TOMATILLO is a Mexican restaurant at the Esplanade opened in February 2025 by chef Daniel and Tamara Chavez, bringing authentic Mexican flavours to Singapore's civic district. The kitchen focuses on traditional preparations using proper techniques and imported Mexican ingredients, from house-made tortillas to complex mole sauces. The mezcal and tequila bar complements the food programme, offering curated pours that reflect Mexico's agave spirit heritage with the same seriousness that wine lists receive elsewhere. The Esplanade setting provides an atmospheric backdrop for a cuisine still underrepresented in Singapore. TOMATILLO arrives with genuine Mexican voices behind it, offering diners an experience rooted in cultural authenticity rather than approximation.Operating hours not available
