New-wave Mexican
A quiet facade on a Polanco side street opens into a room of blond wood, vine-draped walls, and Mexican art, where the tasting menu reads like a field guide to ingredients most kitchens ignore. Chef Jorge Vallejo, who came up through Noma and Pujol, holds two Michelin stars and a spot at number three on the World's 50 Best list. Indigenous corn, insects, herbs, and wild mushrooms arrive in compositions that feel personal rather than performative.
