What to order

  • Oaxacan — Moles — there are seven classic ones — tlayudas, and string cheese. Mole negro takes days and dozens of ingredients and is one of the great dishes on earth.
  • Yucatecan — Cochinita pibil, achiote, sour orange, habanero. Completely distinct from anything else and unmistakable.
  • Poblano — Mole poblano, chiles en nogada in season, cemitas.
  • Coastal Sinaloan and Nayarit — Aguachile, ceviche, pescado zarandeado. Bright, citrus-heavy seafood cooking.

How to spot a good one

  • Corn treated properly — Nixtamalised corn, ideally ground on site. A kitchen making its own masa is making a serious commitment, and it changes every tortilla, tamal and sope that leaves the kitchen.
  • Chillies named individually — Guajillo, ancho, pasilla, morita, chile de árbol. A menu that names its chillies is describing specific flavours. One that says spicy is not.
  • Regional labels — Oaxacan, Yucatecan, Poblano, Sinaloan, Jalisciense. These are meaningful claims about a specific tradition.
