Ojo de Agua now also serves brunch on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The feature item is probably the oysters from Ensenada, including a special of oysters accompanied by miñonets—a type of vinaigrette similar to a pickle in which chives are fermented with a balsamic raspberry vinegar—and cucumbers. This is a featured recipe from Chef Ana Pereira. You can also try the salmon trout which comes from Zitácuaro, Michoacán. It’s cured in a combination of soy and mirin sauces, with a bit of orange juice. If you like meat, there is a dish called Picaña Prime, beef properly aged so that it is juicy inside. This dish is accompanied by a smoked cauliflower puree with meat sauce. You can follow the restaurant on social networks as Ojo de Agua Mexico.
