Alteo, a creation of Michelin-starred Chef Johnny Curiel, pays homage to his Jaliscan Highland roots by showcasing a blend of heritage flavors and rustic preparations that celebrate the cuisine and culture of Los Altos de Jalisco. The restaurant embodies the spirit of Curiel's restaurateur father, reflecting the campestre influence from Johnny's childhood in the mountainous region known for its historic colonial architecture and untamed landscapes.

Alongside his partner and wife, Kasie, Chef Johnny has curated a beverage program that harmonizes top-shelf native Mexican flavors and agave spirits, such as raicilla and mezcal, with classic cocktails. The wine list features a selection of Mexican, European, and American wines, all overseen by Alteo's in-house sommelier.
