Veronica's Take

Elena Reygadas, the culinary force behind Rosetta, just clinched the No. 46 spot on the World's 50 Best 2025 list, and her evolution as a chef is as compelling as her dishes. Starting with a love for fresh pasta and Italian flavors, Reygadas has since pivoted to a deeply Mexico-centric menu, driven by years of research into her country's rich culinary heritage. Her genius lies in reinterpreting traditional Mexican dishes with a modern twist, making Rosetta a must-visit for anyone seeking the soul of Mexico on a plate.
