"Chef Juan Gomez and pastry chef Sam Cameron have created a rare hyper-seasonal, high-end Mexican restaurant with memorable dishes like Pork Collar Carnitas Gringa confited in its own lard on a roti-like flatbread topped with quesillo, asparagus aguachile, pickled ramps, wood sorrel, and viola flowers, and Zucchini Tatemado with grilled panela and chermoula roja; almost every dish is festooned with edible flowers from Pratum Botanicals, and desserts—from Mango Nicuatole to a Concord Grape Peanut Butter Tart—are particular highlights. The snug new location sits along the Park Blocks with extra seating next door at sister mezcal bar Comala, where pared-down versions of Gomez’s dishes are available." - Hannah Wallace
