"Chefs Gustavo and Kate Romero’s restaurant preserves and celebrates heirloom corn varieties, which have suffered in recent decades due to hybridization and industrial tortilla production. Their heirloom masa transforms into blue, pink, and yellow corn tortillas that are loaded with roasted cauliflower in peanut mole; lengua with chile de arbol; and, seasonally, soft shell crab with squid ink tempura kimchi. Be sure to save room for a rotating dessert like the tarta de maiz and its mango custard and kiwi salsa at the end. Book a reservation on Tock; a to-go menu is available but orders must be placed in person." - Cinnamon Janzer
