"São Paulo isn't known for its Mexican food, but Metzi is working to change that. They add Brazilian ingredients to Mexican classics, like tres leches with cupuaçu—an Amazonian fruit with a white chocolate flavor—and a tlayuda with a heavy layer of courgette leaves and herbs. Skip the tasting menu, and instead focus on a few a la carte highlights. The hake tostada with avocado and spicy salsa is impeccable, and the lamb barbacoa is steeped in a rich, deep-brown sauce. It makes for a killer blue corn taco topped with raw onion, avocado, and more salsa. " - tome morrissy swan
