Comer

You won’t find tacos at this sunlit, all-white canteen that opened a block from Gare du Nord station in November. But you will find Mexican dishes like encacahuatadas (theirs features mushrooms smothered in a creamy mole sauce with peanuts and smoked pepper), and huarache, a plate of corn tortillas topped with shredded pork, black beans, and a tower of fresh herbs. 

Comer is only open for dinner on Thursday and Friday nights, but we prefer lunch Tuesday through Friday anyway. Grab one of the cushion-less stools and settle in for the three-course prix-fixe that’s just €28. (You can order à la carte, too.) Whatever you do, don’t skip the rice pudding with toasted coconut and citrus fruits.
