Hoja Santa

Tucked away in Barcelona’s El Poble-Sec neighborhood, Hoja Santa brings elevated Mexican cuisine to the Catalan capital with stunning results. This restaurant from the acclaimed Adrià brothers takes diners on a culinary journey through the flavors of Oaxaca, presenting traditional Mexican ingredients and techniques through a refined, contemporary lens.

The menu at Hoja Santa is a testament to the depth and complexity of Mexican gastronomy. Drawing heavy inspiration from Oaxacan traditions, every plate that emerges from the kitchen showcases the kitchen’s commitment to excellence. Whether you’re sampling their interpretations of classic dishes or exploring more adventurous offerings, the consistent quality across the entire menu makes ordering easy—just get as much as your table can handle.

For those seeking a more laid-back experience without sacrificing flavor, the adjoining Niño Viejo offers the same culinary philosophy in a casual taco shop format. It’s an ideal option for a quick bite or when you want exceptional Mexican food in a less formal setting.

Hoja Santa represents the best of what happens when world-class culinary talent meets genuine respect for a cuisine’s traditions. It’s a must-visit for anyone who appreciates Mexican food elevated to its highest expression.
