Arca
Contemporary Mexican
Open-air fine dining right off the tourist strip sounds like a trap, but Arca is genuinely the real thing. The menu shifts constantly based on what the chef is pulling from a network of local farmers, and everything hits the live fire before it hits your table. The crowd skews well-traveled and linen-shirted, people who did their research. Book ahead, show up ready for a proper sit-down meal, and let the kitchen do its thing.
