A funky mix of exposed brick and polished wood creates an industrial aesthetic at Verde's Mexican Parrilla. It's certainly not what you'd expect of a standard Mexican restaurant, but it works well with the chefs' gourmet take on classic south-of-the-border eats. In addition to quesadillas and tacos, the kitchen team crafts upscale fare from fresh ingredients, worthy of a fine dining establishment (despite Verde's relatively laid-back vibe).
Regulars highly recommend the signature bone-in pork chop. It's equal parts sweet and spicy thanks to a honey-chipotle glaze on top. The pollo palomino, another house specialty, also impresses patrons. It showcases a tender breast of grilled chicken smothered with gooey cheese, poblano peppers, and a creamy poblano sauce. Pair your main with a side such as cilantro-lime rice, roasted corn and chipotle aioli, or poblano cream mashed potatoes.
