The Chupa earns raves as a must-order, with reviewers praising its bold, satisfying flavors. Overall, the food at Le Mary delivers a warm, unpretentious vibe that feels both comforting and exciting.
“This cocktail has red pepper purée, curry syrup, lemon juice, hibiscus, maraschino, tequila, and homemade chili pepper. It's slightly spicy and very particular — it's better than a Bloody Mary, but with pepper. Delicious.”

Cocktail Turco
This cocktail has fresh mint, passion fruit juice, almond and vanilla rooibos infusion, gunpowder, hawthorn liqueur, gin, and a special recipe. It's inspired by Turkish cuisine. It's delicious — it really takes me back to Turkey. It has all the ingredients of the mint tea that any Turk offers you, even at a gas station, as a way to make you feel welcome. This is an alcoholic version of that welcoming mint tea. Delicious.
Chupa
This cocktail has red pepper purée, curry syrup, lemon juice, hibiscus, maraschino, tequila, and homemade chili pepper. It's slightly spicy and very particular — it's better than a Bloody Mary, but with pepper. Delicious.
