Sazón
Interior Mexican gem, owned by graduates of Le Cordon Bleu Austin, who serve flawless renditions of dishes from Puebla, Oaxaca, Yucatan, Veracruz, and Mexico City. Try the silky cream of corn soup and the earthy puerco en chile cascabel, washed down with a fresh lime margarita or refreshing michelada on the patio. – Claudia Alarcón
