"Acclaimed chef Christian Irabién brings coastal flavors, seafood, and local seasonal ingredients to the heart of Dupont at his long-awaited ode to modern Mexican cuisine and his roots. The Oyamel alum puts veggies on a pedestal at Amapro Fondita, as seen in black beans prepared with heirloom beans from Rancho Gordo and traditional Mexican spices. Irabién hails from Chihuahua, Mexico and grew up working in his grandfather’s Mexican restaurant in El Paso. Take a leisurely lunch here on Fridays, with hours starting at 5 p.m. during the rest of the work week." - Tierney Plumb
