Oaxacan-inspired dishes, complex moles, heirloom corn tortillas
"With a big menu of dishes from Puebla and Oaxaca and a bright blue interior, this restaurant on Hope Street brings the sunshine year-round. Come with a group and start the night with a pitcher of sangria with pomegranate seeds swirling around. Dolores also has an extensive cocktail list replete with Mexican spirits that go beyond tequila and mezcal (like sotol and Oaxacan rum). Foodwise, there’s a lot to choose from, but the mole pistachio and chile relleno are two rich dishes worth saving stomach room for. Even if you don’t want a full-blown meal, though, you can still come here to snack and drink. Get the tetela filled with goat cheese and serrano peppers and topped with spicy salsa roja or a round of tostadas with salsa, paired with a Sotol sour." - grace kelly
"A forthcoming project slated to open in July that is associated with a nearby natural wine bar." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Chef Maria Meza arrived in the U.S. in 1992 with a dream to open her own restaurant. Today, locals wait patiently for tables to get a taste of her family’s dishes from the Mixteca region of Mexico. Members of the Meza family cook meals inspired by their heritage in Oaxaca and Puebla: complex, long-simmered moles; hand-ground heirloom corn tortillas folded into pockets and filled with cheese to make tetelas; and an array of tamales that are also available frozen to take home. Maria’s son Joaquin runs the bar, which is stocked with artisanal mezcal and other enticing regional spirits." - Jenna Pelletier
