Peerless owns Galla Park, a meat-and-potatoes-style American restaurant at The Banks, as well as a couple of nightclubs and restaurants in the state capital. For the companys first suburban restaurant, they went with what had been high on their wish list creative Mexican cuisine served in a lively, convivial setting on that prominent corner.
You wont find fajitas, burritos or quesadillas on the menu, and the cocktails are all made from fresh juices. They have tacos, to be sure, but otherwise the menu holds a few surprises.
While the apertivos (appetizers) menu section is minimal, beyond that youll find plenty to consider in sections describing soups and salads, ceviche, meats, veggies, seafood, tacos and a house specialty called molcajete. Molcajete is named after the large, black stone bowl in which a meat- or seafood-based concoction is served.
The restaurant is expansive, with a bustling front dining room that also contains a wraparound bar and a smaller back dining room. Colorful wall murals enhance the experience. The patio out front will seat dozens more in finer weather and theres a smaller enclosed courtyard out back that looks promising. Until those outdoor spaces open, youll have to sit inside in what is already the new it place in Hyde Park.
