Cantina y Punto

Bogotá


From Michelin-starred Mexican chef Roberto Ruíz (of Punto MX fame), this high-end destination for comida mexicana is not to be missed: dig into fiery and tangy fresh salsas and guacamole served in a traditional molcajete (a stone mortar) while agonizing over the menu: cochinita pibil or brisket tacos? Habanero, ancho and pasilla-chili braised pork shank or a blessed pork confit?

Of course, there's a wealth of tequilas and mezcals to keep the mood festive and the beautiful space, a rustic-chic collision of hardwood, unpolished steel and exposed brick lit by massive hanging light bulbs over the sociable bar, is easy on the eyes as well.
