"Design is one of the crowning glories at this restaurant (it’s received several awards within just two years of opening). Consider the crowd a combination of neighborhood regulars and foodies in-the-know (thanks to Gaytán’s history of accolades and recognitions—including that of the first Mexican-born chef to earn a Michelin star). Agave-enthusiasts will rejoice, as tequila and mezcal are the main events here, and the team is constantly shuffling up their offerings to highlight them. Encounter that confluence of flavors and styles across the menu in orders like the Chile Relleno (stuffed poblano pepper with tomato fondue and panela cheese) or the Chicharron Pescado (fried red snapper with salsa cruda and peanut aioli), and for brunch with the Papadzul Crepe (with scrambled eggs and pumpkin seed salsa) or Tzuco Shakshuka (with baked eggs, crushed tomatoes, and pita bread). First and 14th dates alike are in good company here, as are gregarious gatherings toasting everything from birthdays and promotions to the arrival of Friday night." - Nicole Schnitzler
