Las Delicias de Mi General

Top choice in Northeast Mexico


Everywhere you look, this place has Mexican art and nods to those who create it. Murals of revolutionary heroes and film stars, life-sized catrinas (paper mâché skeletons), lucha libre (wrestling) dolls, religious art…even household items don the walls, with murals of alebrijes (fantastical creatures) outside. The cooking, classical Mexican, is quite good, and pairs with the inventive mezcal cocktails and craft beers.
