Tatemó
Mexican
A tortilleria in a strip mall conceals Chef Emmanuel Chavez's precise tasting menu, where heirloom corn from across Mexico becomes the architecture—crisp tostadas crowned with caviar, tlacoyos dressed in layered Mexican XO, mole negro dark as slate beneath plantain tortillas. Bring your own wine to an experience that finds beauty in restraint.
