Why we point you here

Named for a wild Mexican herb, Chef Jorge Vallejo's Mexico City kitchen turns the country's pantry into quiet art.

Chef Vallejo is out gathering ingredients every single day — local gardens, orchards, the length of Mexico's astonishing pantry — and it shows up on the plate as some of the prettiest food you'll come across, a leafy little bouquet where a tamale should be, flowers ringing a pool of mole. The room's stylish and genuinely relaxed, run out front by his wife Alejandra Flores, and the all-Mexican wine pairing changes constantly and is well worth a yes. Two Michelin stars and a regular near the top of the World's 50 Best. A bright, big-hearted case for modern Mexican cooking.
