Best Mexican

This is the prettiest and most refined of our choices. Yes, that means more gringo-ized than the others. But partners Eduardo "Lalo" Durazo, Martin Moreno, and chef Oscar Del Rivero hail from Mexico City, and the recipes come from family and country -- just gussied up a bit. Guacamole is a chili-and-pork-rind-heightened mash of ripe avocados; masa corn cakes get capped with black beans, goat cheese, salsa verde, and grilled protein of choice; tacos de Chilorio are plumped with shreds of roast pork; enchiladas, chiles rellenos, tacos, and ceviches exhibit fresh, zesty flavors -- and that is the true spirit of Mexican cooking. Most main plates are under $25, with lots of choices less than $20. Weekday lunch specials are served with chips, salsa, beverage, and sorbet for $13.
