When you talk about Mexican fine dining, you talk about Enrique Olvera, and you've possibly seen him on the Netflix show Chef's Table. The tasting menu (the restaurant's only option) is one of the city's priciest options at $96 a head, but it's absolutely worth it for a very special experience. You’ll get try unusual ingredients, like the famous husked baby corn smoked inside a hollowed out gourd with chicatana ants, coffee and chile mayo. This is Mexican food like you’ve never had it before.
