"Taverna is a dark, mysterious restaurant, located in a restored Juárez hacienda that’s almost entirely lit by candlelight. You’ll dine on mostly Mediterranean-inspired dishes that are roasted in a wood-burning oven, like standout dates stuffed with chorizo and wrapped in jamon serrano, fried sardines with a sardine aioli, and a beet carpaccio with a pistachio dressing that should be bottled and sold everywhere. Settle into one of several corners that are ideal for low-key conversations—or flirting without an audience." - guillaume guevara
