"When you’re charged with setting up a meal with your snowbird in-laws, Santo is the best move. It’s cozy like a living room and the rotating Sononran-inspired menu (go for the lamb shank spiked with chili glaze) is bound to win over skeptical out-of-towners. Cocktails like the Anticuado with Mexican whiskey make conversation flow easy. The grilled mushrooms, hit with a smoky salsa macha, are solid openers, and a headliner main like the tomahawk pork chop is big enough to feed two (or one very hungry person). You don’t need reservations, but strategic timing and some luck will help—the Arcadia Proper regulars who’ve made the dining room their second home will make you wish you had a spot locked down." - Lauren Topor
