MICTLÁN is a contemporary cocktail and mixology room located in Madrid, conceived as an immersive interpretation of Mexico’s cultural, spiritual, and territorial diversity through liquid storytelling. Inspired by different regions, traditions, symbols, and rituals of Mexican culture, Mictlán translates heritage into a modern mixology experience, combining technique, narrative, and sensory exploration. Each cocktail acts as a narrative piece, referencing landscapes, materials, ancestral symbolism, and popular culture, reimagined through a contemporary, minimalist, and artistic approach. Designed as an intimate, atmospheric space, Mictlán positions mixology as a cultural discipline, offering Madrid a unique destination where Mexican identity, creativity, and ritual converge in a sophisticated nightlife experience.

XOLO is a contemporary Mexican restaurant located in Madrid, conceived as a cultural and culinary showcase of Mexico beyond its most internationally known dishes. The project offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, presenting traditional recipes reinterpreted with contemporary technique and high-quality ingredients, sourced and treated with precision. Rather than focusing on a single regional identity, XOLO celebrates the diversity of Mexican gastronomy, bringing together flavors, ingredients, and culinary traditions from different regions of the country. The space is designed as a refined yet approachable environment where craftsmanship, warmth, and contemporary design coexist, positioning XOLO as a gastronomic destination that introduces Madrid to the depth, richness, and authenticity of Mexican cuisine through a modern lens.
