Celebrity chef Alejandro Ruiz grew up in Oaxaca and he celebrates his city's famed cuisine in this elegant traditional restaurant. Quesadillas stuffed with flor de calebaza are a great entrée, and the mole oaxaqueno is not to be missed. It is a deep black and redolent with chocolate and chile and its served over turkey (the traditional way rather than the modernized practice of using chicken). A Bib Gourmand selection in the Guide Michelin.
