This Mexican eatery from chef-partner Raul Arreola, who first made a name for himself at popular Lakeview BYOB Mixteco Grill, offers a menu not too different from Mixteco's. Expect authentic eats with an emphasis on Oaxacan moles, as well as carne asada, cochinita pibil and other roasted and grilled meat dishes. The emphasis at the bar is on tequlia and margaritas, with a tequila list nearly 50 strong and a signature marg (the Rustico Margarita) designed by Arreola himself. The bright dining room exudes warmth, with lots of stone and wood accents and an 8-foot-high gourd chandelier. When the weather's nice, bifold windows open onto the small front patio; when it's chilly, you can seek refuge in the sunny atrium.
