No place does street food better than Mexico City. And since international travel is still difficult to pull off, there’s Alebrije. Chef Edgar Victoria hits all the comfort notes you want from Mexican food but in a refined way that works for his surroundings, whether he’s at the Bastion bar (Sunday and Monday) or the Richland or East Nashville farmers markets (Saturday and Tuesday respectively). Try sopes topped with chicharrón, salsa verde and queso fresco, or a huitlacoche tlayuda without knowing what either of those words means. (Does one mean corn smut? Yep! And it’s as tasty as its definition is daunting.) Top it off with a churro cheesecake and let all your Chipotle nightmares fade away.
