"Best reminder that Mexico invented chocolate and chipotle." A team of pros give Nuevo Latino ingredients what they need: polish, wit and integrity. Meats and seafood get classy regional accents and smart modern twists like rum-kissed steak mojito. Sides excite too: Start with chipotle oysters and finish, if you can, with chocolate spoon cake edged with cinnamon. *One of Chris Sherman's best restaurants of 2004 and 2005.
