DELAFIELD - Hispania, a new Mexican restaurant in downtown Delafield, 601 Genesee Street, is expected to open June 21. It boasts an adherence to Mexican tradition, all-natural meals and a commitment to supporting local producers.

According to owner Juan Gutierrez, the menu will constantly change as he and his wife Natalia Aramoni discover new recipes from trips to their home - Chiapas - in southern Mexico.

“We want to have a dish for everybody,” Gutierrez said, citing a variety of choices including crab cakes with tamarind and mango sauce, fresh fish, meatless tamales and meat dishes.

Hispania will offer handcrafted items from southern Mexico, including coffee from Gutierrez's father's coffee farm, in order to give back to their home region. They will also offer handmade corn and flour tortillas.

Hours are: Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4:30 to 10 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.; and Sunday 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 to 8 p.m.
