The Library is honored to welcome back Luna Contreras

of Chelo for another kitchen takeover!

This five part dining experience will celebrate traditional Mexican cuisine, as Chelo showcases street style snacks, pastries, and libations with whimsical playfulness. Cocktail and spirit pairings will be thoughtfully selected by MWL Education Manager & Spirit Curator, Brett Adams.

Due to the nature of this event, select seating will be communal. We will accommodate all seating requests to the best of our ability.

Please note the menu is pre-fixed, alterations and substitutions are politely declined.
