If you are looking for a nice dinner out and want a bit of a departure from the national standards, Los Danzantes have you well taken care of. I wouldn't question their patriotism, the food is undoubtedly Mexican, but they give their chefs freedom to interpret the national dishes as loosely as they like, and it's always interesting to have a meal with them. Want even more interesting? Forget microbrew pubs, these guys distil their own mezcal. Carla and I first went to the one in Oaxaca City, and were so impressed we made sure to go to the one in Coyoacan as soon as we got back to Mexico City - loved it again. In 2010, we made it to the one in Playa del Carmen to complete the trifecta. Since Carla's family is from the capital, we know the Coyoacan branch the best, but we always enjoy it and find something interesting on the menu. Over the years, at various restaurants, we have tried many interesting dishes, among the most notable, huitlacoche fondu and a quince and goat cheese empanada - one of the finest desserts you can imagine. You'll find it a stone's throw away from the beautiful Parroquia de San Juan Bautista at Jardin del Centenario 12 (metro: Viveros).
