World-Ranked No.22 Mexican Cuisine? | Cosme (1)

📍Cosme The legendary No.22 Mexican cuisine in the world, helmed by Chef Enrique Olvera from Mexico City, who gained fame with Pujol. Maybe my expectations were just too high, but overall, the experience was pretty average. I didn’t get to taste the rich and interesting combinations that Mexican cuisine is known for, and the portions were quite small (I ended up eating the taco shells on their own because I was still hungry! 🥲). Apart from the dessert, I didn’t find any dishes particularly surprising. After finishing the meal, I was left feeling puzzled. Can anyone tell me why it’s ranked so high? 🌟 🦞Maine Lobster Pattypan Squash, Mojo The tiny pieces of lobster meat barely make up a whole lobster, and there’s hardly any seasoning. The pumpkin tempura on the side is quite crispy, though. Without the taco shells, I wouldn’t have recognized this as a Mexican dish. 🦞 🐚Atlantic Scallops Al Pastor This dish follows the same logic as the lobster—seafood combined with vegetable bits and mayonnaise. For a Michelin-starred restaurant, the scallops were really quite small. 🦀 🦀Carolina Soft Shell Crab, Chilepachole, Avocado Vegetables with fried soft-shell crab, still lacking in seasoning. I don’t understand why soft-shell crab is paired with cucumber slices, carrot slices, and cherry tomatoes. These ingredients really don’t seem to go well together. 🦀 #NewYork 🌇🌟
