Jākö Cocina y Agave in The Colony packs big flavor at Grandscape

This agreeable restaurant and cocktail lounge, whose Modern Mexican menu nods to Tulum and Mexico City, makes the most of its Grandscape location by anchoring the dining room to a broad covered patio.

As with the best Mexican cuisine, simplicity rules when quality ingredients shine. Begin with one of the bar’s powerful tequila cocktails then follow with a trio of flaky arepas.

For a main course, the grilled sea bream with plantain tostones will catch your eye,  but the D.F.-style street tacos are the way to go.
