La Santisima, formerly La Condessa Gourmet Taco Shop, has a pretty simple menu — tacos, corn quesadillas, and burros — although the flavors aren’t limited to Sonoran, like at many restaurants in these parts. There’s seafood from the coastal regions, Oaxacan black mole, Mexico City-style chicken tinga, and melt-in-your-mouth cochinita pibil from the Yucatán. Don’t […]
