"Here, the tortillas come fresh and inky blue. They’re cut and fried for the nachos, which themselves are an intimidating with a lattice of crema and guacamole hillock (best to share them)," Thrillist wrote. "Reflecting the chef’s heritage and the dominant immigrant population, the menu skews toward the cuisine of Puebla state. There are specials like the sopa de poblana, a vegetable soup with cut corn cob, bantam sliced mushrooms, and a striking, red chili floating in the center. Also stunning are meatballs the size of billiards balls swimming in a chipotle sauce."
El Atordero is located at 708 Washington Ave. in Brooklyn. You can see Thrillist's full list of the best Mexican restaurant's in the U.S. here.
