Metate
Mexican
Down a dirt road off the hotel strip, this open-air Mexican restaurant earns its Michelin Bib Gourmand with antojitos and wood-fired grilled meats served on a stone patio strung with lights. The name refers to the flat stone used for grinding maize, which tells you where the kitchen's head is at. Blue corn tortillas and squid ink batter show the cooks aren't just playing it safe. Casual, affordable, and easy to miss if you're not looking.
