"Acclaimed chef Christian Irabién brought coastal flavors, seafood, and local seasonal ingredients to the heart of Dupont last fall at his long-awaited ode to modern Mexican cuisine and his roots. The Oyamel alum puts veggies on a pedestal at Amapro Fondita, as seen in black beans prepared with heirloom beans from Rancho Gordo and traditional Mexican spices. Irabién hails from Chihuahua, Mexico and grew up working in his grandfather’s Mexican restaurant in El Paso." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
