dine in an open-air atrium amid an original jungle mural by international Brazilian street artist Eduardo Kobra, a flowing water wall, and banana and passion fruit plants. In stark contrast to the colorful tropical atmosphere, Namuh-designed walnut tables and chairs with Italian carrera marbletops are accented by simple white linens and china. The restaurants name reinforces the chocolate theme of Hotel Cacao: Nibs are unsweetened chocolate chips, created when cacao beans are crushed in the chocolate-making process.
