  1. Covacha

    Mexican

    The bar is stocked with tequila, mezcal, and a page of boutique agave wines, which tells you something about priorities at this warm, festive Mexican restaurant on Columbus Avenue. The cooking roots itself in Jalisco's rancho traditions, so expect slow-roasted beef shank served with tortillas and brothy beans for an unapologetically hands-on meal. Portions are generous and prices are fair enough that the Michelin Bib Gourmand makes sense. Tables fill with families and groups in full celebration mode.
