"From the start, business partners Luis Nava and Leo Vazquez were clear on what La Tia was not — Tex-Mex, which is not their heritage. Instead, this inspiring collaboration showcases a vast range of regional specialties, from pork belly tamales to chamorroa, a rustic Mexican osso buco bright with the flavors of chili peppers and spices like achiote. For the heat of summer, the citrusy shrimp aguachile is a must-try. The cocktail menu, from bar chef Ulysses Campos, likewise impresses." - Beth D’Addono
