Oxomoco - Brooklyn NY
Step into 1-Michelin starred Oxomoco in Brooklyn's Greenpoint neighborhood, and you might get the impression that you're not in Brooklyn anymore. In a bright, airy, skylit atmosphere with greenery speckled throughout the dining room, you'll sit down to a meal of fancied up dishes inspired by multiple regions of Mexico. Chef Justin Bazdarich uses a wood-fired oven to bring a smoky complexity to much of the menu, including smoked cherry tomatoes in the guacamole, wood-fired romaine in the "punta verde caesar" and the famous "polla a las brazas" (pictured). Of course, if you're craving tacos, they've got a wonderfully flavorful lamb barbacoa option or soft shell crab. Prices are expectedly steep, but the food won't let you down.
Get this: Pollo a las brazas—a grilled half-chicken seasoned with a traditional Mexican chile paste, honey, salsa, pickled onions and served with crispy red rice.
