Cecile and I had Sunday Brunch at Zazil Cocina Mexicana. Nestled in Santana Row, Zazil offers a warm tropical ambiance and beautifully presented plates celebrating traditional dishes from across Mexico.
We shared Omelette de Rajas Poblanas—roasted poblano chiles onions, and creamy black bean sauce topped with queso fresco, grilled jalapeños, and enchiladas. We also shared the Enchiladas Mañaneras—scrambled eggs with tomatoes, jalapeños, chicken, and a touch of fruity mole, served with crema fresca, black beans, and warm corn tortillas.
The name Zazil, meaning Clear, Light, Clarity in Yucatec Maya, reflects its cultural roots and connection to nature. As we left, we admired their colorful Día de los Muertos altar—a beautiful tribute to tradition and remembrance of friends and family members who have passed on which is celebrated on Nov 1-2.
