The Best New Restaurants in New York City of 2025 (So Far) | Condé Nast Traveler

"I found Dolores to be a buzzy Bed‑Stuy cantina full of vintage Mexicania and stucco‑covered warmth—a TV‑set‑like atmosphere inspired by co‑founder Emir Dupeyron’s Mexico City upbringing but with nods across Central Mexico. The drinks program (mezcals, corn whiskey, sotol, punchy fruit flavors) is playful, and the food hits the mood: a cooked aguachile (everything fully cooked before saucing) and steamy lengua tacos wrapped in a fabric napkin so the vapor stays trapped were particular favorites. Come for the bites, but expect to return for the vibes." - Charlie Hobbs
