"Even though co-owner and chef Iliana de la Vega’s Mexican restaurant is located in Texas, it is through and through Oaxacan. El Naranjo has undergone various iterations over the years, beginning as an actual restaurant in Mexico before transitioning into a trailer, a restaurant on Rainey in Austin, and ultimately, a more upscale table-service restaurant in the South Lamar neighborhood. Of particular note are the Oaxacan moles — especially the mole negro paired with duck breast." - Nadia Chaudhury
