About Conejo
We are a Mexican restaurant, proudly serving some of Mexico's most authentic dishes. Spanish for rabbit, the name Conejo also refers to a variety of Mexican heirloom corn. And according to the Aztec myth of the 400 Conejos, divine rabbits are the gods of agave spirits!
Every day we mill heirloom corn from small family farms to make our tortillas, sopes, and tostadas. We make our flour tortillas daily from Sonoran wheat milled by our friends at Sub Rosa Bakery. Our bar features freshly squeezed signature margaritas, frozen cocktails, and a curated list of tequila and mezcal.
