"The chef and co-owner of the South Lamar Oaxacan restaurant, Iliana de la Vega, won a James Beard Award in 2022 for good reason: Her food is outstanding, from the perfect mole negro de Oaxaca with duck breast to the weekly ceviche. Find it all in a bright, modern dining room with sunflower-yellow walls. Takeout orders can be placed over the phone; there are indoor and outdoor dine-in services." - Nadia Chaudhury
