Cempazuchi's charming multicolored walls are adorned with Mexican handicrafts. The durable bar is made of cement inlaid with hand-painted ceramic tiles. The reason for including a florists' stand near the entrance escapes me, though it does ensure a plentiful supply of fresh flowers. Exploring the appetizer menu is a pleasure. But this restaurant sets high standards.
Soups are a pleasure.
It's a simple dish, with just enough tartness. Salads are of high quality, made with fresh, trendy greens. The mild peppers are best with a simple lemon vinaigrette. The selection of entrees is well thought-out, balancing beef, poultry, seafood and vegetarian items. It's everything a good Mexican dish should be.
