Vica could stand on its charm alone. Nestled within a 16th-century building in Atlixco, the open-air dining room affords views of the historic property and verdant garden, but this isn't just a pretty place to pull up a chair. Chef Francisco Vigorito prepares a tasting menu that highlights the valley, rotating with the seasons to spotlight the best products. The meal begins with bites such as squash tucked with a poblano chile puree and garnished with cilantro flowers. Grilled cheese topped with guava and tomatillo might be next, followed by rabbit barbacoa with a turmeric and rosemary sauce.

Tacos Charly

Mexican · Bib

Tacos Charly is a popular spot in Tlalpan, the southern part of Mexico City, so arrive early or expect a wait, and bring cash, as credit cards aren't accepted. Come for their suadero, which they confit and then simmer in water for a juicier taco. However, don't skip out on their al pastor tacos; they're prepared at a dedicated station with the cook deftly managing the trompo. Tender and flavorful, the meat is sliced ever-so-thinly and deliciously touched with a bit of rendered fat.

Chef Eduardo Luna’s contemporary Mexican tasting menu matches the lofty space, and he makes a striking impression with smart ideas and refined presentations. Think beef tartare with serrano on brioche, puffy tortilla with mushrooms and mole poblano or a particularly satisfying strawberry salad with vanilla cream and lemon ice cream. Sh
