"Partners Luis Nava and Ulysses Campos aimed to break the mold of traditional Mexican cuisine with the opening of Aguasanta, which means “holy water.” The follow-up to La Tia in Metairie juxtaposes ingredients with toothsome results. Fried pork wontons sit on a pool of mole. Roasted oysters arrive topped with smoky chili sauce, Oaxacan cheese, and chorizo. Slow-cooked brisket bao comes with chipotle aioli and cilantro. The presentation is gorgeous, as is the restaurant’s stylish interior." - Beth D’Addono
