"Oaxacan specialties like chapulines (spicy grasshoppers), huitlacoche, or sikil pak (a nutty pumpkin seed sauce) are some of the highlights at this stylish spot. An open kitchen, large bar, and pleasant patio keep things casual and lively. A serious mezcal collection and creative cocktail menu are not to be missed." - Rodrigo Ormachea, Ellen Fort, Janelle Bitker
