| If you're in the mood for Mexican, try the aromatic Puebla cuisine at Xochitl (pronounced so-cheet). The margaritas and specialty tequila cocktails at this cozy establishment make a good argument for hanging about after dinner, too. (The bar stocks 75 100 percent blue agave tequilas.) Don't come here if you're hankering for a burrito. This is a significantly more exotic menu, with items like mole de olla de cerdo, pork cheek, belly and trotter, morcilla, pork guajillo broth, rutabaga dumplings and red cabbage; or albondigas, veal tongue meatballs. The less adventurous can feast on arroz con pollo. Try one of the house specialties for two, including the whole roasted fish of the day with pungent acacia seed-tomatillo sauce. Add in the kickin’ tableside guacamole and Xochitl stands out from the crowd. |
