Mixiote Brings Slow-Cooked Mexican Meats to Oakland’s Plum Cocktail Bar - Eater SF

"Plum Cocktail Bar has booked its next guest chef residency: Alma Rodriguez of Mixiote, a La Cocina alum, will bring her Mexico City-style fare to the Uptown, Oakland space. Specifically, Rodriguez specializes in mixiotes, marinated meats wrapped in avocado and banana leaves and slowly cooked in their own juices. Given the setting, her residency menu will include some bar-appropriate snacky items, like fried potato-cheese cakes, guacamole, and fish tacos, but the highlight will be those mixiotes, served with black beans, nopales, pickles onions, and tortillas." - Janelle Bitker
