Santa Catarina
Deep red walls and pushed-tin decor liven up this interior Mexican spot in a strip mall. Start with a hand-crafted margarita or a homemade corn tortilla dipped into the Queso Fundido — Chihuahua cheese mixed with roasted jalapeños, tomatoes and onions and served in a hot skillet. Then move on to one of the house specialties, such as the Pechuga Rellena, a grilled chicken breast stuffed with venison chorizo and vegetables dressed with salsa chipotle, or the Cochinita Pibil, slow-cooked pork shoulder marinated in achiote and wrapped in a banana leaf. This is not the place for those craving yellow cheese.
