As you get closer, the sounds of laughter and mariachi act like a magnet, practically pulling you toward the latest restaurant to surface near Union Market.

The second door, set off with fancy metal handles and frosted glass, leads to a host stand and a swarm of staff who look thrilled to have you for dinner.

is graced with a flotilla of chandeliers and a vivid painting of mountains as the sun sets. Quite the stages for comforts spanning chicken enchiladas and queso fundido — the best in town, a molten mass of cheese and mushrooms scattered with toasted quinoa and served with a scroll of excellent flour tortillas.Starr says he cares about offering “great food, but I wanted El Presidente to be fun,” too.
