A couple of nights ago, we attended the media preview for Oyamel‘s Day Of The Dead menu, which runs from October 22nd Through November 2nd.

Oyamel knows how to throw a party, so the food and drink were of course excellent. My favorite drink of the evening was the Marigold, which contains Del Maguey Mezcal Vida, White Crema de Cocoa, lemon juice, and D’Artisti Mayan Liqueur. You also can’t pass up the Zombie Apocalypse (Azul Centenario Blanco, Sailor Jerry Rum, papaya, coconut, and honey)–who could?

We were also served guacamole, salsa, and chips, which are always good at Oyamel. We very much enjoyed the appetizers, including:

Carne Apache de Corazon de Venado (The venison tar tar was a standout dish, and was my second favorite dish of the evening.)

Tamal Mukbil (This rabbit tamale was my favorite dish of he evening.)

Taco Deamote y Pozole (Sweet potato tacos with peanut mole!)

Taco de Mollejas de Pollo (These tacos filled with fried chicken livers were tasty.)

Hurry, because the Day of the Dead menu is only available for a short time. After November 2nd, no Zombie Apocolypse for you!
