Skip to main contentYou may experience mild surprise upon entering this Southeast hot spot. After all, the name—which translates simply as "Our Kitchen"—and the mission, an avowedly simple take on the food of central Mexico, are somewhat at odds with the elegant, tiled interior and cool patio. But any confusion evaporates with the appearance of thick, handmade tortillas and salsas: This is gutsy, soulful home cooking, and underneath the artful presentation it packs a full dose of heat, salt and flavor. Ceviche de huachinango (red snapper) is spicy and tart, sopes de chorizo are addictive, golden-fried packets of salty goodness, and chicken in mole is rich, complex and satisfying as can be. (SL)
