- MEXTA Mexican Restaurant — The MICHELIN inspector's write-up describes refined takes on classic Mexican preparations built on sauces, naming a layered mole manchamanteles of plantain and pineapple over a masa tetela with slow-cooked pork belly. The kitchen is run by Jonatan Gomez Luna Torres of Le Chique in Cancun and Mikel Alonso of the closed Biko in Mexico City.
