MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
One Star: High quality cooking
This jewel in Rick Bayless' crown welcomes a rush of diners for original Mexican food with an upscale twist. The menu, boasting a panoply of flavors and textures, spins with the seasons. Though each dish is rooted in tradition, there's no shortage of flair, as in a celebration of the cuisine of Puebla which featured the memela divorciada. This oval of griddled corn masa, blue on one side and yellow on the other, was filled with black beans, topped with seafood longaniza, and set in a duo of luscious salsas. Other highlights revealed tamal colado presented with roasted poblano cream; and slow-roasted salmon dressed with Pueblan green pipian and smoked leeks. The beverage pairing is an education in agave spirits and is highly recommended to accentuate your meal.
