This week on Good Food Jonathan Gold reviews Bar Ama, the new Tex-Mex concept from Chef Josef Centeno of Baco Mercat fame. He recommends the puffy tacos, queso, molcajete, cauliflower with cilantro pesto, kale and zucchini calabacita and chicken fried steak. If you are someone who instinctually orders dessert, the tres leches cake is the way to go. He also highlights the extensive tequilla and mezcal selection.
