1. Criollo

    Oaxacan Mexican

    Dinner in a candlelit open-air courtyard inside a UNESCO heritage guesthouse, with incense burning and birds doing their thing overhead. That's Criollo, a tasting-menu restaurant where the kitchen works through traditional Oaxacan recipes with serious intention. The crowd tends toward the romantic-occasion end of things, people dressed nicely and in no particular rush. Enrique Olvera's name on the door tells you the cooking is worth the commitment.
