Animal Calzada, International restaurant in San Pedro Garza García, Mexico.
Animal Calzada is a restaurant in San Pedro Garza García, in the Monterrey metropolitan area of Mexico, serving grilled meats alongside Japanese dishes. The space spans several floors and includes a sushi bar as well as distinct seating areas.
The restaurant was built around the vision of Executive Chef Mitsunori Sergio Ichikawa Kimura, who trained in Japanese cooking and later worked with Mexican ingredients and techniques. His background in both traditions shaped the menu from the start.
Animal Calzada sits in one of the wealthier parts of the Monterrey metro area, where restaurants often mix international influences with local food traditions. Sitting at the sushi counter gives a close view of how the dishes are put together.
The restaurant is in San Pedro Garza García and is easiest to reach by car or taxi from central Monterrey. Reservations are a good idea, especially on weekend evenings when the place tends to fill up.
The restaurant has a trompo station where tacos are made with cuts like arrachera, pork belly, and ribeye, a style usually found at street-food stands rather than sit-down restaurants. Having a trompo next to a sushi bar in the same room is not something you see often.
