1. Animalón

    Contemporary Mexican

    Animalón trades the wine-country conventionality of Valle de Guadalupe for dining beneath a centuries-old oak, where Javier Plascencia's contemporary Mexican kitchen stages baroque tableside rituals—a beer-braised barbacoa steamed in pig's bladder, a chocolate-clam broth poured tableside. The tranquility is real, the ambition relentless.
