Best International Restaurants 2023

"One of the leaders in the new wave of modern Mexican cuisine, Quintonil is run by Chef Jorge Vallejo — a Pujol alum — and his wife Alejandra Flores, who worked as operations and commercial director for the Enrique Olvera Group. The ambiance is sleek and modern, with blond wood, gray or green chairs, and an open kitchen. The cuisine is equally stylish, showcasing seasonal and local ingredients in creative ways, with dishes like braised oxtail in black recado panucho sauce with almond purée and red onion. The nine-course tasting menu is a culinary tour de force of modern Mexican cuisine." - Laura Itzkowitz
