Hugo's - Houston, TX
This upscale Houston haunt serving Mexican fare with a modern twist is the chic sister to your grungy corner burrito shop. In fact, don't expect to see burritos on the menu, period. Instead, they're serving up a roster of refined Mexican dishes, including the almost-too-pretty-to-eat ceviche verde, classic dishes like chile en nogada (stuffed poblano peppers in a walnut cream sauce) and even chapulines, a dish of sauteed grasshoppers served with guac, house-made tortillas and a chipotle-tomatillo salsa.
Get this: Anything really, but if you feel like trying a more traditional dish, you can't go wrong with the chile relleno, a poblano stuffed with chicken, cheese, a green pumpkin seed sauce, Mexican rice and refried beans.
