7 Best New Restaurants in Washington, D.C. - AFAR
"A modern fine-dining homage to authentic Mexican cuisine by Oaxacan-born chef Alam Méndez Florián that opened in October, emphasizing heirloom Mexican corn and Mid-Atlantic produce; the restaurant’s name nods to the country’s many corn varieties. Cooking centers on a gas-fired comal that anchors a six-seat comal bar where chef’s menus with varied tacos are served. Standout plates include fried shrimp corn quesadilla, steamed sweet corn tamal, and a creative al pastor riff featuring octopus with pineapple relish." - Natalie Beauregard
