"Huitzil, located inside the El Recinto boutique hotel, fits the bill for an intimate yet casual dinner — the experience is approachable and the food filling. The restaurant uses local ingredients and blends international and Mexican flavors in dishes like crispy chicken with peanut sauce and roasted carrots or crab cakes with creamy garlic sauce, watercress, and Parmesan cheese. Cocktail-wise, opt for a local riff like the Mexican mule or the flavored mezcalitas." - Natalia de la Rosa
