This contemporary Mexican restaurant, named after Mexico's omnipresent street-side shoe shiners, aims to take diners on a South of the Border journey-- not only through its cuisine, but also with its decor, which includes everything from custom carved wooden doors to hand-crafted mosaic walls depicting Mexican artists like Frida Kahlo. Expect to find dishes like carnitas and fajitas, along with elevated regional classics-- ranging from aguachile de camaron (a traditional coastal Mexican ceviche) to Cochinita Pibil (a slow roasted pork dish from the Yucatan). Not to be missed are the restaurant's mezcal laden libations, which can best be had on the oasis-like patio that boasts views of downtown Dallas.
