Ancestral Cocina Tradicional
Mexican
Thatched roof, open air, a grove of trees overhead, and a menu that traces its flavors back to the chef's grandmother's kitchen. This outdoor Mexican restaurant in Barrio de Xochimilco leans into Oaxacan tradition without getting stuck there, folding mole coloradito into stuffed plantains and keeping the comal near the entrance busy with memelas and tetelas. The Michelin Guide has it on their list, which means the secret is out on the oasis.
