Fodor's Expert Review Aceq

Head to this cozy bistro tucked behind some galleries in Arroyo Seco's charming little business district for super, reasonably priced farm-to-table food with a decidedly global bent, plus one of the most interesting craft-beer lists in the state. There are just a few tables in the simple dining room with chunky wood tables and a small bar, plus some outdoor tables on a quiet patio—reservations are a good idea, especially on weekends. The menu changes often but always features some dishes unusual for the area, such as pig head torchon with snap pea salad and mapo tofu with jasmine rice, ginger, peanuts, and a slightly piquant Szechuan sauce.
