Summary
The New York Times released a new list of 41 standout Mexican restaurants across the United States after more than a year of reporting, editing and travel.
The project argues U.S. Mexican food is in a 15-year renaissance, with chefs pushing far beyond Tex-Mex, tacos and nachos into more regional and specific cooking.
The list is presented as an unranked mosaic rather than a best-of hierarchy, spanning food trucks, corner restaurants and tasting-menu counters in both major cities and small towns.
One example highlighted is Acamaya in New Orleans, where chef Ana Castro draws on Gulf seafood and Mexican techniques; the restaurant opened two years ago and now has a sister spot, Casimiro.
