"The next time you’re fantasizing about calling in sick to work and impulsively booking tickets to Mexico, head to Vive Sol instead, where the decor and vibe will make you feel like you’re on vacation, even if only for the length of your meal. Here, you’ll find modern Pueblan dishes—a fusion of foods of the indigenous people of Puebla, Mexico and the French “haut cuisine” that influenced it during France’s occupation. The burritos, quesadillas, and enchiladas—our favorite is the enchiladas de mole that’s bathed in a richly spiced, cocoa-enhanced sauce—are worth your time and money, along with dishes where the French accent is a little more pronounced, like the excellent champinoñes con chile seco—mushrooms sautéed in a creamy Burgundy sauce and served with chiles and bay shrimp." - gabi moskowitz
