ABOUT ANAFRE
An anafre, meaning “portable oven” in Spanish, is traditionally a clay pot used to cook. The restaurant is an ode to chef/owner Alfredo Solis’ mother who grew up on the Mexican countryside where she cooked for the family. Since they lived without gas or electric, the anafre was their only stove. Anafre allows Chef Solis to further share the wonderful grandeur of Mexican cuisine, pulling inspiration from traditionally prepared dishes of Baja California, The Yucatán Peninsula, Acapulco and beyond with dishes like Queso fundido prepared on top of the grill in a plant leaf and slow-cooked Pollo a la brasa.
Heriberto Casasanero leads Anafre’s cocktail program showcasing 16 inventive cocktails influenced by different regions of Mexico. Standouts include Old Fashioned de Picante Mole and Piña Colada Viaja a Mexico, a take on the classic cocktail that includes mezcal in addition to rum, coconut cream, pineapple juice and Tajín Mexican seasoning.
