This agreeable restaurant and cocktail lounge, whose modern Mexican menu nods to Tulum and Mexico City, makes the most of its Grandscape location by anchoring the dining room to a broad covered patio. As with the best Mexican cuisine, simplicity rules when quality ingredients shine. Begin with one of the bar’s powerful tequila cocktails then follow with a trio of flaky arepas. For a main course, the grilled seabream with plantain tostones will catch your eye, but Jākö’s slow-cooked short rib tacos slicked with fiery serrano salsa are the way to go.
