La Condesa

Rene Ortiz and Laura Sawicki keep rocking my world with modern fare that reminds me of my hometown, including those awesome tacos Arábicos and El Califa, their homage to the popular Mexico City late-night spot. Add all kinds of groovy desserts and an ever-changing selection of craft cocktails, and you can't go wrong at this hip Second Street spot. – Claudia Alarcón
