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

"Tirasavia, run by a chef who’s worked at NYC restaurants like La Grenouille and Veritas, is perfect for a long catch-up. The airy space with just a few wine bottles on display and light music, sets a chill vibe for in-depth conversations about your latest haul from the nearby Lagunilla Sunday flea market. Their seasonal menu, revolving around the freshest ingredients and flavors inspired from around the world, will give you plenty to chat about, too. The heirloom tomato salad might make you feel like you’re eating tomato salad for the first time thanks to the dried shrimp and herby vinaigrette, and the pulpo a las brasas is spot-on, paired with romesco, baby potatoes, and chorizo powder. Come Saturday evenings for live jazz, and a standout burger with runny onion jam, bacon, and gouda." - guillaume guevara
