The 20 Best New Restaurants of 2025 | Bon Appétit

"At Acamaya the Castro sisters elevate coastal Mexican cooking with daily catches and playful abundance—crawfish folded into caramelized-cheese torpedoes in flour tortillas, masa dumplings filled with Jean Lafitte crab, and $90 platters brimming with caviar, gorditas, and puréed ayocote beans—set in a warmly lit room of soft pink tiles and ocean-blue bathrooms where every inch reflects their sunny, celebratory approach to seafood-forward dining." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff
