Oyamel Cocina Mexicana (CLOSED)

With just one bite of chefs José Andrés and Omar Rodriguez’s food, the experts’ love for Mexican cuisine becomes apparent. Top menu items like the lobster and corn guac (made-to-order), beer-battered mahi mahi tacos (assembled with freshly made tortillas) and housemade chocolate mole sauce keep the locals coming back for more. If you’re a tequila fan, you’ll love this spot. There are over 100 different kinds offered here, which is fitting since the margaritas are the stars of the drink menu. The restaurant’s elegant interiors—bathed in dark wood and accented with dazzling chandeliers—just add to the experience.
