Editor’s picks from published local guides
  • Mexican

    Las Gardenias serves dishes from Guadalajara on Plankinton Avenue, including shrimp aguachile, roasted bone marrow with molcajete salsa, handmade tamales and chile-simmered pork chops. Order the shrimp aguachile negro for its spicy, smoky black chile sauce.

  • Tamales

    This Guadalajara-influenced dining room makes plated tamales in two styles: seasonal vegetables with salsa roja, salsa verde and mole, or chicken with salsa verde. The handmade approach is clear, though the vegetable version has been called bland despite its three sauces. The chicken option appears on the menu but did not receive that same tasting judgment.
