It took almost a decade for contemporary Mexican restaurant Acopio to rise from the ashes of a taqueria that burned to the ground in 2012. But it was worth the wait. Acopio feels like a modern Mexico City or Guadalajara restaurant, with a menu that makes the most of California’s excellent produce. Dishes like chile adobo duck confit with chocolate chile molé, and mushroom and hibiscus flower tacos, are so delicious they haunt our dreams. Head here for dinner, when the succulent-and-tile-filled spot is buzzing, or grab a seat at the bar and sip on a cocktail made with jalapeño-infused tequila, cilantro oil, and pickled pineapple.
