Quiote (CLOSED)

The fact that Quiote stands out in a neighborhood that is teeming with great Mexican restaurants is a testament to executive chef Ross Henke's inventive menu. Upstairs, you'll find guests devouring shared plates of regional cuisine, including an addictive avocado salad and lamb carnitas tacos with Japanese eggplant. Downstairs, mezcal bar Todos Santos serves potent drinks, like the Through Being Cool with tamarind, beer, fresh ginger, pimento dram, lime juice and ancho chile salt.
