The Hit List: New Mexico City Restaurants To Try Right Now

"Castacán, run by the same crew behind Contramar, is vibrant with colorful tiles, loud music, and metal folding chairs. It’s got a lot going on, unlike the menu, which is refreshingly simple: just Yucatán-style pork tacos and tortas, plus vegetable versions thrown in for good measure. The highlight is the $2.50 taco de cochinita pibil—slow-roasted piglet drenched in juices that’ll leave your hands (and probably your shirt) a mess, but the one with lechón con castacán, fried pork belly, is also a solid pick. Castacan keeps the drink menu straightforward, too, with Carta Blanca beer, rosé and white wine by the glass, and Boing guava soft drinks." - guillaume guevara
