Food & Drink — San Miguel de Allende
Pinda
Fire is the organizing principle. Everything else follows from it. Emiliano Ayala runs the kitchen at Pinda, on Calzada de la Presa, cooking almost everything over the grill. He trained in Bilbao and worked through serious Basque kitchens before coming back to Mexico, and what came back with him is technique and a short line to local producers. Plates land family-style in the middle of the table, which is the correct way to eat here. Order broadly and let the table fill. Mario Ballesteros designed the room through a distinctly Mexican lens, pulling in artisans, makers, and suppliers from across the country. Most of what you touch has a workshop behind it. The wine list is serious and the terrace is where to open the bottle. Polished, never precious.
