Si Mon Vinos Mexicanos

Si Mon is a wine bar in Roma Norte dedicated entirely to Mexican wine — bottles from Baja California, Coahuila, Guanajuato, and beyond, with a selection that runs deep. The by-the-glass list skews small (four reds at any given time), but the bottle list is extensive, and the staff knows each producer well enough to guide you through it. Look for labels like El Tacuche, a smooth red that pairs well with the Manchego and truffle tapas, one of the most ordered plates in the house.

The space is low-key and industrial — dim lighting, exposed brick, the kind of place where conversation flows easily. Tapas include Spanish cured ham, smoked salmon toast, and papas bravas, all designed to accompany wine rather than compete with it. It's a small room that fills up during events, so expect a busier scene on those nights. Otherwise, it's a calm spot to settle in with a bottle and good company.
