"Ticuchi is dark—as in very dark—and while that’ll make the experience feel sexy and mysterious, the real appeal here is the food. There’s a heavy vegetarian focus, and corn is the star (the people making fresh tortillas in the front kitchen should clue you in). The menu changes often, but it consistently includes impressive small plates like their outstanding tamal de esquite. They also have excellent mezcals on the drink menu, but our favorite cocktail is the tequila-based Silver Rush with fermented honey, lemon, and bee pollen. " - guillaume guevara
