Moyuelo

It is not every day in Puebla that one finds Chinese buns filled with pork belly and glazed in salsa matcha and hoisin or golden, tempura-fried huauzontle served with sweet potato puree. Since 2014, Chef Fernando Hernández has been cooking with global, often Asian, inspiration that is far different from the typical cuisine of the region. Dishes are as delicious as they are pretty. The grilled pork jowl with lentils, which is almost too good to share with anyone else at the table, is especially memorable. While the bar downstairs shakes up wonderful cocktails, the upstairs dining room is airy, cool and perfectly minimalist.
