Big, crispy, unapologetic.
Our 10 inch milanesa eats like a pie—topped with artisan greens dressed in a mustard tarragon vinaigrette.

Not here to be delicate. Here to be eaten.

Some say we have the best flan in town, some travel from other boroughs just for it, some have even gone as far as saying it’s better than their Abuela’s! We’re not here to say we’re better than your grandmother, but we’ll let you be the judge of that. 🍮

PULSE CHECK!

We know we have been a bit MIA on the gram but we are working on big things and can’t wait to start sharing them with you.

In the meantime here is a well overdue photo of the team.

Behind every flame, every plate, and every smile at R40 is this team right here. Success in a restaurant isn’t built by one person—it’s created together, in the little moments of trust, hustle, and laughter we share every day. Grateful for this crew who turn hard work into joy, and challenges into something beautiful. Here’s to teamwork, the real secret ingredient.

Our arugula pesto gnocchi got an upgrade! We added some zucchini ribbons for brightness and torn burrata to add richness. It quickly became a staff favorite, come and give us your opinion :)

Lemon Pepper Chimichurri Wings with brown butter, celery and a smoked Alabama white sauce

Our wings are a three day process. We start by curing them overnight with herbs & spices. The next day we confit them for 4 hours and let them cooldown and mellow out in the fat overnight.

While that’s happening we’re dehydrating lemons, toasting milk powder and other goodies for the spice mix.

We make a luscious aioli in house, mount it with buttermilk, spices and smoke it with hickory for that smokey flavor we all love.

For service, the wings are fried until glassy, tossed with brown butter, our lemon pepper chimi spice mix & plated over our smoked alabama white sauce.

Trust us folks, this is not one to be missed.
