"When Noble Rot’s Mychal Dynes and Nodoguro’s Mark Wooten opened this palace of mezcal and tacos in September 2017, it quickly became a destination. The menu includes tacos with fillings like carrot pastor and crispy carnitas, as well as hefty tortas like the Suadero Americano with braised beef and melted American cheese. Smoky mezcal cocktails accompany the food menu, with an impressively long mezcal list. Dynes and Wooten opened a second spot in downtown Ridgefield, where they offer a lunch menu that includes burritos; the space splits time with their other business, Bunnie’s Pizza, which features specialty pizzas like an heirloom tomato pie and pasta dishes like pork ragu over penne." - Rachel Pinsky
