"Popular with locals and visitors alike, Mas Allá del Sol’s chef and owner Adán Moreno’s food is so impressive that he was once commissioned to cook for a group of visitors, including the Archbishop of Mexico City. This anecdote is somewhat poetic, as the Catholic Church has historically been involved as part and patron of Mexico’s culinary history. Moreno’s menu features Mexican favorites like enchiladas, chiles rellenos, and a cactus salad, all prepared with carefully chosen ingredients. Other dishes are just as Mexican but not always easily found, like the puerco con verdolagas, a tangy, meaty leaf that brings out pork in an extraordinary way. Their mezcal list is intriguing, going beyond Oaxaca and showcasing bottles from various states, including San Luis Potosí Jalisco, Michoacán, Guerrero, and Durango. This casual neighborhood eatery is open for dinner but offers a weekend brunch and is usually busy. Stay in the loop on the restaurant’s schedule changes, menu highlights, and upcoming events by following their Instagram account." - Brenda Storch, Eater Staff
