Tecalitlan Description:
This vibrant regional Mexican joint has yellow and blue walls decked with wacky folk art, creating a playful backdrop for molcajete surtido, a stone mortar filled with grilled sirloin, cactus, chicken and chorizo topped with savory sauce. Of course, moles make an appearance on the menu as well, notably atop a charcoal-grilled Amish chicken breast. Other highlights include a parchment pack of leg of lamb stew laced with avocado leaves; carne asada constructed from Coleman natural rib-eye; and wood-grilled Alaskan sockeye salmon with a poblano, almond, peanut, sesame seed and plantain mole. There's a $45 tasting menu, too, and it can be paired with wine for an additional $19. The menu is largely organic and sustainable, proving you can feel good while gorging. Check out the back garden in summer; it's a great place to sip your way through the high-end tequilas.
