Meet the Restaurateurs Pushing Boston’s Mexican Food to New Territory

The founders of Chilacates, Tenoch, and El Centro feed the city tacos, tortas, and more

Boston has long pigeonholed Mexican cuisine as a genre made up of tortilla chips, guacamole, and burritos. But those days are slowly coming to an end — local restaurateurs with growing chains are working hard to change the experience of Mexican food for Bostonians.

At Tenoch’s three restaurants and one food truck, for example, diners indulge in the restaurant’s take on tortas, large Mexican sandwiches made using the traditional flat telera bread. At El Centro, which has locations in Belmont, Brookline, Dedham, and the South End, one can feast on tacos light, served on lettuce instead of tortillas as a tribute to the famous Jass Light taqueria in Hermosillo, Mexico. And at Chilacates, which opened its first location in Jamaica Plain in 2015 and now has five locations in Greater Boston, visitors dig into an assortment of tacos constructed with traditional meats like al pastor, carnitas, and lengua.

A spread from El Centro

“Get out of your comfort zone,” says Allan Rodriguez, the owner of El Centro. “It’s more than Corona, quesadillas, guacamole, and burritos. Go and try a nice mole from scratch. Go and try some pozole. Ceviche is the freshest seafood you’ve ever eaten.”

The owners of these restaurants also recognize that Bostonians are doing their part and becoming better educated about Mexican cuisine.

“People have traveled, so you cannot fool them,” says Rodriguez, who opened the first branch of his mini-empire of El Centro in the South End in 2011. “You cannot fool any Bostonians anymore about Mexican food like you could have 15 years ago.”

Tenoch co-owner Alvaro Sandoval’s forthcoming Medford restaurant, El Tacuba, will hinge on his feeling that Boston is ready for more. He told Eater that the restaurant and tequila bar will feature seafood, preparations, and ingredients inspired by his home state of Veracruz.

The menu will include pescado a la Veracruzana, a classic dish from the region made with white fish, tomatoes, capers, and olives. And he doesn’t plan on modifying the food to cater to the Boston palates of old.

“We use the same recipes that we make at home,” Sandoval says. “We are from Veracruz, and that inherently influences our style and our ingredients. We come up with unique combinations in our own kitchens based on our own tastes, or things that we grew up eating.”

But Sandoval feels that getting people to try some of these new foods comes down to two things. “First, people are very visual,” Sandoval says. “If they don’t know what flor de calabaza (squash blossom) or huitlacoche (corn mushroom) is or looks like, they’re not likely to order it, but they are so delicious in our quesadillas at Tenoch. Once people see it, it becomes more accessible.”

Terrence B. Doyle/Eater

The other thing is word of mouth. “Often when we have tamales, they sell out right away because people tell each other,” Sandoval says.

Though Rodriguez grew up in the north of Mexico, he takes a fusion approach with El Centro. Diners will find dishes from his home state of Sonora, like carne asada tacos and caramelos, which are tacos made with grilled beef and topped with melted Chihuahua cheese. But he told Eater he also offers mole inspired by the versions made in Oaxaca, far south from Sonora, and sopes, which are more often found in the central and southern regions of Mexico.

The restaurant business is in Rodriguez’s blood — his family owned restaurants and taquerias and a torta shop when he was a child growing up in Hermosillo, Mexico, close to the Arizona border.

“I have my father’s recipe for homemade flour tortillas; I have my grandma’s recipe for the same churros I was selling on the streets when I was 10 years old,” he says. “So that’s what inspired me. I was always in the kitchen.”

Unlike the owners of El Centro and Tenoch, Chilacates owner Socrates Abreu is not from Mexico; he is Dominican-American and grew up eating the food of his parentage. But after traveling to Sonora, Mexico, in 2010 for a wedding, he fell in love with the cuisine, such as carne asada and seafood found along the Sonoran coast, especially ceviche. He and his wife already knew they wanted to own a restaurant, and after that trip, they decided it should serve some of these things. One restaurant has turned into five, with one more on the way.

“When we went to my brother’s wedding in Sonora, we were tasting a lot of the food and we were like, ‘Damn, no one cooks like this in Boston,’” says Abreu. “So we came back and my wife was like, ‘You’ve got to open a Mexican restaurant.’”

While he doesn’t employ the technique in his Chilacates kitchens, Abreu said he loves the way Sonorans grill meat over a wood fire. Chilacates focuses more on meat cooked for longer periods of time, like carnitas, lengua, al pastor, and chicken tinga.

Abreu also says that being Dominican, he feels a kindred spirit with cuisine from the Caribbean side of Mexico. His sister-in-law Kaurys Ramirez, who is also his head chef and business partner, is married to a chef from Acapulco, which Abreu says has also had an influence on the menu.

Chilacates [Official Photo]

“I think we’re doing a little bit of a combo, taking something from here, taking something from there,” says Abreu.

Abreu continues to travel to Mexico to procure ingredients, like dried chiles and various spices (though he’s taciturn about which spices, exactly), and to learn more about the culture and the cuisine. And while he’s pleased when anyone enjoys the food from his restaurants, he’s especially so when Mexicans have positive feedback.

“I have so much respect for their culture,” he says. “And when we have Mexicans come in and eat the food and they’re like, ‘Yo, I can’t believe you’re Dominican!’ that means the world to me.”

Despite the relatively recent influx of more traditional Mexican restaurants, Greater Boston is still dominated by squarely American eateries like gastropubs, new American bistros, sub shops, and mediocre pizza parlors. For American diners without fundamental knowledge of Mexican cuisine, diving in can be intimidating, but the restaurateurs have advice.

“If we see customers playing it safe every day, it’s our job to help them get out of their box,” says Abreu. “I’ll say ‘Taste this lengua, tell me what you think about it.’ Don’t just eat grilled chicken every day.”

“Be adventurous,” adds Sandoval. “If you don’t know what something means or is, just ask us. Try out our sauces; they’re not all spicy. There’s something for everyone.”

Phnom Penh’s most iconic restaurants

Moeun Nhean | Publication date 16 January 2018 | 14:39 ICT

The interior of Restaurant Le Royal in Phnom Penh. Photo supplied

Phnom Penh has a startling variety of restaurants to choose from, with something for every taste and budget. But in a city where new restaurants can open and close within a matter of months a small handful of dining destinations have distinguished themselves by standing the test of time. Moeun Nhean, the Post’s special reports editor, takes a look at some of Phnom Penh’s most famous restaurants and their contributions to the capital’s culinary landscape.

Topaz

Topaz has been offering the highest standard of service and fine dining for over 20 years and is consistently billed as the city’s top restaurant, hosting diplomats, ministers, businessmen and royalty. Having relocated to a new space in 2016 the larger venue retains the stylish decor and elegant ambiance of the original, but adds more private rooms and outdoor seating in a lush courtyard beneath an ancient banyan tree.

The sophisticated menu of French haute cuisine builds on classic Gallic recipes, which are prepared using only top-quality ingredients and whose exquisite presentations never surpass the combination of amazing flavours. Topaz also boasts one of the city’s biggest wine cellars and a knowledgeable sommelier to guide you through its impressive selection.

Prices are as sumptuous as the setting, but reasonable given the gastronomic talent – and its three-course business lunch set is an exceptional value.

162 Preah Norodom Blvd. 023 221 622

Chinese House

Worth a visit just for its gorgeous architecture and vintage-chic décor, Chinese House also offers reliably good food and a chic cocktail bar. The landmark eatery occupies a restored historic building near the capital’s port that incorporates both French and Chinese elements and exudes a timeless charm. The dining room is an aesthetic feast of ornate floor tiles, grainy wooden beams and soft-hued walls.

The constantly-evolving menu is inventive and eclectic, with fusion fare that includes gastronomic samplings from Asia to Africa and South America. Dishes include char siu glazed duck and a Kampot pepper crusted wagyu beef tenderloin, as well as more exotic offerings such as South African springbok tenderloin.

At night the downstairs bar pulses to life, with its master mixologist doling out craft cocktails to its smartly dressed clientele. #45 Sisowath Quay (corner Street 84) 092 553 330

Malis

Quite possibly Cambodia’s most famous restaurant, Malis is universally known by locals and expats, and appears in every travel guidebook’s must-visit list. Set in a lush garden courtyard, Malis is the embodiment of master chef Luu Meng’s vision to put traditional Khmer cuisine on the international radar.

The menu of “living Cambodian cuisine” draws inspiration from classic Khmer home cooking, reinventing traditional dishes with bold and flavourful ingredients that elevate them to another level. Signature dishes include a masterfully prepared fish amok and hidden chreav duck, a traditional Siem Reap recipe of slow-roasted duck marinated in lemongrass.

Meng and his protégés are continually elevating the level of Khmer cuisine, and while Malis attracts its share of elites and celebrities, it remains unpretentious and affordable. #136 Preah Norodom Blvd. 015 814 888

Romdeng

Housed in a beautiful colonial villa with seating in the garden and beside a small pool, Romdeng is especially popular with tourists for its winning combo of good food, good prices and a good cause.

The no-holds-barred menu covers the full spectrum of traditional Khmer and regional cuisine, from hearty dishes such as a Muslim beef cheek curry and a spicy basil chicken stirfry, to deep-fried tarantulas for the more adventurous palate.

The food is prepared and delivered to the tables by local hospitality students – though you might not realise this if we didn’t tell you as the food and service is invariably top notch. All profits from the restaurant go to local NGO Mith Samlanh, which invests in building the futures of former street children.

The drinks menu, like the food, puts emphasis on local ingredients, with tempting and imaginative concoctions that include a lemongrass and galangal cordial soda, and a turmeric and lime daiquiri. #74 Street 174 070 519 565

Van’s

Set in one of the city’s grandest colonial buildings, Van’s exudes an air of opulence with a spacious and sumptuously appointed dining room that hearkens back to a bygone era. It also has two private salons for intimate dining and a garden café for more casual affairs.

For nearly a decade, French chef Nicolas Malherbe has been tantalising palates with his creative blending of Asian flavours and French haute cuisine. His influence is evident in everything from the meticulous sourcing of highest-quality ingredients to the artistic plating and impressively executed dishes.

The wine list is extensive and the desserts are divine, including a chocolate fondant with a heavenly caramel filling. Fittingly, it is all too easy to rack up a hefty bill here, but the business lunch and fixed price menus offer excellent value for tighter budgets. #5 Street 102 023 722 067

Here are some other well-known venues that put out consistently good food in a memorable atmosphere and look destined to join the ranks of the capital’s iconic eateries.

Restaurant Le Royal

Restaurant Le Royal, the most elegant dining venue of the Raffles Hotel Le Royal, is as charming and refined as the landmark colonial building in which it is set. The spacious dining room oozes grandeur with its fine upholstery, grand chandeliers and intricately hand-painted ceiling. And the menu, which highlights the culinary traditions of French fine dining and authentic Khmer royal cuisine, is as exquisitely executed as it is presented. Raffles Hotel Le Royal 92 Rukhak Vithei 023 981 888

Khéma

Khéma’s two outlets stand out for making fine dining affordable, offering the same calibre of gastronomy you might expect from an upscale French restaurant, but without the hit on your wallet. The sophisticated menu offers classic French cuisine and European dishes, meticulously prepared and served in a refined yet relaxed setting. There is also an in-house bakery and delicatessen offering gourmet imported and housemade goods for takeaway. Prices are surprisingly affordable and the daily free-flow breakfast is one of the city’s best values. Khéma Pasteur: Arunreas Hotel, #163 Street 51 023 213 969

Khéma La Poste: #41 Street 13 (corner Street 98) 015 841 888

Kravanh

The understated entrance of Kravanh conceals a stylish Khmer restaurant with chic traditional decor and an elegant yet relaxed setting. Kravanh celebrates Cambodian cuisine and offers artfully prepared Khmer royal cuisine and traditional favourites, as well as some lesser known regional culinary gems. The food is authentic and finely prepared using only the freshest local ingredients, and is certain to leave a lasting impression. 112 Sothearos Blvd, near Sihanouk Blvd 012 539 977 #67 Street 450, near the Russian Market 012 319 111

Do Forni

Authenticity is at the heart of every dish served at Do Forni, which is regarded by many as the capital’s best Italian restaurant. The menu has been crafted by an Italian chef and celebrates the regional and seasonal specialties of his native country. The dishes are prepared using the freshest ingredients, executed perfectly and served in an elegant dining venue with an open kitchen and a glass wall affording views of the pool. The wine list is of a calibre to match the food, featuring more than 60 wines including the finest Italian labels. Sofitel Phnom Penh Phokeethra Hotel 26 Sothearos Blvd 023 999 200

Tonle Bassac

With two outlets in the capital, Tonle Bassac is a long-running and insanely popular buffet restaurant offering a mindboggling array of tasty Asian specialty dishes, some 200 at last count. Even with seating for hundreds this Phnom Penh institution is routinely packed with groups and families devouring the grilled meats, seafood and vegetarian fare on offer. Prices are quite reasonable given the quality and volume of food. 177 Mao Tse Toung Blvd 023 210 019 534 Preah Monivong Blvd 081 913 888

South Florida sure has its fair share of diners, but Top Hat Deli’s (415 NE 3rd Street, Fort Lauderdale) unique updated deli fare hits the spot.

April 28, 2017
