Gallo Blanco Cafe

The Mexico City-style food at Gallo Blanco, the Clarendon?s in-house eatery, is casual and unpretentious, with dirt-cheap prices to match. What isn?t obvious until you taste it, though, is the thoughtful preparation and great ingredients that make it so addicting. Chef-owner Doug Robson?s big on local purveyors, and he doesn?t overlook the details that elevate the dining experience. From made-to-order tortillas to charred tomato Bloody Marys, everything gets a little extra oomph. Try the tender marinated pork cochinita ? served as a taco or a torta ? and don?t miss the inspired crepas con cajeta, crepes slathered in luscious caramel sauce, sliced bananas, and whipped crema fresca. You might eat yourself into a food coma, but hey, you can always check into the hotel if the mood strikes.
