A meal named for the 3 parts of a bullfight? Yes, the origin of the name of Mexico’s ubiquitous 3-course, fixed price, midday meal, Comida Corrida, is derived from the “Tres tiempos” of a “Corrida de toros.”
Ordinarily, simple and substantial, chef Jean Michel Thomas of Gío (aka, Dondé está el Chef?) has taken it to a French infused gourmet level — all for only 80 pesos. My lunch on Monday…
Crema de Flor de Calabaza al Aji Panca accompanied by Agua de Jamaica
Tartare de Atún Fresco con Tomate y Arroz a la Mostaza de Dijon
Pastel de Chocolate Oaxaca con Coulis de Mango
Gío currently can be found at Eucaliptos 407A, Colonia Reforma, in the city of Oaxaca. It is open Monday through Friday, from 2:00 – 5:00 PM.
¡Buen provecho!
