Ofrenda

At this neighborhood restaurant owned by Jorge Guzman, Cliff Fried and chef Mario Hernandez, you'll find homestyle Mexicano food at an affordable price. All dishes—whether a breakfast item such as the poblano pepper, corn and Manchego omelette; or dinner mains like the breaded pork loin with roasted tomato salsa and zucchini succotash—are priced under $20. Wines are cheap too, with 20 bottles, including some from Mexico, for less than $40. Cocktails, meanwhile, focus on mescal- and tequila-spiked drinks like the Verde (mescal, Patrón Silver, cucumber, agave syrup, cilantro).
