La Hacienda

This resort restaurant makes up half of the Four-Diamond Mexican eateries in the country. (That’s right, there’s only two with this distinct honor.) Start with the chile ancho en nogada (a pepper stuffed with wood-roasted chicken and dried fruits) and don’t leave until you’ve conquered the margarita flight.
