Mole takes a day
Chiles toasted by hand, then ground with chocolate, nuts and spice. There is no version of this that comes out of a jar, so we do not keep one.

Since 1985
Ten businesses, forty five years in this country, and one kitchen in Mount Kisco.
The name
The name conjures Mexico, where magic and joy are part of ordinary life. A time of splendor. A particular art of color and mystery. We put the dove on the sign because it is what we wanted the room to feel like.
Hacienda La Paloma is the tenth business built by a first generation immigrant family. Across forty five years in the United States, we have learned how to cook for our neighbors without cooking down to them.

How we cook
Chiles toasted by hand, then ground with chocolate, nuts and spice. There is no version of this that comes out of a jar, so we do not keep one.
Mashed in volcanic stone in front of you, seasoned to your heat. It is the oldest piece of equipment in the building and the one we use most.
Red snapper wrapped in banana leaf, ceviche cut to order, paella built from shellfish that arrived that morning. If it is not right, it does not go out.
The bar
Fresh lime, no sour mix, and a tequila list worth reading. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from four to seven, and the tapas menu runs right alongside it.

Two minutes from the Mount Kisco Metro-North station, with parking on Lexington and in the municipal lot behind the building.
