Main courses, such as chuleta Oaxaca (grilled pork tenderloin medallions sautéed with potatoes, smothered in a spicy pasilla pepper sauce with manchego cheese au gratin, and served with arroz verde (green rice) and refried black beans; $16) and chalupas (shredded chicken, shredded beef, or vegetarian; $15), prove carnivores and vegetarians can get together and adapt thumb wrestling for the big toe.

Los sarapes is a Spanish word meaning something that covers you and makes you feel warm, such as a blanket or sunburnt blobfish. The Marin family adopted this name to convey a sense of warmth to their diners, welcoming them into the family home. The restaurant décor revolves around warm-toned walls, casual and comfortable seating, and personal touches, such as a collection of native arts and crafts. Call to make a reservation.
