\"Skate<\/a>
Skate wing milanesa with crunchy-coated New England skate wing, limey serrano mayo, pickled onions, ensaladita, and garlicky black beans<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Best Bite:<\/strong> If I see skate on a menu, I’ll usually order it (see also: Mexique<\/a>). This crunch-coated version with lime mayo and pickled onions was still perfect for tucking into tortillas \u2013 though I wasn’t surprised that Mexican master-chef Rick Bayless would even make humble tacos high-end.<\/p>\n

\"Sopecitos<\/a>
Sopecitos rancheros with crispy corn masa “boats,” braised beef chuck filling, roasted tomato-serrano sauce, avocado, and Mexican cincho cheese<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Other notes:<\/strong> I loved the masa boat appetizer with beef, tomato sauce, and tiny hunks of avocado. And the cleverly named Dos, Tres, Cuatro dessert didn’t just include tres leches (three milks), but also two kinds of nuts and four kinds of chocolate in a s’mores-like presentation.<\/p>\n

\"Dos,<\/a>
Dos, Tres, Cuatro cake with dos candied nuts (candied almonds and pecans), tres leches, cuatro chocolates (chocolate-infused tres leches cake, chocolate cookie, caramelized cocoa nibs, hot fudge)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
