Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

In its new location, about a block from where it used to be, this restaurant churns out Mexican standards such as chalupas poblanas, as well as versions of trendy contemporary Mexican cooking, including pasta stuffed with shrimp and huitlacoche, grilled-vegetable salad, and molcajetes de arrachera (fajitas with slices of chiles and onions that are cooked and served in a three-legged stone vessel). The cooking is great, the place is lively (the locals love it), and the decorative touches, such as trimmed agaves, give the dining areas a regional point of reference. Indoor/outdoor dining areas and a popular upstairs bar make up the majority of the restaurant. Tip: If this place is too crowded, or you're simply looking for quieter dining, go to the original site 1 block away (Av. Mexico 2916), where you'll find a new restaurant called La Divina Tentación (tel. 33/3642-7242). The menu is similar, tending slightly more toward the style of cooking in Mexico City.
