Ever since @CiaoBob posted about Mirame I’ve been hoping to make it over there and finally did last week. We had a great time hanging out in Beverly Hills for an evening, as that is not the norm.
Not many pictures as the lighting wasn’t great and we were all ready to eat anyway.
Mirame is a study in textures. Mouse melon, galangal sorbet, black garlic, white jelly mushroom. So many dishes were more than notes and chords but full on songs. Overall like a concept album.
I had a cocktail and a pour of bacanora which were both great. Robust liquor selection from Mexico, including a few corn whiskeys.
Top to bottom we had:
Salmon Skin Chicarones - fermented garlic aioli
Just delicious. And the black garlic 
Masa Gnocchi - grilled sardines, baby corn, grilled peach, saba, corn nuts, pippin
A little tart and punchy underneath everything, I’m guessing from the pippin apple.
Glazed Lettuce Stem - ogo salsa roja, guajes, xo sauce
Earthy and smoky. I love chewing on stems and roots.
Smashed Avocado and Salsa Trio
Served with tostada shells. Kinda bothered me but that’s because I love going to town on a basket of chips.
CEVICHES
Pacifico Striped Bass - nopal aguachile granita, sea beans, avocado, mouse melon
Gifts of the Sea - shima-aji, crab, uni, scallops, tomato gelee, galangal sorbet
This almost could have been boring because it’s just a bunch of delicious things in a bowl but that quenelle of galangal sorbet mixed with the tomato gelee was complimented so well by the greens
TOSTADAS
Omega Blue Kampachi - avocado, white jelly mushroom, preserved grapefruit, mexi-kosho
Dungeness crab and Pork Terrine - corn, avocado, ikura, salsa macha
Just perfect. The pork terrine was so subtle yet assertive. I was skeptical of this dish but am glad we ordered it.
TACOS
Crispy Pork Belly - Szechuan eggplant, strawberry-tomatillo pico, peanuts
Smoked Yellowtail Tacos Dorados - potato & creme fraiche, nopal gribiche
Disappeared before I could try it.
SEGUIMOS
Grilled 35oz Prime Cote de Boeuf - melted leeks, fermented garlic, embers oil
Return of the black garlic!! a dish like this had better be good and it for sure was.
Whole Fried Baja Snapper - chili chintextle, masa jus, tomatillo milpero
Delicious. At this point in the meal I didn’t feel like deboning a fish. Fall apart tender of course but still had to be wary of bones. I’d order this again 100% though. That masa jus soaked into the fish like water into a sponge. The server laughed because he said most people just kinda pick at the fish and don’t really know what to do.
SWEETS
Strawberry - spice cream, tamarind, strawberry goat gelato
delicious but not something I’d order.
Mezcal Flan - nixtamalized papaya, amaranth sesame cacao soil
Great but it’d better be great. Wish there was more of the papaya.
Pineapple Miso Brûlée - jalapeno-nopal sorbet
Not pictured. Kinda missed the mark. The jalapeño-nopal sorbet though I would buy pints of.
Punkin - goat cajeta, calabaza en Tacha, cafe
The cake was a little dense for my liking but the coffee ice cream was stellar.
I had to laugh because after watching multiple tables turn super fast and mentioning it to our server, he said it was nice to see some people just attack the menu and not get hung up with so many questions. This one 12-top birthday party split into two six tops was in-n-out in ~80 minutes and the server was like wow they’re done already!?
