El Arrayán

The spirited Arrayán is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for anyone in search of authentic Mexican cuisine. The casual open-air dining area surrounds a cozy courtyard, while its exposed brick walls and funky-chic decor showcase a modern view of Mexican classics. Start with an order of delicious ceviche, sumptuous plantain empanadas filled with black beans, or a traditional salad of diced nopal cactus paddles with fresh cheese. Favorite main courses include chiles rellenos packed with shrimp, and Mexican duck carnitas served in an arrayán-orange sauce. (Arrayán, the namesake of the place, is a small bittersweet fruit native to the region.) The homemade ice creams and sorbets make for a tasty and refreshing finish to your meal. The full bar offers an extensive selection of tequilas, regional liquors, Mexican wines, and nonalcoholic aguas frescas, a blended drink of fresh fruit and water. Sample their signature raicilla martini -- made with the potent local spirit raicilla and infused with herbs for a unique flavor. Excellent service rounds out this requisite dining experience.
