  1. Animalón

    Contemporary Mexican

    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    Dinner under a centuries-old oak tree in Valle de Guadalupe, with the Valle's vineyards pressing in from every side: that's the setting Animalón builds its tasting menu around. The contemporary Mexican kitchen ranges across the whole country for its influences, and the cooking leans theatrical, tableside broth pours and smoked preparations arriving with real ceremony. It holds a Michelin star, and the Premios MexBest Best of the Best.

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
