"El Nopalito — operated by Rosalba Palillero, her mom, Estella, and their extended family — serves outstanding Mexican dishes in a cafe that’s as vibrant as the food. The tacos and enchiladas are fan favorites, but don’t miss the platillos, specifically the rich, spicy pollo en mole poblano. And keep an eye on Instagram for announcements when fresh tamales are available." - Kae Lani Palmisano
