Frommer's Exceptional
If years of queso dip and fried chimichangas have framed your vision of Mexican food, be prepared for your world to come crashing delightfully down. Sparkling seasonal menus rooted in such Mexican traditions as Day of the Dead and Independence Day bring rare mole sauces and stuffed chiles drenched in walnut-cream sauce and pomegranate seeds (chile en nogada), while traditional staples such as flavored tamales and grilled farm cheese atop roasted tomatillo salsa grace the menu on a regular basis. A uniquely extensive Mexican and imported wine list and ample supply of fresh-mint mojitos paired with the warmth of the staff and perfect portions ensure a festive evening that will change the way you view Mexican food. For nearly a decade, Chef Margarita C. de Salinas has been the official gala chef for the Mexican government, which means she travels the world preparing gourmet Mexican fare for heads of state, while her son, Angel, holds down the fort with such graciousness and culinary perfection, it must be a secret family recipe. Try the tasting menu or create your own, but whatever you do, don't miss the queso corazón (local farm cheese grilled atop smoky salsa) to start.
