  • High-End Latin Restaurants for Years—Why Has It Taken So Long for Silicon Valley to Catch the Nuevo Wave? Joya, Mezcal and Others Are Leading the Charge
    07.15.09 home | metro silico n valley index | silicon valley restaurants | review Nuevolution FIND A RESTAURANT The rest of the country has enjoyed the modern ambience and unique regional dishes of high-end Latin restaurants for years—why has it taken so long for Silicon Valley to catch the Nuevo wave? Joya, Mezcal and others are leading the charge. By Stett Holbrook advertise Photographs by Felipe Buitrago ADOLFO GOMEZ moved to San Jose from Oaxaca in southern Mexico 20 years ago. Although he worked in the restaurant and hospitality industry here, Gomez longed for the tastes of home. TRES ELEMENTS: Mez cal in San Jo se o ffers a mo le "I was always looking for a place to eat triplet (belo w) while Jo ya in Palo Alto serves a real Oaxacan food," Gomez says. three-way ceviche platter (above). Once, he found a little place in Redwood City that specialized in the distinctive cuisine of Oaxaca, but the restaurant quickly bowed to market pressures and dropped the complex moles and tlayudas in favor of carne asada and al pastor tacos, like every other Mexican restaurantin the Silicon Valley. "I like that food, but I always miss my cuisine," Gomez remarks. Only now, two decades after arriving in San Jose, can Gomez enjoy the flavors of home. That's because he opened Mezcal, his own restaurant in downtown San Jose, last November. The economy notwithstanding, Gomez says the timing was right to open a new kind of Mexican restaurant because of the dining public's growing sophistication and awareness of the distinctive styles of regional Mexican cuisine.
